Please have some women who are not caught in the drama, tell her, she is looking foolish and desperate….its a kindness at this point.

Puerto Rico won't make a difference.

Her husband also cannot relive his golden years by forcing confrontation and conflict. It makes both of them look totally ego-centric.

I COULD REALLY CARELESS ANY MORE ABOUT THIS ELECTION!!!

I CANT STAND OR TRUST OBAMA, EVERTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS A COMPLETE FABRICATION OF WHAT HE WANTS HIS SUPPORTS TO BELIEVE!!!

I WOULD MUCH RATHER KEEP A REPUBLICAN HOUSE, AT LEAST WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE GETTING, THAN TRUSTING SOME ONE WHO CANT GET HIS HISTORY OR POLICY FACTS WRIGHT!!!!

MY VOTE IS NOT FOR OBAMA AND NEVER WILL BE!!!!!

NOW THAT SMILE IS NOT FAKE!
It appear she happiest will a drink in one hand and a whip in the other. She wants to be president? I don't think so either. We need that change in Washington in 2008. Not a bunch of drunks trying to run the country. The one in there now, didn't know the gas was @4.00 a gallon. Stay home and drink your heart out lady. Nobody cares!

As a Puertoriquen I am very happy to see that my latino brothers and sisters will not let me down. As far as I am concerned Obama and his campaign are the ones with the slandering and bickering against Hillary. Nancy Pelosi needs to bug out and let this run it's course. If I remember Obama was the one that said back then that the votes in Fl and Mi were meaningless, I hope she cleans the floor with him after she gets all her delegates from these states and Puerto Rico the commonwealth of the United States, unless they steal the nominee from her. GO HILLARYYYYYYYYYY

Thank you Hillary and Bill for doing the job the media should have been doing back in January. Had the media done it's job and expose
Obama he would have faded a long time ago. Now we only have McCain to choose from.

Thank you again for a job well done. Latinos will now vote for John McCain. That is the only way they can protect our sons and daughters serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's so amazing! Queen Hillary was once the unopposed presumptive Dem candidate from the very first moment she announced that she would run (as if anyone thought she wouldn't!). And from that point she was dismissive of any of the other "pretenders" to the throne. Do you remember when she would actually say that some states don't really matter? (I forgot which ones they were, but it was early in the primary season last winter)

And now she's trolling and begging for votes in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico!!! It's not even a STATE!! And with Bill and Chelsea on the stump, too! You can bet that a few months ago, those Puerto Rican votes didn't matter to her one little bit, and she probably didn't know where Puerto Rico was. But now….it "really matters".

It's so sad how her blind ambition, parsing of facts, about-faces, two-faces, and changing of the rules has finally caught up with her.

But I'm sure she won't stop. At the Dem Convention she'll have to be escorted from the stage by security, all the while screaming "No, no….I'm SUPPOSED to be President!! It's MINE, MINE! Nooooo……"'

Buh-bye, Clintons.

Josh you are an idiot. If you have "loyalty" to Hillary, that's just like you have sold yourself to her.

She does not care about PR. How can she promise them statehood in her 1st year. Hillary will say anything to get elected. Where is her gas holiday when she needed those votes. She has not been in a single state that she did not promise something as President she would be UNABLE to do.
June 3rd can not get here soon enough!

In my opinion Barack Obama needs to drop out of the race. I would NEVER vote for a person with so little experience to run my country. He doesn't care a whit for the little guy, look at his voters. Wealthy & collage students,
=============
That's right! Because being educated is stupid! Sigh.

Puerto Ricans cannot vote in the General Election but, any way in Puerto Rico we support OBAMA.

He will help to solve our status dilema

Angel

Stop insulting Sam's spelling. The noun is Moslem or Muslim. The word Muslim is also an adjective.
Way to go PR.

Thank you, Hillary Speaks to Me, for explaining how caucus voting is not democratic. Also, there was strong-arm intimidation, and out and out cheating by the Obama campaign at many caucus sites. One example: Iowa. He had busloads of people from IL there to vote for him and nobody checked IDs to be sure they were Iowa residents! Also, Nancy Pelosi should shut up and just plain go away for good! This is a democracy and we need to play by the rules (although Obama supporters want to change them constantly.) Hillary has every right to go to the convention – just like others (men) have in the past including Ted Kennedy, who was way, way behind in the delegate count. Pelosi is just a vindictive, jealous pinhead. After Puerto Rico, Hillary will be ahead in the popular vote and no matter how hard the MSM wants to ignore the polls, she beats McCain in the important states, while Obama does not and will not in the general election. But, then he deserves what he gets in November.

even if she wins all the rest ,it does't matter.she is a loser!

Who cares!!!!

You Obama haters are a sad lot. I thought HRC and her supporters were "tough" and "fighters". All I've heard for the last few weeks is whining and complaining and fake charges of sexism and playing the blame game on everyone but themselves. In other words, the ultimate pity party.

HRC and company simply ran a poor campaign based on name recognition, as sense of entitlement, arrogance, a big state strategy, playing the race card (i.e. "white voters like me more"), reneging on FL & MI sanction SHE SIGNED, poor fundraising, mounting debt.

For all the bluster you spew on the blogs you HRC fans clearly haven't been putting YOUR MONEY where YOUR MOUTH IS. Is this how you HRC fans run your personal lives never taking responsibility for your own mistakes? What about rules and consequences or integrity do you have any for your kids or yourself or are they optional depending on the day…………just asking?

i thought she was only looking at the electoral college? So why does Puerto Rico count? Or was she just looking for an excuse to throw down a few more drinks?

And to the Hillary supporters, stop with the "Hillary or McCain" nonsense. it's just plain stupid. Put McCain in and then explain to your children and grandchildren why you saddled them with a war to not only fight but to pay for as well because under mcCain, the rich will continue to get tax cuts and the rest of us will have to pick up the tab. As stated that tab is pain in dollars and the blood of our children. So go ahead and be stupid – just remember who you really have to answer to.

I will vote for Mccain or stay home.

17,000,000….. AND COUNTING … CHOSE HILLARY.. …FOR A REASON… BECAUSE 17,000,000 CHOSE WHO THE PERSON IS THE BEST CANDIDATE TO GO FORWARD TO GENERATE A REAL AND POSITIVE PATH FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.. ITS
CLEAR

Who really cares?? Does it really matter anymore?

To Obamabots:

When you ask if I will vote for Obama in Nov, I'll say the same thing Michelle Obama said when asked if she will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee: "I'll have to think about it".

Well, I thought about it…. My answer is no. I will vote McCain.

I'm not selling this country out a non-patriot.

Give me a freaking break.

Clinton=Bush

Thomas Jefferson talked about a majority of one being all that matters. After all the votes are counted, including Florida (both were on the ballot), and excluding Michigan (yes Hillary supporters, that was a truly flawed primary), Hillary will have won a majority of votes. However, she will not be awarded the nomination (again – sorry Hillary supporters, it's true). Thus, the will of the people (are you listening Nancy Pelosi, possibly the worst Speaker of the House in our history?) will be overturned due to convuluted delegate allocation rules. Get that Obamabots – the will of the people will be overruled. Enjoy it now, in November it all ends.

who cares if Clinton has a lead in Puerto Rico, or on the moon for that matter? if Puerto Ricans cannot vote in the general election, then why does it matter? And even if they could, it wouldn't change the outcome of the primary as the issue has already been decided. Clinton is so hungry for the White House that she would destroy the Democratic party in her attempt to get there. She needs to recognize simple math and get out now.

They are celebrating with the legendary Dominican beer "Presidente". At least I can't fault her taste in beer.

Great they can have her!

Dear 52 year old Baltimore CPA black woman. Hillary is hated by so many people that she cannot win the general election. The Republicans want you to think sh has a chance. They and most rational people realize her nagatives are too high, and people will cross party lines to vote against her. "Kool your jets" another woman will run again eventually…but not Hill.

Rise Hillary rise!
Run as independent candidate if DNC steals your nomination!
You will beat both
anti-American NObama and McSame!!!

Often times you can't see the Devil when you're looking at him or in this case HER ! (yes Obama can)!!!!!

I used to try to defend Bill Clinton. Now I have lost respect for him because of how he is fighting to get Hillary into office. He sees an opportunity to return to having White House Power again. It seems they will do or say anything to win. I don't trust either of them.

1) You just need to look back how the pools were wrong in the past not to believe these pools even for a second.
2) who cares about Hillary's double digit lead in PR, Obama has TRIPLE digit lead in the number of delegates so far – this game is over

"… be there for her" ?? Er, excuse me Bill, didn't you mean be there for the country? This election isn't about Queen Hillary, she lost weeks ago. Its about re-building the nation after 8 years of incompetence.
Get it right, Bill. Obama08

Hillary 08 , the smart choice for our nation

Every vote must count..

If Obama gets the nomination, say bye bye to the general election…

President Obama,

Please, please, be careful you choose a VP you can trust …in my mind that very very short list would include Colin Powell, Joe Biden, or Wesley Clark.

Healing a political party is not as important as healing a country and a world .

Making an error here may obliterate all you have accomplished which has been spectacular and amazing.

You are not only our Candidate for change, but our only hope for restoration !

From a genuinely concerned 60 year old white male under $40K income with two eyes, two hands, two feet, and a burdened heart for America !

God Bless & Protect You, Mr. President

Hillary knows its over ..she just has so much vanity that she wants to have the record books show it was close…
As if nobody noticed..LOL

1.) She wants to loose by the smallest margin possible. [legacy]
2.) She wants to collect more contribution$ from her "Hard working people, white people" in order to reduce her Debts as much as possible and maybe even keep the change..:)

Thats All Fowlks..:P

If she admitted there was no chance, then why would anyone Contribute anymore MONEY..? Hello….

Its HILLARYIOUS to me that she is USING her beloved poor white followers for her personal gain…

HA HA HA HA HA HA LMAO..!!

I am astonished at how many Americans are actually listening to, and believing the Clintons. It really shows that we are in a very fragile time in our country. She can run until the last vote is counted in the last primary, on the last day, of the last month of this whole thing and the only thing she may be winning, and I repeat, MAY BE, is the popular vote. Somebody needs to tell her that that's not how her/our party picks its nominee. If she can't stand the heat, she's the one who should stay out of the kitchen. If any of her supporters reads this, no, I am not sexist. This is what she said out of her own mouth, about her opponent.

To Sam who thinks Barack Obama is a muslim. You don't read do you? He has never been a muslim and has been a Christian for over 20 years. Are you using this as an excuse not to vote for a man of color? Obama is a mixed race man who can speak on behalf of his white mother and grand parents who raised him and his African father whom he did not know very well.

HILLARY IT IS OVER !!!!! GO AWAY!!! OBAMA HAS THE ASME LEAD IN MT . AND HAS +200 LEAD DO THE MATH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE MAY HAS GOT IT!!!

Clinton only scores when she is with her drinking buddies. It won't help her!

Go Obama – President of the United States of America!

Hillary is just playing with their minds!!!She knows she can never win!!Let her enjoy running for… I don't what?!OBAMA 2008

Nancy Pelosi is pathetic. She needed to step in and start impeachment proceedings against Bush. She needed to end the war in Iraq. She needs to help find a solution to skyrocketing has prices.

She DOES NOT need to step in to end the Democratic process.

Someone needs to step in and vote Nancy Pelosi OUT of office.

I have been a Democrat since 1982 and will be switching my party affiliation to Independent thanks to luminaries such as Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, and Barrack Obama.

GO Hillary! Run as an Independent! Hope you win big in Puerto Rico this weekend!!!

Again – why is this such a celebration?

Puerto Rico isn't a real state and cannot vote in the General Election.

Furthermore, Sen. Clinton has made it very clear that the US has 50 states in which are counted. PR isn't one of them. Boo Sen. Clinton! Another contest that doesn't matter that she will try to spin up and say that it does.

Whatever.

SJM, Puerto Rico gets that many delegates because of the size of its population (not including the other 1.8 million+ in NYC).

