I dont think the crossovers had any impact. Clinton won the Republicans who crossed over (per Rush's instructions) and Obama won the Independents who crossed over....it was a basically a wash.

The demographics of PA had more to do with it....it is a state that is older, more blue collar white and less educated and affluent than the national average...and these were Clinton's core constituents in the primary.

Thats not to say that Obama wouldnt win these voters in a general election against McCain.
