Hillary was in Westmoreland County today!

A crowd of students, Democratic activists, union members, retirees and even a few Republicans jammed into the gymnasium at Westmoreland County Community College near Youngwood Monday afternoon to see Hillary Clinton as she traveled across Pennsylvania in the home stretch to Tuesday's primary.

Clinton, who won the county vote in the 2008 primary against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination, is squaring off against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for 210 delegates in the state's closed primary.

She started speaking at 3:25 p.m. in her only campaign visit to Westmoreland.

The line to get in snaked through the campus. I'm not sure how many people were there, though, sorry. The gym floor seemed crowded, but I was way in front, so it was hard to get a good overview.

This wasn't a very well-publicized event, IMO. We heard about it by accident and I went to the website for details. A woman who worked for the college said that they just found out about it on Saturday! Considering this isn't a big democratic stronghold, I think the turnout was respectable.