Rob – it is a shame you feel that way. Our brave men and women have served our country and have represented our tiny island in every corner of the globe with honor and pride. What have you done for your country lately?

Hillary Clinton the smart choice 2008 and 2012!

If the Democrats ditch Hillary for the arrogant media and far left establishment anointed guy with Axelrod for a brain and a 26 year old speech writer for a mouth, they deserve to lose the general!

Democrat going Independent and voting McCain if Obama is the Dem. nominee!

If the Dems canabalize you as it appears they will, run as an Independent Hillary! The Dems are no longer credible or worth supporting.

TED (NC) The reason he "Can't put it Away" my friend is that he is running against BOTH HILLARY & BILL CLINTON and their political WASHINGTON Machine and Cronies as well as McCain. You need to ask yourself …WHY CAN"T HILLARY PUT AWAY??? She not only has Bill and the Boys throughout the country, Name Recognition , and at one time LOTS OF MONEY why can she not put it away against a relatively unknown candidate ….especially by now !!! You need to ask YOUR candidate…why hasn't she put it away ??? Her campaign is the biggest disaster since the Titanic !!!!

For those of you who think it's a good idea for Clinton to run as an independent, so do I. It will get her out of the Democratic Party. I sincerely hope she runs as an indy. Let's see, when was the last time an independent candidate won the election for president….ummmmmmmm…NEVER!!

Puerto Rico doesn't matter. Hillary can win 100% of the delegates, and she will still be behind by a considerable number (around 130).

For those of you who think Hillary is "more electable", I believe the majority of America disagrees with you. Obama has won more states, more delegates, more caucuses, the popular vote (no, you can't use Hillary's phyco-math), and more super delegates. The Repblicans are on the ropes. McCain is a straw man they've put up, because they know they're going down hard in November. Obama will not only probably win, but he will win by a significant margin. Even centrist Republicans are tired of their party pandering to religious righwingers. They'll swing across….

There are few points i want to make. I do not care who with who, I just want let you know who will real can win in white house. I feel Hillary doing anything she never give up. That is a good points, and also have bad point. She strong like a man, but she will keep frighting until she will reach her dream. I believe she will non-stopable and keep frighting… Maybe she will real will go in the white house. I never see a woman like her.

Puerto Rico, please read between the lines, don't get sucked in. Bring change for the good of us all.

one thing is clear. Their vote will non be counted in the GE. This is another group of hispanics who do not know what is best for them. They have all been brainwashed by the old ideas of words that will do them no good but will end up like their fellow hispanic brothers and sisters with no important say in the government.

"Hillary Speaks 4 Me"

The Democrats are more inclined to LOSE the general election come November if they have to go to the convention around the end of August.

And for what? Please don't play us for saps. Most of the Clinton supporters will that post here will NOT vote for Obama – you have made it quite clear. So clear to the point where Obama supporters are just gonna let you waste your vote away.

Now, if you weren't gonna plan to vote for him in November anyways once Hillary loses (and even IF it were to go to the convention, yes she would still lose) then it's an extra 3 months wasted!

Time to accept the envitable – Barack Obama will be the Democrate nominee, and if you don't like it…don't vote!

As for "Ted in NC" – Clinton was favored in Puerto Rico, so she's going to win. That's not Obama's fault. But since you want to throw around "why can't he close the deal" comments….

Hillary Clinton – BEFORE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION PROCESS WAS FAVORED TO WIN. HOW COME SHE COULDN'T CLOSE THE DEAL????

Because she lost. Taste good, don't it?

TO JOSH…

YOU ARE AN IGNORANT RACIST…AND YOUR REMARKS GOES TO SHOW THAT THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE OBAMA, JUST BECAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR….

ARE WE IN THE 21ST CENTURY OR WHAT!!!!

CNN,

can you please publish the letter Sen Clinton sent to Superdelegates yesterday? Or, is it confidential?

Hillary – I love you dearly and will always be grateful for all your wonderful work but please leave with dignity .

Everything that she does, he counters. What difference does it make if she wins Puerto Rico if she loses both Montana and South Dakota? There is no way that she catch up to him in any category. Besides, the primaries are based on who has the most delegates, not popular vote. Maybe, she can claim that she has more suits than he does, too. So? What does it mean? NOTHING!!!!! The only thing that matters in this race is delegates. She can argue all she wants about things that don't matter. How can she even argue about being more electable if her own party doesn't want her to be President? If the Democratic party wanted her, well, she would've won the primary.

they don't understand english so It's very easy to lie and get away with it ,but they would understand had Hillary won ,and went on to be president. She would have continued the war and most of Geoge bush's policies ,that why Bill Clinton was paling around H. W. BUSH and making deals. ( YES OBAMA CAN)!!!!!!!!

Who cares? Puerto Rico are you kidding how much do they count? Let her have that it's her last victory if thats what you want to call it. LOL.
Bill boy is going around begging for votes for his evil wife. They want back in the white house so bad they are pathetic. This woman has done nothing but make a hugh mess out of this historical election. She has taken so much good from it and focused on her wants only. there is no way she can win this, there is no way she will be VP go home Hillary you are a poor excuse for a president.

Obama 08

it's funny how they can vote in the primary elections but not the general election. That's just plain wierd

TO: Hillary Speaks 4 me YOU LISTEN UP!!!!

OBAMA will have the nominiation next week there is no taking this to the convention Hillary has already made a fool for herself EVEN GOV. Rendell one of her staunch supporters said it is UNLIKELY she will win.

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL

if Obama is that good as some of claim he is, why can't he close the deal by winning Puerto Rico? I truly believe Hillary is more electable and the media is trying everything they can to push her aside.

Hillary Speaks 4 me.

STOP CRYING!

It seems Bill & Hillary Clinton have decided to give the RNC and John McCain a break and do their job for them. Bill & Hillary are single handedly trying to bring down the Democratic Party. It seems they have decided they must punish the Democratic Party in November for not giving in to their threats and demands to hand Hillary the nomination on a silver platter. The Clintons obviously feel they are more important than the Democratic Party.

SHARON MINNESOTA:
Are you really so ignorant? Yes, it is your business. But the USA are allover the world and have a very bad reputation (because they are allover the world). You think you are the most powefull country in the world. You think, your president is the leader of the free world.
THATS WHY PEOPLE FROM ALLOVER THE WORLD ARE WAITING FOR OBAMA.
And yes, English is not my first language. It is the fourth. How many languages do you speak? Yes, tought so….

CNN please! Just ones….

Because Puerto Ricans have paid dearly with blood in every war this nation has waived, a lot of the land was taken to build military facilities thru a hundred + years, historically speaking a partner in many fronts. We were given the American nationality at the beginning of the 1900's with full rights and participated in many conventions in both Democratic and Republican. WE ARE PROUD AMERICANS… We have the largest per-capita voters in the world according to the National Geographic Magazine. We take politics very seriously and the Senator from New York is our senator in many fronts. Race has NOTHING to do with because a high percentage of us are mixed. Hopefully the questioning of have we earned this will be put to rest and the hate will stop…

Sam, Josh, Newly Independent, and anyone else out there saying they will vote for McCain or write in Hillary – We need to unite behind the candidate who will not take away our rights through extremist Supreme Court justices, get us out of the Iraq, give us transparency in government after too much secrecy, and has a plan for the economy and housing crisis. McCain is not that person!!!

(2) questions for all democrats:

1. Will Obama receive the support from the HRC supporters?

2. Will the Clintons ever win back those democrats who were appalled by their tactics?

A 20% lead (60/40 split) gives Hillary 33 delegates and Obama 22. A whopping 11 delegate gain – still way too little and way too late.

This is the last you'll hear of PR since they are not allowed to vote for President in Nov.

Hillary supporters want no part of Pelosi's far left-wing MOVEON.ORG agenda.

to all the obama hippies who came out of the woodwork- keep your big mouths going and make it easier for Clinton supporters to stay home or vote for McCain

Go Hillary in 2012

Puerto Ricans should fool the polls and vote Obama! He was there for a week also.

2000 more delegates isn't going to help Obama in November!!

Take it to the convention HIllary!!

TO SAM…

YOUR IGNORANCE IS BLISS…..AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN…..

OBAMA WILL WIN AND HE WILL BE A CHRISTIAN PRESIDENT….

STOP WITH THE MUSLEM RHETORIC…IT'S NOT WORKING!!!

As a Clinton supporter, I have to acknowledge the end is near. For those Obama supporters who think that the Democratic party has been divided because of Hillary, think again. Apparently, you all know nothing of how the political game is played and are hypocrites. Obama is no better. If you think for one minute that his ideas that he pictches are going to fly, forget it. The Democratic pary will dictate policy. Obama is slowly going to find that out. It is all politics, change or not. The general election will be no popularity contest. It is winner take all. It is all electoral votes not delegate.. That being said, he will lose without the help of Hillary on his ticket. She is the master at bringing her fold together. Obama is an elitist. He does not know how to touch people. His rhetoric will not work in the general election. I will however say this. I am a Democrat and will vote for Obama if he is the eventual nominee. I really don't think, however, he will win. The guarantee victory is a Obama/Hillary ticket and the DNC knows it. There is too much at stake to throw an Edwards or any one else as a running mate. Come November 4th, wilhout Hillary, get ready for a Mcain era and more soldiers dying, along with who cares about our economy.

I am a Hillary supporter. Can someone tell me that last time the Presidency was won by a candidate that was out spent by his/her opponent? There are a lot of flaws in the election process that will hopefully be addressed before the next election. For instance, since I live in a state where caucuses were never a big deal, most voters did not realize the importance. In my state Hillary won the popular vote but Obama ended up with more delegates because of the caucus. This makes no sense to me. Voting should be one person, one vote. The caucuses gives two (or more) votes to some people. I do not blame Obama has won playing by the rules set up by the DNC and has proven that he is "just like any other politician". Although, he is not the most qualified person, he will be the nominee. As a life-long Democrat, I think it is important that we get back to one person, one vote before the next election. Also, elections should not be bought. and there should be limits on the amout of money that candidates can spend. We are the party that always complains about the poor and poverty, however, our candidates have spent a fortune applying for a job. I am extremely disappointed with the entire process (especially the Florida, Michigan fiasco) and will not be voting in the General election. There is NOTHING Senator's Obama or Clinton can do to change my mind and I think the Obama supporters do not reflect the message of unity and change that he speaks about.

Hillary Clinton is the best hope for our nation and for Puerto Rico and all Latinos. Lets get behind her and get the rest of the people out to vote for her. Go Hillary !! Mary from Sarasota, FL

Good for you Porto Rican!

What a great idea to support a LOSER! Go ahead.

Right one Mrs. Clinton.

Ain"t over until the (Fat Woman Sings)

It is about time we have a Woman President.

Sorry Obama, If you are the winner I am voting for Mc Cain.

Clinton -08!!!!!!!!!

good thing she will not win this nomination. let all the numerous problems Bush will leave behind fall on Obama, and then we shall see how capable he is.

the DNC has done nothing but divided this country. democrats have 2 weak choices. this has become a circus. so here we are, older dems voting : just close your eyes and pick below the names of the two main candidates. 'cause there is no other choice.

beautiful!

Hillary, a true Goddess, and our next President Go Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that is true.
And Obama has a 15% lead in both Montana and South Dakota…so your point is what exactly?

43 Delegates and 5 more days to go.

There's my girl, making sure that every voice is heard!

We knew that months ago that she would win by large numbers but also know that its not enough to catch up with Senator Obama.

Awesome. Between these last few primaries and the DNC changing the rules this weekend, she will win the nomination!!

Nice work Hillary, you did it!!!

Hillary '08

Ricky Martin sings for Hillary…
That's my gold standard….I think i'll start campaigning with
James Carville now…

SHE STILL LOSES SO WHO CARES… AND LIKE YOU SAID CNN– THESE POLLS WERE TAKEN BEFORE THEY CAMPAIGNED THERE. SO UPDATED YOURSELF IN A FEW DAYS .

Wow. Happy hour's over, Hillary. Time to go home. Don't drive.

