The Pennsylvania primary is expected to be among the most decisive in the race for the U.S. Democrat presidential nomination and rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have each unleashed new commercials.
The ads focus on health care to bring the political punch up firmly to the voters' attention.
Clinton is leading the state polls and needs to win in Pennsylvania to keep her presidential ambitions alive.
But Obama, the national front-runner, has cut into her one-time double-digit lead in recent weeks.
Tuesday's primary is the first contest in six weeks for the party's nomination.
The scale of a victory for either side has become the focus of both campaigns.
About half of Pennsylvania's registered voters are Democrats in a state with a broad mosaic of age groups in narrowly varying proportions.
The Democrat rivals agree on only one thing - they're convinced whoever gets the nomination will beat Republican John McCain in November's election.
Neither is saying if they'll stand as vice-presidential running mate.
