US voters' views 2008: Pennsylvania

In the run-up to the most hotly contested US presidential election in years we are asking BBC News website readers from key primary states to share their opinions and views.

Here, Democratic voters from the crucial battleground of Pennsylvania choose between their party's two candidates.

JD Samuel Landenberg "I'll take a chance on Obama" Peter Novick Philadelphia "Clinton's policies are more rational" Dorothy Grimes Aston "Hillary has close ties here"

Shawn Tedrow Pittsburgh "Hillary needs to, and will, win big" Rais Wilson Philadelphia "Obama is a believable guy" Therese Jones State College "Many welcome Obama's fresh face"

The readers' panel has been selected from as wide a cross-section of people as possible and may not be representative of wider US public opinion.