Puerto Ricans are dumb if they are fooled by Hillary. She cares nothing for you. What has she done for Puerto Ricans in New York (where almost half of Puerto Ricans live)? Are schools better for your kids? Do you have better wages? Seriously, Puerto Ricans need to wisen up.

Hillary has a very large piece of baggage…Bill Clinton. A congressionally proven liar and cheat. Her nagatives no doubt stem from the overwheliming majority of voters who don't want him anywhere near the Whitehouse. It makes no difference whatsoever, who wins Puerto Rico, they are a non-issue. Both Clintons are bent on making decades long ruin of the Democratic party, simply in order to win and satisify their egos. Not a very good trait for a president.

She is in it for a good time, not a long time.

Go Hillary…. How typical….. Lick it, Suck it, Slam it !!! When in rome do as the romans do !!! Please go away.

i have all the confidence on the Puerto Rican people.
they will not fall for the 'ElPresidente' photo op's, …
Her brand of divisive politics, pitting groups and being on your side until she gets your vote won't hold water.
Puerto Ricans in New York will have advised their family of the real Hillary.
Besides Puerto Ricans know the game is over, it is politically more meaningful to vote for the President to be than for the second place candidate who has no chance to win.

Oopps…I forgot to mention..

POPULAR VOTE IS NOT HOW THE NOMINEE IS SELECTED..

SHE KNOWS THIS!! So it does not matter…

Next week about 40 Superdelegates are going to endorse Obama and it WILL BE OVER!!!

Two questions – 1) Why does Puerto Rico have 55 delegates when they're (the people) are not allowed to vote and 2) Why do we have to look at Hillary drinking (again)?

Well, it looks like she's got the alcoholic vote nailed down. Makes sense, since you'd have to be drunk to vote for her at this point.

I am looking at the picture and completely convinced that this woman is sick. Unstable, shameless, lying, unnatural, fake… what else.? Finally it is ashamed for our country to have this kind of person even as a candidate for President. It is ashamed for USA that this couple was in power in this country for 8 years. We are better than that.

God bless America!

Does anybody really care at this point! Enough already, just go away………………………………………………..

Hillary Speaks 4 me – what are you on about? This woman has lied and twisted everything herself – Did the media miss quote her on sniper fire? Did the media miss quoter her on RFK, Did the media miss quote her when she produces Math that discounts the votes of Caucus states, becuase they don't go her way? No – this is your opinion that they don't work – and it's down to the DNC to decide how and when they elect their nominee, it's not down to a candidate to decide what works and what doesn't!

Hillary lies to you, you scares you with campaign ads about the phone rining at 3am – she panders to you with Gas Tax cuts that the GOP is pushing – she flip flops, says one thing and next week goes back on it.

Don't tell Obama supporters to get a grip when you clearly are brain washed by her spin and lies!

Just for Josh and Sam:

su_k my pubes you racist biggots!

It is to be expected; just like here in WV, Bill, Hillary and Chelsea toured the whole state bringing up sentiments against Obama while Obama was busy positioning fo general election. The only sad thing is that this bitterness they (especially Bill) are creating now will hurt the Dems come November; and that will be the end of the Clinton legacy. No one excuse them for sowing such amount of discord in the name of fighting for the nomination.

But with McCain and the GOP attacks focussing on Obama, I do not expect him to be in Puerto Rico stumping against Clinton.

Go Hillary. If the DNC and media manage to steal the nomination from you, I will be voting for McCain. I'm also getting all my friends and family here in the "swing" state of Virginia to vote Republican in the Fall if Obama is the Dem nominee. Good luck in the GE, folks.

if mccain or hillary win this election, i am moving to europe. who's with me?

america is coming to an end with them, i can already see it.

obama 08

SHORT NEWS FLASH…PUERTO RICO WILL NOT….I REPEAT…..WILL NOT SELECT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE..

THIS RACE IS OVER and has been since the INDIANA Primary…

HILLARY needs to get a GRIP and realize that she LOSS….

4 more days and it WILL BE OVER….

Here lead in Puerto Rico is pure name recognition. Which is the only reason she won FL and MI. Some PR voters don't understand how a unknown like Obama could qualify for president.

From all the hate from Obama supporters towards Hillary and her supporters.
He will loose in November.
People will vote for the party and the candidate that looks at them as important.
If Obama and HIS supporters talk about Hillary and her supporters like they do on all these blogs. He will not win. Enough or Hillaries supporters will vote for McCain or not vote out of spite for Obama and his HATE FILLED SUPPORTERS.

Now let em hear from Obama nation how stupid Hillary ad her supporters are for not voting for Obama.
Lets hear the love from them I mean HATE

Even if she wins PR with double digits she is still losing the nomination, Obama got 44 delegates to go before clinching the nomination.

Obama 08 !!!!!!

Hillary has won more primary's and has more votes, Obama has won more caucases but we dont have those when we vote for president because its not a valid way to vote, so hillary should be the one

Sam, you are a shame to your country. God is a lie, just like Hillary.

Hillary, Where is my tax break on gasoline as promised by you and McCain? Memorial Day is over but still no tax break on gas. Was not just BS?

I'm not worried about her winning by 10 pts in, the race is over. The people of Puerto Rico do not even get to vote in the general election.

Now there is talk that she going to take this fight to the convention. This woman is crazy and is on a power trip. She thought it was going to be easy riding on her husband's coat tails to the White House. Man, was she ever wrong. Now she is ticked off that it didn't go her way.

strange everyone jumping on the hussein thing with barack. want something from the christian bible ? mc Cain scottish roots means son of Cain. Cain, for you retards who dont know your own religion, but kick another that you know nothing about, killed his brother in the book of Genesis and became the first murderer. Mc Cain the great warmonger who is happy for stealth bombers and cruise missiles to obliterate Iraq night after night……..imagine your twin towers every day for a month…..then he wants your army to stay to help the Iraqi people. WHAT? He has blood on his hands and the mark on his head will be there for everyone to see. OBAMA 2008………Scottish supporter

It does not matter.

Hillary will win in november, Obama will lose and those are the facts

GO BABY GO!!! YOU'RE ABOUT TO WIN 6 OF THE LAST 8 PRIMARIES.

HELLOOO DNC AND OBAMABOTS …..ARE YOU LISTENING???????????

Looks like Hillary finally found the love she was so yearning for.

I've tried to be nice, but can't hold back any more. Anybody that thinks that MI and FL delegates should be seated is a moron.

Mario….
There are a whole lot of low IQ's on this blog!!
Certainly many who've not bothered to weigh the differences between capitalism and socialism–and the merits of a credible resume for the position of President.
Thank God…Americans have somehow overcome crappy Presidents–we survived Nixon, Carter, Clinton, and Bush Jr…..now we've got to test our mettle surviving the socialists regime of Obama.
Sad…our founding fathers are probably turning in their graves—and farting.

last I heard SD was an even race….Hillary 08

I read that voter turnout may not be at the level that the Clintons think/want it to be because Puerto Ricans generally don't like politicians coming over and making a bunch of promises and then never addressing them once in office. Considering the fact that the Clintons have blanketed the island for the past week, they may be shooting themselves in the foot. I think she'll win, mainly because she is the Senator in NY which has about 1milion Puerto Ricans in her district but it's not like this will come as a surprise.

Obama '08

To :Sharon Minnesota May 29th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

"An observation: Some of the posts here are sounding so illiterate that I'm pretty sure they are coming from people who's English could be their second language."

It is surprising that you claim English as your first language and yet you don't know the difference between who's and whose. The above should be "whose English.."…."who's" is nothing but a short version of "who is".

Oh wow she has a lead in Puerto Rico would be amazing if Puerto Rico actually got to vote in the General Election lol.

Why is Clinton photographed drinking all the time? Is there an underlined problem the public is unaware of? Investigate THAT-CNN!!!!!

Who says that Obama is black? When you have been brought up by a white mother and white grandparents whattdo you get? A coconut.. white on the inside and a tan on the outside. I know that because I have a daughter who is the same.

i am a puerto rican and i don't like hillary clinton!!
i am gonna make empanadas with her!

Questions why are the super delegates endorsing Sen. Obama at this point and not going toward Sen. Clinton?

Hillary Speaks 4 me….First of all when your closest surrogates say something they are speaking on your behalf and for Hillary it is something that she would prefer to not say herself. I have seen multiple surrogates state that the caucus process is undemocratic and should not count. I have seen Hillary say that caucuses are not elections. The Clinton math on how they can win removes any popular vote from caucus states so I don't know how you can say she has not said they do not count. Actions speak louder than words. I think you need to do some homework and learn a little bit about your favorite candidate. She is not who you think she is. Start with doing a youtube search for Hillary uncensored to learn why she will be under Felony charges for illegal campaign fundraising. This is why she is so dead set on winning. It is her best chance to stay out of prison. If you choose not to and wish to be uninformed that is fine but you should then stop posting altogether.

A lot of inaccurate, misleading, or improper material on this string.

JC: Be honest, with all three upcoming it will be 7 of 15 for Hillary. Obama won Texas 99-94….and if you go back further she will only win 7 of the last 26 contests (27%). Her recent wins are primarily due to geography – the rust belt and Appalachia. Obama supporters are not scared of Hillary. We just understand that the longer this thing drags on, the better for McCain and the more money is being wasted on a contest that has been mathematically over for 2 1/2 months now.

Sharon Minnesota: Congratulations on being one of the most consistently ridiculous bloggers on CNN. As I strongly suspect that you are a member of Operation Chaos, let me tell you that Rush is still a big fat idiot.

Sam, who can't spell and can barely write – Sorry, I am an American, therfore I believe in the equality of the races and in religious freedom. Your facts are wrong, he has never been a Muslim. However, it would not matter if he was to any true American. Please read Thomas Jefferson's Virginia statute for religious freedom. It is the basis for our Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Take your hate somewhere else.

Ted (NC): Obama IS putting her away. The DNC has never been controlled by Obama or his supporters. Terry McAuliffe, Hillary's campaign manager and former DNC chief, was primarily responsible for both the primary schedule (tailor made for a candidate with huge name recognition, funds, and organization, i.e. Hillary, to put the nomination away on Super Tuesday) and also for the sanctions against Florida and Michigan.

WHO CARES??????????

AND GIVING PR MORE DELEGATES THAN OREGON, KENTUCKY OR WEST VIRGINIA IS INSANE !!! WHY LET THEM INFLUENCE THE NOMINATION PROCESS (more than US citizens!!) WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION???

HOW STUPID CAN THE DNC BE ???

Reference this comment from this guy —

JOSH May 29th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

GO HILLARY. PUERTO RICANS ARE LOYAL not LIKE BLACKS……………remember it was the blacks who sold themselves to the white man.

————————————end of statment————————————

If that wasn't the most ignorant statement I've ever read in my entire life time..I don't know what is. Matter of fact….I think I'm even dummner for reading it… and I apologize for making everyone else who may have just read it…dummer by including it in my post.

Josh…..what the hell have you been smoking? "Blacks sold themselves to the white man,."….. Maybe you should go back to elementary school and read about slavery and who perpetauted it…. According to you everything 99.9 % of us have read and been taught is a lie… "Blacks sold themselves to the white man"…. Josh you are a magnificent idiot; a by product of Bush failed "No Child left Behind" educational program…Please will somebody else hit this guy, my hands are getting sore…

It is comments like Josh's that tell me that this country has a long way to go with regards to race and gender relations. As a people, we need to insure that displays of public idiotcey are repudiated by those who know the truth. I'm not going to grandstand on this issue….but I do believe that this primary election has brought out the worse in our people…and I only pray that we can come together after the convention; for the future of our counrty and children depends on it…

Did she "inhale" the beer? What a goof, hang it up already Hillary.

Hey, Sharon Minnesota – if you want to complain about the spelling or grammar of other bloggers, it would be really excellent if you learned the difference between "who's" and "whose." Thanks.

Hillary can be president if she will leave the bombed-out democrat party and run as an independent. She has far and away more supporters than Obama.

Josh you are an example of white idiot.

it was the spanish vote that sealed the deal for bush the second time…and i'm not being racist, cuz my husband is hispanic.

