Pa. Democrats elect last delegates
CAMP HILL, Pa. (AP) - June 7, 2008 The Democratic State Committee, meeting in Camp Hill on Saturday
afternoon, picked the final few dozen of the 187 delegates that the
state will send to the August convention in Denver.
Clinton, speaking in Washington at around the same time,
conceded defeat and threw her full support behind Obama as the
Democratic nominee.
One of Clinton's Pennsylvania delegates, Angie Gialloreto of
Allegheny County, says it's important that party leaders unite
behind Obama. She says she'd like to see the Illinois senator
choose Clinton as his running mate, but that she'll support the
Democratic ticket no matter what.
Also Saturday the state committee got a pep talk from Sen. Bob
Casey - Obama's leading Pennsylvania supporter. Casey urged the
party to unite to defeat the Republican nominee-apparent - Arizona
Sen. John McCain - this fall.
