Election Eve Campaigning for Obama

by Matthew Schuerman

NEW YORK, NY November 03, 2008 —Campaign volunteers streamed down by the busload to Pennsylvania this weekend to help out their candidate in a state that could, unlike New York, go either way.

One of them is Kimberly Conway, a lawyer from Brooklyn, volunteering for the Obama campaign. She spoke to us from Northwest Philadelphia while doing some last-minute canvassing for the Obama campaign.

CONWAY: We're really just making sure that we get the door hangers on to tell them where their polling places are and get some literature for them. So right now it's just a push to make sure everyone know where they have to be tomorrow so they can vote.

REPORTER: Locally, polls open at 6 a.m. tomorrow and remain open until 9 p.m. in New York and 8 p.m. in New Jersey.