Hillary Clinton could still win by 30-40 pts in the late contests. That says something about Obama. He wins with African American votes. African Americans are mostly democrats, so where will Obama find more votes? There will always be more women in GOP for Clinton. So, do the math!

Here's to you, Barack, Cheers!!!

Well, if she plans to steal this election I will not be voting. Her actions are not democratic. It is unfair to not count the caucus states in her popular vote argument as well as discredit the uncommitted votes in MI. This is double speak and she does not care about disenfranchising voters. She only cares about her own votes and states she has won. That is not the definition of a democracy. I am infuirated with Hillary and her supporters. She is a hypocrite because her campaign manager Ickes created the rules for the primaries and voted to strip MI and FL of their delegates. This is overlook by her supporters. From the beginning, Hillary and her supporters have been trying to stop the democratic process by crowning her the presumptive nominee before any of our voices was heard. Her supporters did not have a problem with the superdelegates when over 200 endorsed Hillary prior to the primaries. Her supporters did not have a problem when Hillary agreed to the MI and Fl terms and her statement that the she would receive the nomination by feb. 5. This double talk of Hillary and her supporters are hypcritical. They have a sense of entitlement as though their voices are more important than the rest of us. Now their candidate is losing they are crying wolf. This is why we need to turn the page from people who believe they are entitled to something. Her supporters are mistaken that if Hillary steals this election people will just vote for her. You are wrong. I and others will not vote. I hope her supporters are enough for her to win the election. You have successfully divided the party with your gutter tactics.

Keep drinking, Hillary!

I would not want anybody with Hillary's character to run anything that affects me in any way – let alone this country!

Clinton and McCain voted to send 4000 Americans to there death!

THE MEDIA LET THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DOWN BEFORE THE INVASION OF IRAQ. NOW THEY ARE LETING US DOWN AGAIN BY NOT FOCUSING ON THE REAL ISSUE HERE!

1.In my opinion Dick Channey is the main culprit here; he pressured the CIA to come up with false and misleading rational to invade this country! Every time the CIA could not verify that Saddam Hussein had WMD’S, he told those involved that information was not good enough. Dick Channey should resign immediately from the Vice Presidency or Congress should start a formal investigation with hearings just like they did in the Water-Gate investigations.

2.The MEDIA has to remember here a crime was committed pure and simple. We have to remember that over 4000 Americans Solders have died unnecessarily in this conflict. Over 30,000 more have had there lives changed for ever with causalities.

3.Further John McCain, Hillary Clinton as well as the other members of Congress should apologize to the American people for there votes to allow this tragedy to happen. Those in Congress can redeem there creditability with formal hearings and pressuring Dick Channey to resign.

4.Those families that have lost loved ones in this war should compensated for the lost of there loved ones. Further, those that have suffered causalities should be receiving compensation also.

5.The MEDIA should have done substantive investigating pre-invasion of Iraq. Checked the information the White House putting out and verified the sources. The Media today has lost its way. Back in the 60’s, 70’s and even in the 80’s the MEDIA did not back down from White House pressure. Now they are easily intimidated by FOX News, Right Wingers and the current administration!

Man she is hitting the bottle lately, I feel sorry for Bill his life is going to be a living Hell after she is kicked out of this race .

LOL – John McCain is not a moderate!

He used to, but has sold himself to the conservative party to stay in line!

He does not care about average Americans. So remember that when your jobs are getting shipped overseas under NAFTA, The wealthiest of Americans get their Bush tax cuts while the rest of us feel the squeeze paying for gas, groceries, healthcare and education for our children. The defficiet rises, the war continues for Bush's FAILED policies in Iraq.

VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Hillary should chalk up another easy win in Puerto Rico, and hopefully the people in South Dakota and Montana won't be fooled by Obama's TV ads. He'll outspend Hillary by a wide margin, but she'll keep it close and WILL win the overall popular vote total in the end.

I think she got ways to lie more but stil she is a losser
I think Hillary's families have no real freinds who might tell them how much the majorty of American especially those beleive in equalitiy hate her.

go ahead cnn.post joshes racist comments ,but,not my non-racist comments?you folks are getting bad promoting this kind of hate.shame!…………please post this….nothin' but luv for ya…..

Who cares!!! I my father is puerto rican and I can tell you that about 85% of puerto ricans don't even like dark skined puerto ricans so what makes you think that they would vote for a black man. I'm shocked that Hillary isn't leading by a wider margin. This race is OVER the rest of these primaries are just for show.

To Hill:

Sorry its too little to late.

Three More Superdelegates Endorse Obama

Three superdelegates have come out to day endorsing Barack Obama: Pat Waak from Colorado, Meredith Wood Smith from Oregon and Ben Pangelinan from Guam.

this is about male vs female. obama is not black and he managed to convince 98% of AA to vote for him. he was raised by his white grandmother and who knows who else. this guy jumped on the i'm black bandwagon and has been allowed to use it to his advantage. he has influenced the AA community and neither he nor his unproud wife really supports the AA community. This guy has no idea how to run a state let alone an entire country. i don't want someone with his lack of experience making decisions for me. i'm not in particular favor of either candidate but he has the least of my support. we are in a world of trouble is he gets the nomination. we lose either way.

Good Job Hillary! If you can somehow bends the rules such that you can win 3 more contents by double digits, then you will be almost halfway to the number of double-digit wins Obama has.

Too bad Puerto Rico can't vote in the general, though I know you want to change that.

By the way how is my "gas tax holiday" coming that you promised in time for Memorial Day weekend?

Because Puerto Ricans have pay dearly with blood in every war this nation has waived, a lot of the land was taken to build military facilities, historically speaking a partner in many fronts. We were given the American nationality at the beginning of the 1900's with full rights and participated in many conventions in both Democratic and Republican. We have the largest per-capita voters in the world according to the National Geographic Mag. We take politics very seriously. Hopefully the questioning of have we earned this will be put to rest and the hate will stop…

Why the people of PR believe anything she tells them is beyond me. She will say anything, do anything, to win their votes, then she'll forget them when the next state is in play. They should send her home!

Give it Up! It over. The people has spoken. Hillary has lost it. Do you really want Hillary running this county? During the primary she has given the American voters an example of her behavior. She is not the best chose.

Big deal. So she'll win 35 delegates to his 20. How much longer is she going to continue beating that poor, dead horse

CNN, you should have step in and stop the madness of the GOP and the HRC!. I am so tired of the ignorance from these 2 parties. Please allow Hillary to become an Independent so that would split the vote with her and McCannot. OBAMA is not going to be hurt. I know the end ot the story. GOD wins!

She sure likes her booze.

Obama '08

The only thing she keeps up Double is the double intoxication from all the alcohal she been drinking with her White, close minded friends. Obama has everything to be our next president. Be silence or change your party and Join Mc Cain, cause this party is all about change and bring about changes to white house. So, if you want 4 more years of Bush, then go head choose Mc Cai, cause this race is past over for Clintons. Accept your lost with respect and help democrates to win this election, otherwise be silent and let us, The Democratic Party, do our job and win this election with a huge landslid that is awaiting us in future soon. I kow it be hard for you hard, long supporters of Clinton to accept this but we all did a great job in this race, both side. However on every game there must be a winner and looser, and well all know who has the majority of popular votes, supperdelegates, and pledge delegates, so lets unite behind him and march forward with one clear messgae. No more Bush or Bush Jr., or Bush Puppet(Mc Cain. Lets end this while we have time to fight againest close minded Republican who Still Support Bush and Mc Cain.
Obama 08

Wooooooo… Hillary Gone Wild!

Is that the secret to the Clinton Math, heavy drinking?

Oh God, please help me. Just seeing a photo of the Hellary-Beast makes me want to vomit!

What crime could Sen. Obama commit that would derail his candidacy?

gabe in Texas said "I hope Hillary will consider running for Pres on the Independent Ticket. She would win by a landslide. People from all political corners of the country are pulling for her; repubs, dems, and indes alike."

Is he just nuts or have the supporters of Hillary totally lost touch with reality? Gavbe more FACTS (I know they are anathema to Hillary supporters but we can keep trying cant we?) Hillary cannot get 50% of the DEMOCRATIC voters, which means she has less then 25% of the total voters, (since regestered Dems and repubs actually account for 60% of total voters combined that number is closer to 15% but I will give her the benefit of the doubt). Now lets take a look at Republicans and Independants voting for her. Most republicans HATE the word Clinton, maybe oyu do not remember the hatred spewed in the90s but I sure do, this hatred has not gone away, repubs MAY be voting for her now but that is simply because they want the dems to be in the turmoil they are in right now, it give McCain more of a chance. As for indes going for clinton, aint going to happen, most independants support mccain of clinton so, if she went "independant" (and where would she get the money to da that from I wonder) she would, at best get 30% of the votes, not nearly enough for a landslide, nor is it enough to say she could win (and I am being extremely gracious giving her that high a count). But in Hillary math I guess that IS a landslide.. moron Clintonistas!

Congratulations Mrs. Clinton on your big upcoming win in Puerto Rico!

Of course, your opponent ,Senator Obama, will have the required number of delegates to win the nomination by next week, so I hope you enjoy this last big 'victory'.

Hope you stick to your word and throw your support behind the Democratic candidate for president. Not really holding my breath though since 'keeping your word' doesn't seem to be a concept you understand.

Go Hillary!!!!!!

WE SUPPORT YOU!!!!!!!!!

NEVER OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because Puerto Ricans have pay dearly with blood in every war this nation has waive, a lot of the land was taken to build military facilities, historically speaking a partner in many fronts. We were given the American nationality at the begining of the 1900's with full rights and participated in many conventions in both Democratic and Replublican. We have the largest per-capita voters in the world acording to the National Geografic Mag. We take politics very serouisly. Hopefully the questioning of have we earned this will be put to rest and the hate will stop…

This proves that elections are not won because of the issues or even the politicians. They're won by the media. Atleast that's what FOX and CNN are hoping. The media has fallen in love with Barak Hussein Obama without even knowing his full plan of action. They lift him up so much that people forget to do their own research and put blind trust in the news they watch and read. This is why Hillary doesn't stand a chance within her own party. It's a toxic love affair with an inevitable bloody end.

I certainly do not want my daughter to see this photograph.

In the quest to get the presidency at ANY cost, Sen Clinton has forgotten how to behave like a lady!

Yes, I want a female President, but not Sen Clinton.

To Hillary speaks 4 me- Bill Clinton would not have been president without caucus states which Hillary was happy with then. As a person who had to take the time to vote this way, It is not respectful for her to change her opinion now.

To Josh:

You are one of those bigots that probably looks as stupid as you sound. No historian on this earth will tell you that Blacks sold themselves into slavery. Grow up and mature and then you might be able to write something meaningful.

Puny – that's what this is. PR reduces Obama's delegate lead by 7 . . . while two days later MT and SD increase it by 4. None of these swings matter, given that Obama currently leads by 198.

It's a shame. If the tables were turned and still this close.. I gaurantee you Obama would still be in… just like she is… hoping for a technicality or for the opposition to slip up so bad they are pushed out by the Super Delegates….

But…. the bottom line is.. She isn't going to get it. We are going to get a green politician for the most powerful executive position in the world. And for all his inclusive talk.. look at how he ran his campaign in Chicago.. getting his primary competition taken off the ballots using hired lawyers to invalidate their petitions with stuff like 'the name is printed not signed'. Sound familiar? Like something our current desperate second place candidate would do, if she could. (of course)

So get off yer high horse, O supporters… he's just another politician, and a green one at that. I sure hope he doesn't turn out to be another Jimmy Carter (great guy… polar opposite of Nixon) … likeable guy with heart in the right place but lousy executive. AND THAT is the reason, I care…. I'll vote for the guy, but I would have preferred someone with out all the fluff if they can't back it up.

It is sad to see how many have turned so viciously against the once reigning Democrate Royal Clintonian Family! There is no loyalty left in the world.

I don't understand. If PR can not vote in the general election what does it matter? She can not and will not win. Please Clintons go on a vacation for at least 6 months or more. Obama will call Hillary when he is putting his cabinet together.

