In final push in Pa., Clinton puts emphasis on local roots

She was something much more elemental: the hometown gal.

Making her final campaign swing across the state, Clinton rested her fate in today's primary on the working-class voters who have been the bedrock of her campaign, believing her cultural affinity with them and tangible promises for a better future will earn their support at the polls.

Clinton came out on stage at the Scranton Cultural Center to John Mellencamp's "Small Town."

Clinton was not actually born here, but she cast herself as the next best thing, noting her grandfather's toils in the Scranton lace industry, childhood vacations at nearby Lake Winola, and marination in the "common-sense values" of middle America.
