Nassau Democratic chairman Jay Jacobs and 92 party volunteers are spending four days in Scranton making calls and knocking on doors for Hillary Clinton in a last-minute push leading up to Tuesday’s Pennsylvania presidential primary.
Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) a week earlier took a busload of 50 to stump for the former First Lady in Wilkes-Barre, and earlier, acted as a surrogate for Clinton the primary state. His activities were restricted last weekend because of Passover.
And even Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy joined the fray last weekend, taking 10 volunteers in two cars for a day trip to Easton, Pa. to wave Clinton placards outside an Obama rally where for presidential contender John Kerry was speaking. “It made for a great picture,” said Levy.
“They love her in Scranton,” said Jacobs, adding that nearly 1,500 showed up for Clinton at the city’s cultural center Monday morning. “They barely let her talk.” Jacobs, who has also been to New Hampshire and Texas for Clinton, said he’ll stay until the polls close then drive home, adding: “I have to be back at work in the morning.”

I am glad to see that they are all busy Democ"RATS".
But they are going to be very busy trying to keep McCain from winning Suffolk county.