People for Obama will blame HRC for his loss in November.

SAM:

You are an ignorant FOOL!

It DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY CAUCUS VOTES HAPPEN OR BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL STATES OR A SMALL PERCENTAGE! We voted!

So if "every vote counts", then so do we!

Don't cry out disendfranchising FL and MI and in the same breath DISENFRANCHISE caucus voters. It's unfair and undemocratic. period.

Sam, you're right I totally agree with you!!

It'd be the greatest SHAME to America, having a president related in blood to our enemies.

Mario, because of you and people like you, our country is going to be full of shame if Barack is elected!!

So yes…

God Save America from Obama

Who cares? Hillary please leave us alone ! I hate your evil smile.

I find it interesting that some obamabots object to Hillary having a beer when their guy Obama did drugs to "find himself"

So this is where the bigots congregate. Thankfully, the majority of Americans are good people and have moved beyond the small minded bigotry of some. These few loudmouthed bigots that spew are not helping Sen. Clinton's cause at all. Makes you wonder if they are truly supporters of her, or just here to hurt the Dems.

Since she insists on quoting Rove, I will quote Cheney – SO!

Obama '08 / '12!

Yes Bill?
Well Bill?
So..Why wern't you a Genuine Partner in the White House?

You & Billary had 8 Long years to do something for Puerto Ricans.
And… you did what for Puerto Ricans?

I hope they're memories haven't escaped them like all the other lower educated and lower income followers have.
I hope they remember that You Bill, made the same promise as Billary of Statehood…
But I guess you got to the oval office and those Interns distracted you with the Cuban Cigars and you even forgot the condoms..
So not much of a chance for The poor Puerto Ricans…

The Obamaniacs really amuse me. Do they realize that every time they post these hate filled comments about Hillary, who is winning at least half (and arguably more) of the votes in this primary, they only make greater the chance of Obama's defeat in the general election? How is it acceptable for these voices of so-called change to spew misogyny and hate so easily? Furthermore, he can't win without actually winning- shame on you for asking that the nomination be awarded to him on the basis of an equally strong candidate quitting. What are you all going to do with yourselves if she does become the nominee? I promise you as a former political insider that it is not only possible, but in fact probable. These super delegates are very concerned about the electoral map- don't think for one minute many of them are not quietly supporting her while trying to figure out how to do so without being accused of racism. One last thing- just because Nancy Pelosi says she will step in certainly does not mean that she will do so in favor of Obama- have you ever considered that she may support nominating the strongest candidate in the general? HIllary Clinton wins that categorization hands down. You all have much to learn about politics and America- I'm sorry that it may happen the hard way for you.

Fl and Mi act like two naughty kids crying for their penalty from breaking rules.
COME ON!
YOU BREAK THE RULES! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND DEMOCRAT ALSO NEED RULES?!

So what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I drink a lot of beer too, but usually I don't show it off.

hillary you are harmong urself ,as well as the party
if u love america,you would gib=ve them a chance to get better
u are stalling this country

sharon in minnesota -e1 knows you're a limbaugh chaos nut.quit claiming you are a 30 year democrat and go blog on fox.they like you over there.

Too bad she can't win in the United states.

Sharon Minnesota:
For someone who claims to be an American, I guess your English is not so good either. Please read your own post and correct the grammar…

This primary season is over for Hillary.

Thank you for coming.

TO Hilary Speaks for me:

YOU are ridiculous and need to get a grip! Hilary has said repeatedly that the caucus votes don't matter, especially the ones she lost to Obama.

A lot of Obama supporters blow my mind. I've never seen such blind hatred in my life. You really shouldn't complain about Hillary supporters not voting for Obama or voting for McCain as all you do is throw pety insult after pety insult at a candidate, pretend like Hillary has never done a positive thing in her life (although judging by childish insults, overuse of capitals, and immature tone I doubt many of the posters were old enough to fully experience that wonderfulness that was the first Clinton Presidency), and then say that anyone who supports her is either stupid or racist or both. Obama will get destroyed in the GE without a very high level of support from Hillary voters, so if you want you candidate to be more than another McGovern, smarten up, and be respectful.

Sue parker,
Look at the post right above your original one.

I guess your whole argument is garbage.

Hillary is very sad. Go home. Puerto Rico is NOT the road to the White House unless you use Clinton math. She is pathetic.

Hey Hillary Speaks 4 Me:

You say, "EVERY SINGLE WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS IS EITHER TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR TWISTED TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE."

But what about sniper fire in Bosnia? Haven't you watched the footage, seen the reports, photographs, etc.?

Hillary doesn't only imply that caucus states don't matter, she says that any state that she's lost won't matter in the general election…including swing states. If she won the state, then the state is important. If she lost the state, it doesn't exist.

There's a grip you can hold on to! If you don't like the caucus system, then move to another country. I think it's great that those most involved in the political process are out there caucusing. It means that voters who know nothing about a candidate but her last name don't have too much influence on the election when they cast their misguided votes. Elitist? Maybe. But we're talking about the Presidency of the USA, not the local PTA chapter.

And as to this statement:

"There is a purpose for having a convention. It's an opportunity to determine a nominee in the event that there is not a clear winner OR if that winner is not who the majority of ALL the delegates ultimately feels has the best chance of winning the GE."

THERE IS A CLEAR WINNER WHO HAS THE MAJORITY OF ALL THE DELEGATES AVAILABLE AND THE POPULAR VOTE, AND BARACK OBAMA IS HIS NAME!!!

Thanks for your time, Hillary Speaks 4 Me. Now why don't you go out there and find a voice of your own!? Hillary didn't even find hers until she was in New Hampshire! (talk about inexperienced…)

It is undeniable that the Obama supporters are the ones who 1) express clear antagonism, almost hatry, towards Hillary and 2) do not care to unite the Democratic party.

In blog after blog, Obama supporters demonstrate, far beyond their choice of candidate, how much they HATE the Clintons. What a contradiction — the preaching philosophy of Obama voters versus their everyday actions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad for democracy….

Clinton WILL win the popular vote, but Obama will get the nomination. Goes to show how messed up the democrats primaries are. 20,000, mostly college kids, in an Iowa caucus have more power than almost 400,000 in a primary. So in the end, he's a technical loser of the primaries, and a real loser in November.

wow– she's ahead in a place that doesn't get to vote in november. fabulous.
and why the continued beer shots…i'm tired of explaining to my daughter why the first woman with a shot of being president has to seek out photo-ops with beer or whiskey in tow.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE………….
May 28, 2008.

Three superdelegates have come out today endorsing Barack Obama: Pat Waak from Colorado, Meredith Wood Smith from Oregon and Ben Pangelinan from Guam.

Yes…We..Can….

Obama has a triple digit lead for the Dem nomination…..

Sharon MN, I knew it!!! You blog as a Hillary supporter for months. But, you have always been a Republican. What happen to YOU GO Girl!!! LMAO

JOSH May 29th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

GO HILLARY. PUERTO RICANS ARE LOYAL not LIKE BLACKS……………remember it was the blacks who sold themselves to the white man.
—————————————————
VERY INAPPROPRIATE CNN!

I'am a white man in my 30's with four kids. I do not like Hillary, but i'll be damed if i will vote for anyone but a DEM. People put your pride to the curd and look at the big picture. Stop acting like children and think like professionals.

Joel, IL.

I feel bad that FL and MI were punished the way they were but the fact of the matter is, whether or not it is fair or just, the candidates agreed to the punishment. I would love to hear Hillary explain to the country why now, at this point, those states should be included and why she agreed to not include them previously. I think any answer she could give would show lack of presidential capacity–either she didn't know what she was signing–or she changed her mind (to suit her case).

I could imagine a golf match where all the players agree that you count all the strokes it takes to get the ball into the hole. But, Tiger seems to be having a bad day and he is missing his putts by about 2 inches so he says, why don't we just count the strokes it takes to get 2 inches from the hole or closer. I'm sure all the other players would agree to that change in the rules during the game–why shouldn't they–it would only be fair so that Tiger could win!!!

H.Clinton will be the President of US!

And We should modify the Consitution so that she can be a president for 3 terms! 4 terms! forever! My Queen of King!

To the ridiculous person that stated that Puerto Ricans and others are not voting for Obama because they are very "concerned" about him. You may have a point but it is a dumb point.

The fact is the Clintons have been around for about 35 years, Governor, President, Senator and a lot of people know them and love them. Obama is very new on the scene and a lot of people are confused about who he really is but once they get to know him, they will understand that he is a visionary man.

Also, if you're going to put forth your dumb idea, tell me why McCain is still only getting about 75% of the vote when he is already the nominee!. 25% of republicans are still voting for Huckabee, Ron Paul and soon Bob Barr so your argument falls flat in the face of that logic.

For Hillary, she thinks for herself first, then she thinks for herself, then she thinks for herself, ….

By the core definition of politics, is she really a politician, or a power monger monster?

Puerto Rico has 55 delagates and cannot vote in the general, while Montana and South Dakota have 15 delegates? Crazy stuff

Sorry but PR has no say in the general so who cares…
Some Latino's will vote for a white over a black because
they don't want to be at the bottom of that totem pole.

and anyone thinking Clinton would win as an independent needs to lay of the dranks…

If she can't win the Dem nomination she definitely wouldn't win as an Indie… she is broke!

OBAMA = CARTER = DUKAKIS = LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, and the latest polling data (averaged) shows Obama with a 2.7% lead over McCain and Clinton with a 0.7% lead.

And of course, don't forget that out of 53 contests held thus far (there are 56 — 50 states plus D.C., Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and Democrats Abroad), INCLUDING FL and MI, Obama has won 33, Clinton only 20.

How do you explain away those numbers, Hillary?

Clitnon is dumb.

Obama is smart.

'nuff said.

Nancy Pelosi should stay out of this. Hillary Clinton is a better candidate than Obama.

The democratic nomination is based on delegates because popular votes are not counted in most caucus states. Every previous nominee in the democratic party has won the pledged delegates. It's good to know that Hillary hopes to gain the meaningless popular vote lead with PR which can not vote in the GE and MI where Obama wasn't on the ballot.

It's amazing that the rules of the DNC primaries were great after Bill won and served two terms as president and while Hillary was winning.

josh, your just a dummy are't ya, GO HILLARY. PUERTO RICANS ARE LOYAL not LIKE BLACKS……………remember it was the blacks who sold themselves to the white man, so we sold ourselfs to the white
man. for what??? come on josh your a man aren't you? explain yourself, or do you have that much hate in you. PR"S are more loyal than the blacks? you are funny and a nut job

Hillary, the next President
with or without Democrats
It is up to them to decide

Hillary Clinton should ask her husband to respect her since he seems to be the utlitmate disrespecter of her. If nobody knows what I'm talking about what about Monica Lewinsky right under her nose, how much more disrespectful can you get? This race has got to end and Hillary Clinton it is time to GO!

Dear "Hillary Speaks to Me"… you listen up… you don't make sense. This is why… this is our system, if you want to change our system when it is all over then do that. But as of right now, YOUR CANDIDATE is LOSING in every category. So please "get a grip" as you said, move aside because you are wrong. This will be over before the convention because its stupidity. If she were the front runner, you would not be so accepting of your own statements. Its Over!!! Accept it and move on. in fact, her ratings are going down overall because people see her for who she is, divisive and a sore loser.

Hillary nice toast to a Obama victory

Speaker Pelosi,

Taking the fight to the convention will cause irreparable harm? How much damage will be done to the Democratic Party if it does not field its strongest candidate for the general election? How much damage will be done to the Democratic Party if its candidate loses in November?

Stop trying to interfere in the nomination process of the Democratic Party by making public comments like “the superdelegates should not overturn the pledged delegate winner.” Stop trying to bully the Party's leaders by announcing publicly how they should vote. The rules call for them to use their independent judgment.

Hillary Clinton has millions of supporters, and you are alienating them every time you inappropriately try to interfere in this nomination process.

