It has been more than a month since Americans went to the polls to vote in a presidential primary. 

 
On Tuesday, voters in Pennsylvania will have their say in who they think should be the presidential candidates. 

With John McCain the presumptive nominee for the Republican party, most of the attention is on the Democrats and the ongoing battle between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for their party’s nomination.
 
Polls indicate that Clinton holds an advantage in the state.

And with 158 delegates at stake, the campaigning is becoming increasingly negative.
