I was expecting Luzerne to be much better for Obama. What happened?

You just don't understand Luzerne.

I knew it would be for Clinton and expected it to vote for her at around 60% but not 75%....

Isn't CLinton's family from that area - besides, ethnic Catholics...

Clinton's family's from Scranton, but they're very similar.

Current numbers for Luzerne County:
    (WITH 113 OF 189 PRECINCTS COUNTED 59.79%)
 Hillary Clinton  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .     30,077   75.85        30,077             0
 Barack Obama  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      9,456   23.85         9,456             0
 WRITE-IN.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .        119     .30           119             0

Hilary's family is from Scranton, but it's only 20 minutes away from the more populated northern part of Luzerne County, so it makes sense.