Hillary Clinton has earned the right to take the fight to the floor of the convention. And if the DNC—as Governor Ed Rendell has recently suggested—is incapable of doing what is right for the voters of Michigan and Florida and what is expedient for it to do in order to win the presidency in November, i.e. to seat all of the delegates from Michigan and Florida so as to accurately reflect the votes of the people in those states either from the January primaries or from revotes, THEN I SAY SHE HAS AN OBLIGATION TO OUR PRINCIPLES TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE FLOOR OF THE CONVENTION.

In light of your continued and inappropriate use of public threats in your attempt to interfere in the nomination process, I think it is appropriate for Democrats to start publicly threatening you. If you continue to interfere with the nomination process any further by bullying the Party's leaders by telling them publicly how they should vote, then Democrats should vote against you as Speaker by voting Republican down the ticket.

The purpose of the exercise of going through primaries and caucuses is to determine which person is the strongest candidate to run in the general election, not for us to shoot ourselves in both feet by strapping ourselves to the weaker candidate. The Democratic Party cannot afford to gamble with the presidency this year or with the future of our country.

Let each automatic delegate determine for him- or herself which candidate is more qualified and stronger and more likely to win against John McCain.

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ’08

clinton can't hurt the dems party congress has already done that.
they have done Nothing since they took control of congress just as bad as repub. I am really stress because Obama and McCain both
are terrible candiates. For our country nothing is going to change.

I also think Tom Daschle is looking for a job that why he and edwards
are sucking up to Obama.

It doesn't matter. Puerto Rico can't vote in the general.

An observation: Some of the posts here are sounding so illiterate that I'm pretty sure they are coming from people who's English could be their second language. Very suspicious sounding Obama supporters coming from outside the USA. What have they to do with our election? This is an American issue. Since they have no vote they should have no influence in our democracy, especially when they purport to be one of us.

Like this person's phoney posting, who is this person, really?

THE fake PROPHETE May 29th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I do not think it matter
Obama is fighting Mc Cain and who is fighting Hillary?
Nobody a part from herself. The sup-Delg know what politic is.
they also see what Clinton is doing,
there are so scare of her destroying the party that they keep telling
good things about her. the true is SHE IS THE NIGHT MARE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. She is also destroying herself.

Let me predict this. Why Hillary loss? a documentary that will make Micheal More a lot of money.

By the way SHE WILL LOSE HER SEAT IN NEW YORK.

will vote for whatever democratic candidate is nominated but people should not ignore HRC arguments. If you think Hillary attacked Obama wait and see what the republicans do Truth is not a requirement for them to sling dirt. I have a feeling come november alot of u Obama supporters will be dissapointed because atleast if Hillary was nominated youd have a chance at seeing Obama as a VP and inevitable shooin for next presendency. Look at history the republicans are just waiting to attack Obama. Please people think about the big picture it is not yet Obama's time.

Okay that's why Hillary can't do simple math the #$%^ is drunk most of the time.

Sharon in Minnesota is an idiot. She posts EVERY day about how she'll never vote for Obama. We know, Honey… We know! I'm surprised to see you bashing your "Girl" though. Get a grip…

Why don't you join Bush in helping raise funds for your candidate?

Wake me when she's gone.

people are creazy voting for Obama, if Obama wins the White House is going to be the Black House.

she's bashing barack,again,in south dakota.supers!stop the madness!

Breaking News for CNN:

No one cares about Hillary anymore.

Uh…Hillary you are taking the "drinking thing" a little too far don't ya think?

If you aren't throwing back shots lately, you are sipping suds. Good grief.

The picture attached to this news item is hilarious. "Senate girls gone wild", anyone? LOL

Go Hillary!

You will be the President of the United States!

Keep fight!

People of PR will not support a looser…
They know that Obama will be the democratic candidate next week and they will hehlp make that happen
Yes we can

====who cares??=============

=======they cant vote in General Election=======

=============== what's up with her drinking lately???

and you want her as a role model for your daughters??!!!!

Befotre all you clintonistas start saying such wonderful things about this, whys should we care? According to YOUR logic these votes do not matter, they do not vote in the General Election and therefore should carry no weight in the Primaries right? Right.. more than likely we will hear how she is showing that she can win look at all these people voting for her, every vote should count.. stupid Clintonistas

so?she still lost.who cares?

Dear "Hillary Speaks 4 Me"

First, you are about 30 years behind in your Party Convention history and understanding. Conventions today are simply huge political rallies to springboard the last push of the general election. That is why these primaries and caucuses were added.

Second, the caucuses this year ALSO brought out record numbers of new voters this year, making your point mute.

Third, I think you need to find someone more worthy "to speak 4 you" and THAT is the final word or will be in about 5 days.

Sam I think that your IQ is very very low. Sorry for you

For Greg from NY..

…………….People like you are everywhere in the world; they sleep under the bridges and terrorise inocent people. Obama is not a Muslim but a very good, practising Xtian………….

………when last, Greg, did you enter a Church…so please keep your mouth under lock and key

Hillary talks about the pile of problems the new president will have. Well as I see it, Hillary is on the top of that "pile of Problems." The White House is already disfunctional and we've seen how disfunctional the Clintons are and why.

GREG IN NY

don;t you sound big.good god get a life

this is abt mi and fl.

if the other candidates were given a chance to campaign in mi and fl,there is a chance that they might have gone further in the race if their supporters voted and the votes were not revoked
why shld hillary be the only one to gain from this fiasco?
if she was a true democrat,she would have fought for them from the beginning

so,please you clinton supporters reason like human beings
hillbilly herself would deny u if she saw how much ignorance hyou all displayed
please do not be brainwashed.
hillary can never win the presidency when she cant even win the primary
she has 35 years of experience but she still canrt beat an "inexperienced" candidate.
how can she expect to beat a man who has over 50 years experience serving his country?
if you all go ahead to vote maccain because you do not like obama.
i will be happy to laugh when u and ur kids get drafted into the war with iraq,iran and any other country since you will be ruled by a warmonger,

i will also laugh when ypu end up jogging 10 miles to work every day
i would also laugh when you end up on the streets.
remember,the clintons will still have about $80million to have a great life.

so please,go on and vote for a mentally unfit woman and a warmonger.
goodluck,america
if you are that stupid.

Puerto Ricans only know of Clinton. That just goes to show you that not all people of "African Decent" support Obama. And there are some dumb people posting saying Barack is a Muslim and he doesn't have enough experience. That rethoric is flawed and incorrect. The man is no way near muslim. His name is arabic. He is also a Christian…. retards. As far as experience, the only experience Hilliary has is being the First-Lady. She has no presidental experience what-so-ever! Wow, some people are so dumb it's just not funny.

Of course she does, but who cares cause Puerto Rico can not even vote in the General Election, get it, they can't vote in the General Election. But notice how Clinton always gets the majority of votes in the states that harbour infididuals with little to no education, mineal employment and not to mention that she wins these states where there are still present deep routed racism and discrimination—Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohion, where people in these areas do not undrstand academia, foreign policy, and war ecomomics and the trickle down affects it has on the micro scale and then into your personal lives. But when she wants the uneducated vote, she always drinks alcohol and acts like she is a blue collar person, and then she leaves and gets in her jet and relaxes to the fact the she and Bill have over 100 million in thr bank and middle east oil investments. The country does not center around those states, this country needs to put asied their racial tensions and realize that if an African-American President will bring your son,daughter,wife,husband,friend or a lover one home from Iraq and then you have John McCain who is banking his campaign on keeping us over there, then who do you want as aPresident. I challenge Americans to not think about their racial differences, but think about our kids who are dying daily in Iraq, kids, kids, kids, 18,19,20,21,22,23 yearl old kids in land where some will never return home again. Do we need another 4-8 years of this bloodshed on a war that was a lie, and an administration that played on the fears of Americans and told lies constantly. Do you want a President who has lobbyist on his team that lobbied for the Saudi Royal Family and the JUNTA Government, this is what John McCain will bring to the White House. He will keep your loved ones in Iraq and they will die. I wish places like West Va, Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania do not vote for McCain who will send your kids to die. The youngest person killed in Iraq was 17.5 years old she was female from Texas—-think that could have been your child or friend.

Oba,a 08-12, he is the one who can unite this country and has, look at voter registration, look at the young people, look at 75,0000 white Americans coming to see him in Oregon—-Oregon, Iowa,Wisconsin, Colorado, Minnesota, Vermont North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina have shown us that race should not be an issue—–think about this. The IED's that are killing our troops don't care about what color they are, but we home bound Americans care about the color of the candidate and we are not even on the battleground.

Obama 08, all the way for 2 terms, get us out of this mess………..

Thank God they don't matter in the general election

The fat lady may not be singing quite yet, but is that humming I hear from Hillary?!?!

This is interesting, but it's too late! to be effective.

Why do you think that so many anti-American radicals and terrorists support Obama?

Only smart and educated people vote for Obama! Go figure! Stupid people should not get to vote since they can't tell right from wrong.

***Hillary Speaks 4 Me***

All very valid points and if this were a debating contest, you would win.

But, does it matter that waiting until the convention to have a candidate almost insures a Republican victory? She's already hurt our chances enough by comparing Obama to McCain unfavorably ("lifetime of experience" vs "a speech").

We can cling to a bunch of parlimentary technicalities or we can accept the inevitable and get going on the GE.

Dems '08

Why does PR get so many delegates?

"The survey was conducted May 8-20. Given the length of the survey time, it is possible it may not reflect the current views of Puerto Ricans since both candidates have visited the island since the polling began, and other recent developments on the campaign trail may have swayed voter's minds there."
___________________________

It doesn't seem that this poll can be very reliable. We'll see on Sunday!

HRC should be our candidate. She is most qualified. GO HILLARY!
I will be a Dem voting for McCain come November if Mr Flash-n-Sparkle Obama is the nominee.

And I just got a great sticker on eBay – "NObama – Keep the Change"! Goes on my vehicle TODAY.

I dont get it. I thought they could not vote in the GE. So why do they even have delegates, why does their populus vote count towards any US candidate if they have their own government and don't abide by our laws. And how do you say that thier votes count when we just had an Indiana primary where we had college student turned away for trying to use their student Id's. Lord know what type of Identification these people have if any. And we don't know whose voting over there. This just makes no since at all.

Obama 08

This election is not about race,gender,region or religion,its not about young versus the old,black versus the white,rich versus the poor but about future versus the past.Hillary's supporters keep amazing me about the experience.If it is by experience Maccain wins.But quickly with their so called many years of experience Bush still tricked them.So tell me where is the experience they are talking about.
OBAMA 08

Joseph May 29th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

In all seriousness. 6 days until Hillary drops out and goes back to the Senate with her tail between her legs.
=============================

If he wins…………………..I can't wait till November.

That's when millions of Hillary voters are going to slam the DNC and the Obama train.

They'll have their heads spinning……………..asking………..How?………………How could this have happened?

My comment will be…………millions of Americans did not want a racist and a Anti-American as President.

What is the problem with Latinos? Do they not understand that if one minority can reach the top, their turn cannot be far behind? How can an ethnic group that includes at least three races albeit interraciallly throw away their chance to lock up the nomination for Obama like this? Obama will STILL get what he needs regardless of the vote in Puerto Rico whose folks CANNOT vote in November! And thank God for Nancy Pelosi! It takes a strong woman to do battle with another strong woman. And Nancy Pelosi is as strong as they get! Ask anyone of us who know her politically active family from Baltimore!

After she wins – will she ask for money?

I wonder how the good folks of West Virginia, Indiana and Kentucky feel after seeing her drink up with the Puerto Ricans……..because, afterall, she was supposed to be "one of them". LOL.

JC:
After Puerto Rico, Hillary will have won 8 of the last 13 primaries/caucaus

and after Tuesday Obama will have won 7 of the last 15, and have the lead in all metrics that actually matter.

We are really a great example for spreading democracy throughout the world. Our first woman Presidential candidate who is highly qualified and the party wants to 1. Not allow American voters in Florida and Michigan have their voice heard. 2. try to push a candidate out the door before the process has been completed because the party leaders have made committments to the Obama camp or something. We democrats now have our own version of Carl Rove.

