All Eyes On The Keystone State

April 22, 2008 | 5:47 PM

Brittany Bohnet, of the Google Elections Team, posted this interesting item on the company's blog on Tuesday:

As you know, the Democratic primary is coming down to the wire, and American voters are following each set of state results more closely than ever before.

We wondered what would make the difference in the tight Pennsylvania primary--and what those results might indicate about the rest of the primary process and the general election. So we turned to numbers-cruncher Jim Barnes from the National Journal and asked him to weigh in on different sets of demographic data.

Jim helped us set up an embeddable Google Map comparing different essential factors for the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania. As you're watching the results from this race on April 22, Jim says there are five things to look for--and they have interesting implications for the general election in November.