This election is going to make a big difference to me as I watch just how the democratic party leaders treat the candidate and the process they follow. I, for one of many ,would vote for Hillary as an independent candidate or I might just write her in if she is not on the ballot. I dont like such blatant corrupt politics or being pushed around. Next best seller "how to destroy a political party" by Howard Dean.

Nancy Pelosi – one person in the whole country – "step in" to end this? She has one vote. Who the hell does she think she is to say she will "step in" to end it. I know politicians can be cocky but this is crazy!
I guess by Pelosi's statement…..our votes don't count!!!! It's who the party leaders want in office that counts.

All of you Hillary supporters who want to stay home in November 08, or vote for McCain in November 08, need to really consider the fact that you may not have a home by November 09. Please people, by general election time cooler heads must prevail. I say this in all earnest

Hillary had a great chance to win this election but not making plans after super Tuesday was her downfall. Had she run her campaign better she would be the nominee.

Congrats to Obama for his latest super delegate this morning! Only 44 more to go!

Obama/Gore '08!

Oooops! Hillary that is insignificant since they dont vote in the general election. It's all jealousy!

Imagine how desperate Hillary has become to have to put so much importance on Puerto Rico. They have no say in the election and little to no representation in Washington. Why are we even discussing this??

Oh Sam, also, besides the fact Obama is not a MUSLIM, you always capitalize God. Are you from W.V. by chance?

Hillary is going to mop the floor with the "presumptive nominee" and thereby end up winning the primaries with a decisive majority of the popular vote. If the DNC is more concerned with adhering to an arcane, undemocratic, ineffectual system that disenfranchises entire states and allows losers (of the popular vote) to become the winner (of pledged delegates), than listening to the will of the MAJORITY of voters as well as selecting the stronger candidate to win in November, then they DEARLY deserve the savage beating they are going to receive in the fall.

DNC, RIP 2008

Well this proves it right here. As goes Puerto Rico so goes the country!

there are a lot of comments on this site about people jumping parties, well it is no wonder they are jumping, the Dems are showing their true faces, McCain in 08 is the only way to go to end the madness of the democratic party, since 2006 the Dems have been in charge and you see the current state that our beloved US is in right now, things are in total chaos, this is all due to the democratic party not Bush, he does not make the rules the democrats are in charge, put another Dem in like Obama and things will really go south.
McCain is the only answer now in 2008.

Too bad they don't vote in the general election. This matters not. She lost!

Obama O-8!

Might as well spend the rest of the summer there Hillary, you're finished.

so what?

Obama began his young and tender life indeed as a Moslem under the tutelage of both of his Islamic fathers and the family Mullah. It was not until relocation to U.S. territory–in his teens that Mr. Obama CONVERTED to christianity.

Thanks for making the facts known.

"… The weekend primary will likely be the New York senator's last chance to boost her popular vote total, since Obama is widely viewed to have an advantage the final two primaries …"

Hey CNN, and other MSM, did you all miss the Memo?!

The nomination is decided by the number of delegates. The popular vote number doesn't count, even though Hillary trails in that count too, when you go by the results that are recognized by the DNP. It's a nice footnote though!

Please stop reporting like the popular vote will also factor into the decision – it won't. Super delegates may have considered it but only if there was no clear winner. In this case there is. That particular Memo, in case you missed it too, went out after the Wisconsin primary!!

After the primaries have concluded we can all relax for a couple of months, anyway. Then, Hillary Clinton will take this fight to the Democratic Convention floor. Anyone going to the convention? It should be fun.

I am glad PR does not get to vote! This the reason why… they are driven by other factors such as race!

For all of you HRC write in voters, are there even write in options on a presidential ballot?

I don't think that there are anymore.

But hey, run with it if it makes you feel better.

I cannot understand why and how Senator Clinton's supporters do not realize that the race in over. She is now saying that she has the most popular vote; however if one looks closely at what she is saying that is not true. Senator Clinton needs to stop and look at what she is doing to the party and nation that she says she loves so much. When this primary began she was the all out favorite. Then came along a young man who spoke to the dreams of a nation. It is time that we as a nation move on and turn the page on the game that is being played in Washington. I am retired and feel the Senator Obama, is the answer this great nation needs at this time. So it is not only the young, but some of us retirees sense the magic in the air also.

Clinton supporters. How is Hillary the favorite canidate when she is losing on ALL metrics????

go hillary all the way to the convention

I can hear her victory speech in Puerto Rico now.
I've just won another crucial swing "state" by double digits.
So what if they don't get to vote in November.

What did Bill Clinton do for these PuertoRicans during his Presidency? So it is Hillary that will do what the husband couldn't do? What an irony?
The world is watching how the Clintons are dividing America.

Hillary should be McCain's VP… she's obviously already working for the GOP by hanging there like stink on a monkey…..

DEFLECT HILLARY'S INFLATED EGO!

This will the LAST we should her from this sore loser. The Delegate race will be over this weekend and the nomination will be final Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Period!

Washington, D.C.

Hey 'Hillary speaks 4 me' why don't you ask her to marry you? You sound so in love or is it the drugs?

Who says Puerto Ricans don't count?
It appears–they think rather highly of Ms. Clinton–and Mr. McCain. Where does that put Mr. Obama with the thousands of U.S. residents of Puerto Rican descent?

Also, if this stupid pols doesn't reflect current views, what exactly was the point in featuring it? At least say "Before Campagning Polls Refelct lead but will change come Sunday" or something along those lines. Other wise this info is usless.

she wins PR – so?

The rest of the States to vote should really think about 2 things,an inevitable nomination or a shelfish power hungry woman who wants to win by all means.

I hope Hillary will consider running for Pres on the Independent Ticket. She would win by a landslide. People from all political corners of the country are pulling for her; repubs, dems, and indes alike. Our best chanes are with her leading us. If the DNC doesn't feel that way then to hell with them. As someone who shares her "Whatever it takes" attitude in life, I will vote for someone who will do just that to get our country back on track.

It will be over next week baby!!!

Obama ‘08

Hillary is celebrating her last days with the puerto ricans ok Hillary bye bye have a nice life start encouraging your supporters to vote for OBAMA or you probaly don't care if the Democrats will win I'm telling you people she is an under cover republican she is just ruining the democratic party right in front of our eyes and still laughing on our face.

She should run for Governor of Puerto Rico, since they don't want her in New York anymore.

Talk about burning bridges!!!

Big Deal Puerto Ricans cannot even vote in the General Election.

No hay problema.

Hillary Clinton just needs to go away to a dark whole with her husband. Anyone who votes for her is a moron in my opinion.

Can you see behind all the fakeness and all the false smiles? Kick her out to the gutters, she is making me sick every time I have to listen to her pitched voice and look at all the pretenses.

Joe Texas, Am I missing something? Did Obama force MI and FL to move their primaries up against the DNC rules? If Obama had "won" these two states would Hillary be pushing for their delegations at all? MI and FL legislators and governors decided to break the rules. They knew what the consequences were. If I speed and get caught I know there are consequences. If there are no consequences for MI and FL for breaking the rules wait and see what happens in future elections. It will be utter chaos!!

Plain and simple the DNC knows that Obama can't win the general election and now they are trying to figure out how they are going to explain another loss in November. Thank you Howard Dean! By the way he wasn't too swift as governor of Vermont either!

You go girl! I don't quite understand how it is that you are not the nominee. You receive the most votes in the states the democrats need to win and Obama wins the states that the republicans always win. So how is all this fair?

How cares? She can win with 100% in PR, but she's already lost the election. Obama may not need the superdelegates afer next week, but they are going to all going to endorse him anyway. Obama only needs 48 delegates to clinch the nomination and there are more than this yet to be won. He is expected to take some in PR and SD and pretty much all of them on Montana. Obama is the nominee. Some want Clinton to run as an independant. To do that, she has to resign from the Democratic Party and she will accomplish nothing but to hand the election to McCain. If she's foolish enough to do this, her political career is completely over.

In my opinion Barack Obama needs to drop out of the race. I would NEVER vote for a person with so little experience to run my country. He doesn't care a whit for the little guy, look at his voters. Wealthy & collage students, he can't get the 'blue collar' vote because he has no connection with the 'real' people in this country. The blacks are voting for him JUST because of his black blood. If he were white he would have been out of this race a long time ago. The Super Delegates are afraid not to vote for him, they are too afraid of Race Riots if they do, I think this is the same reason so many regular delegates have changed their vote. After 40 years of registering and voting Democrat this year I will be registering and voting independent for Bob Barr. I would vote for a Republican before I would vote for Obama.

Obama's Woes: A Tale of Three States
By Richard Baehr
If you want evidence that the Democrats are taking a huge gamble by nominating Barack Obama as their Presidential candidate, you need look no further than the current state of the race in three Southern/border states.

In 1992 and 1996 Bill Clinton won Kentucky, West Virginia and Arkansas. In 2000 and 2004, George Bush won all three states. In the current Democratic Party nominating contest, Hillary Clinton won all three states by huge margins — 30 points or more in each case. West Virginia (3%), and Kentucky (7%) have relatively small black populations. Arkansas is just over 15% African American (in the same range as Florida and Tennessee).

The three states have 19 Electoral College votes among them, almost as many as Ohio (20). In 2004, Bush won the Electoral College by 286-252. Had he lost Ohio, Kerry would have been elected. In 2008, Ohio will undoubtedly be a battleground again.

Were the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the Democrats would be in very good shape even without Ohio. That is because current surveys show Hillary Clinton winning all three states by solid margins over John McCain. But John McCain trounces Barack Obama in the same three states by over 20% in each case. So

This is a total waste of space.Hillary is DONE!!!!

Everyone's missing the key paragraph in the article which states:

"The survey was conducted May 8-20. Given the length of the survey time, it is possible it may not reflect the current views of Puerto Ricans since both candidates have visited the island since the polling began, and other recent developments on the campaign trail may have swayed voter's minds there."

In otherwords, this information is useless.

Just goes to show that they have more sense than the americans
that support.

If Obama is so great, why can't he win ? If Rev.Wright and the "Bitter
Comment" had come out before he won the majority of the other
states, he would not have won them.

Hillary or McCain 08

No Bitter Obama

An observation: Some of the posts here are sounding so illiterate that I'm pretty sure they are coming from people who's English could be their second language. Very suspicious sounding Obama supporters coming from outside the USA. What have they to do with our election? This is an American issue. Since they have no vote they should have no influence in our democracy, especially when they purport to be one of us.

Why shouldn't Hillary get their vote. In Ohio she promised to redo Nafta, in Penn. it was to have a 3 billion dollar act to help fight crime, Indiana and North Caroline a Gas tax holiday and now in Puerto Rico she promises to make them the 51st State. She has a new BS for voters everywhere she goes. To bad that's all she is. Lies, Lies, Lies.

Austin I: It is not SAM'S fault. He does not know better. Remember who he supports….

double digit or not she still would not win. Why put yourself in debt when you know the end result? she needs JESUS

Julie: PR gets to vote in the Primary because it is one of the U.S. '57′ territories, like Guam,Virgin Islands, etc… Josh, your post is really pathetic as is yours james in ny and Sam. Ignorance is not bliss guys.

Single digit , double digit, triple digit it doesn't matter this race is over

GO HILLARY. PUERTO RICANS ARE LOYAL not LIKE BLACKS……………remember it was the blacks who sold themselves to the white man"
—————————————
What the hell are you talking about?

Isn't this the same 13 point edge she had two months ago – new poll – same results. Her translator must be more charismatic than she is – after all who isn't? CNN, this is not news. Hillary will win PR! Whoopdee doo – everyone already knew this.

Maybe next week you can finally break that story about Neil Armstrong landing on the moon.

Good I am glad, Obama doesnt care about puerto rico, he went for 2 hours then on vacation, guess if they arent gonna count in the GE he doesnt care. I think the dnc should be ashamed. They should have let the primary process continue instead of trying to tell people to get out after the first primary like they did and they likely affected the outcome of the election. Oh and CNN nice article on how Obama used the the same tatic in chicago to elminate his competition. Obama supporters should read it its disgusting he is power hungry. CNN post.

The Dem. party bosses cannot turn away from the remarkable showing Hillary Clinton has made in large industrial states, swing states, and soon in Puerto Rico. When the popular vote is finally tallied, I predict her numbers and Obama's will be amazingly close. Al Gore lost despite his overwhelming Bush in the popular vote. Are we going to let that happen again? How can Hillary be turned away or discounted as a major candidate?

Worried that Obama cannot win.

I have yet to understand what Clinton has ever done for Hispanics or Blacks. Unless you count visiting our neighborhoods and churches (because of politics), she has never done anything for us. I am from New York and I know from first hand experience that she has never come out and made any difference in any common problems that face both Blacks and Hispanics here. Clinton, like many Democrats and republicans have made sure that Hispanics and Blacks stay divided because of fear of a very powerful voting block if we were to unite. We (Blacks and Hispanics) allowed ourselves to be manipulated by the media, and politicians into believing that Hispanics and Blacks are enemies, when in fact we face many of the same problems. Clinton stated that she represents a million Puerto Ricans here in New York but what has she actually done. Nothing! I grew up where Blacks and Hispanics were close and even had a saying “Black and Brown that’s how we get down”. However, the media and politicians have instilled into the American people that that Hispanics and Blacks have a dislike for each other so those who do not know the truth believe such propaganda. The media and politicians have made it seem like Blacks will not vote for Hispanics and Hispanics will not vote for Blacks, which is not true. However, when you hear it long enough you start to believe it and vote according to that propaganda. Clinton during this election has played that up from the beginning to keep us divided implying that because Obama is Black, Hispanics should not vote for him. This type of divisiveness by Clinton is a tactic to keep us apart. We (Hispanics and Blacks) must come together and ask Clinton what have you truly done for us.

They haven't even began voting yet….whatever…I hate these stupid polls

SHE LIKES THAT DRINK HA?

MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR HER MEAN SPIRITED CAMPAIGN.

I always think it was a mistake for Obama not to run a more vigorous campaign in Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota. Sen. Clinton is looking everywhere to find something to say about her chances to win and by working harder in those last states it could have help shut her up sooner.

Why is Puerto Rico allowed to vote in the primaries anyway? They can't vote in the general election. They logically should have no opinion on who the nominee is. This is the most idiotic thing I've seen today.

Hillary along with Bill were part of the group responsible for getting Vieques and Naval Station Roosevelt Roads Puerto Rico closed down. She protested along with others until the military pulled their support and closed down the base. She has done NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for Puerto Rico and does not deserve the Boriqua VOTE. It is because of people like her that the towns surrounding the now closed Roosevelt Roads base and the people are economically destitute and have lost their homes and livelihoods. Voting for Hillary would be a wasted vote for Puerto Rico. A vote for Obama and Fortuno will bring a much needed change to this Island Paradise.

Hillary speaks 4 me: Please get a grip and unite!!! She will not win!!!!

Obama 08/12!!!

Senator Clinton is still out there despite the evidence that the DNC has already decided who the candidate will be. When I see these so called “super delegates” supporting a candidate that lost in their state they are sending the message that what the people in their state want does not matter. How many “super delegates” are supporting Obama when Clinton won the majority of the vote in their state? Maybe the DNC wants Senator Obama in the White House because he will be easier to manipulate than Senator Clinton will be. The DNC has shown that the "super delegates" votes matter more than the "common people's" votes. When you get someone like Pelosi saying that this will be decided before the convention it sends the message that the decision has been made. I am a life long Democrat and once again I feel that my vote does not matter, just as it did not matter in the last election in Florida (where I lived at the time). No matter how well Senator Clinton does the DNC has made up its mind and said to hell with the people.

How ignorant can you be? Black did not SELL THEMSELVES to the white man! I got truly offended when the media said that those who are LESS Educated and without college degrees are the one's who support Billary, however, you have jsut changed my mind. Read your history!

Obama is terrible.

Hillary can win PR, Brazil, Argentina, Cuba and come back home.
By that time Obama would be swearing in as President
Maybe Hillary supporters dont know it… but she knows she is lying and desperate. Not a single vote should be counted from MI and FL. They violated the DNC Rules.
If there are no rules in a party or country, people can do whatever they want. You get arrested for stealing… the same way MI and FL should not be counted for violating the rules.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Seems no matter who wins… the Democratic Party loses.

It's just as well, I guess. With McCain as President, at least there will be a Democratic majority in the House and Senate to make sure his policies are in line, for the good of the people.

It would be very scary to have the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches of the government under the power of a such an inexperienced novice.

Somebody has to love her.

Hillary's last act of desperation will be to hire Tanya Hrding to break Obama's knee caps…

BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

U are an idiot sam !!! i will still vote for obama even if he was a muslim.A honest muslim to me is better than the clintons.

What does Hillary have against USA beer and whiskey?

She drinks Canadian Whiskey and PR Beer, but refuses American Whiskey?

Shameful. She was for NAFTA then, she is for NAFTA now!

The proff is in her hands.

News Week Today:

While the Obama and McCain campaigns jab at each other over who is linked to the greater number of lobbyists, Hillary Clinton has managed to stay clear of their recent spats–even though one of her top advisers is a big-name Washington dealmaker. Harold Ickes, a longtime Clinton family confidante and member of the Democratic National Committee, is a registered lobbyist with the Ickes and Enright Group.

Lobbying disclosure forms show that in 2007, when the Senate was preparing a bill called the Labor, (Health and Human Services) and Education Appropriations Act 2008, Ickes lobbied Congress on behalf of the Brooklyn Public Library and the New York Hall of Science. Records show Clinton and fellow New YorkDemocratic Sen. Chuck Schumer earmarked $500,000 for the Brooklyn Public Library and $600,000 for the New York Hall of Science.

WELL, WELL…….WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE NOW THIS IS NEWS

JOSH: Get your history STRAIGHT! You seem to be an idiot and further removing all doubt with your recent post. On the issue of loyalty, you are ignorant to confuse race with the issue of loyalty. Are you Puerto Rican? If not, please shut the $ up!

Hey TONY,

I know Jewish people…

Jewish people know how to write coherent English…

You, Tony, are NO "Jewish people"!!

ROFL!!

and your point is??????????

It sounds a bit like prostitution tp the people, what Clintons Bill is doing in recent days.
I think, the Clintons would do EVERY thing and given every false testemony in order to get votes.
What deep fall it will be, if they will be stopped quickly.

I guess, the Clintons will not help Obama in any way.
This couple is completely out of order now, they can still not imagine, bot going to be the renters of the white house.
What a personal catastrophy for these two gamblers,
Billyboy, oh billyboy, how deep did you fall.. The future interest of all the pundits on BJC and HRC will minimize drastically.

This is crazy! Puerto Rico's vote (popular) won't be counted in the general election, so why include it in the primary? Hillary will pick up a few more delegates, but it doesn't matter because she'll still be behind Obama. Watch her include PR's popular vote in her numbers, but it won't matter because they won't vote in the general election.

Too bad they don't count in the general election.

Wasn't it a month or so ago that Senator Clinton was wearing the mask of the good little Scranton girl who went to Sunday School? This party girl, salsa image is so very different from who I thought she was. I'm confused…who is Hillary? Does she even know at this point?

Well at least she can end her campaign on an upbeat note by winning PR. But PR really doesn't matter. They can't vote in the general election so she can't even make the argument that's she more electible even if she wins.

Really, CNN? Your moderators think that THIS is an appropriate comment?

More Full Service Pandering from a family of Self Serving phony liars. Come on people of Puerto Rico, surely you can see through Hillary? Vote for someone with honesty and integrity. Those are foreign concepts to the Clinton's. Vote Obama!

Sam you may need surgery to remove your head from your backside.

Josh:

Your comments are totally rude and disrespectful. As a proud Puerto Rican I have to apologize to the African American community for the ignorance coming out of this idiots mouth.

Sam May 29th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

god bless America.

Sam,

The next time you buy a vowel, please buy the right ones. It's not MOSLEM, it would be MUSLIM. Obama is not one, has never been one and will never be one. Even if he was, there is nothing wrong with being one.

I'm surprised you spelled god right.

Yesterday you reported 3 new superdelegates for OBAMA. WHY HAVEN`T YOU UPDATED THE COUNT??

The democrats are destroying our chances of winning in November!
WE have to unite now! NO matter how much you want Hillary to win–the numbers say otherwise. No matter how they seat FL and MI it will be unfair to those that did not cast their vote because they were told it would not count…..WHAT ABOUT THOSE VOTERS?

Hillary will not be able to overtake OBAMA even after they seat MI and FL………she can only get ahead if she takes away someone elses vote from the caucuses. Please lets be realists and grown ups and united for the good of the country. Everyday McCain and the Reublicans are attacking OBAMA not HIllary and he needs to move on from the primary and focus on the general election. We are losing precious time.

The longer Hillary insists to her followers that she can still win and that OBAMA is not electable, causing them to dig in and say they won`t vote for OBAMA in NOV. the harder it will be. I watched Hannity and Combs last night on FOX(Republican channel) and they had a state by state look at who would win electorial votes in Nov and OBAMA got 237 and McCain got 227 with the rest up for grabs. Yes this is just a poll or estimate, but they did not even figure Hillary in the picture. OBAMA has a great chance in NOV and we need to unite behind him and take back the White House. Hillary right now is putting this in jeopardy. OBAMA 08

Sam, Am sure you are not a real American. Kindly go back where you came from When Obama become the President. Note that Obama was never a Moslim.

How many electoral college votes does Puerto Rico have again?

Clearly this is excellent news for HRC, and helps her electoral college electability arguement…

Wait, what do you mean PR has 0 electoral college votes?!?!?

In all seriousness. 6 days until Hillary drops out and goes back to the Senate with her tail between her legs.

PuertoRicans and Latinos in general are supporting the best candidate, the next president of our great Nation, HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!. LATINOS PLEASE UNITE AND SUPPORT HILLARY, SHE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT ALWAYS CARE ABOUT THE LATINO COMMUNITY. OBAMA JUST CARE NOW BECAUSE THE ELECTION, AFTER THAT HE WILL FORGET ABOUT US.
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 2008 AND 2012!!!!

May be Hillary will drop out after this Puerto Rico victory as this will be her LAST meaningless victory to gloat

Senator Clinton continues to prove "foolishness" to the public acting like a spoil millionaire. Is that Hillary or Hilton? Get real, Hillary! Take a backseat and enjoy the ride!

CNN you must adjust the score card for Obama he got 1982 delegates as tosays date.. Thanks

meaningless to all but the most deluded.

Keep drinking Hillary.

Enough is enough. I am sick of seeing Hillary Clinton's face. She is out and Obama is definitely in.

Have another beer Hillary….next stop…Rehab.

This is stupid.
The vote primaries but not in the general election. Only in America you say.
Why should they have a chance to help pick a candidate but not the President. Your only a country cusin at this point and should have to wait till your a state.

Everytime I read this crap put out by pundits I get just Po'd! Hillary is CLEARLY the favorite candidate and people like Pelosi trying to ram rod obama up our you know what. I hate my party. As soon as they officially announce that Hillary is done, I am changing party's. I hope pelosi and the rest of the DNC get ousted on their next election. They have ruined our party and put a non viable candidate up for nomination in a critical time. They have essentially costs us billions of dollars. I certainly hope they get theirs!

Who cares. Too little, too late. Puerto Rico can't even vote in the general election. Stick a fork in it and lets get on with the real campaign — ending 8 years of Bush and preventing 4 years of McBush!

Go Obama

JULIE, THAT IS MY POINT EXACTLY. ALL OF THESE COMMENTS ARE MOOT. THEIR VOTES REALLY REALLY DON'T COUNT ANYWAY.

Sam…thanks for showing us the limitless level of ignorance that can be found in this country.

Yeah, Julie is correct. Why does Puerto Rico, which can't vote in the general election, get such a large number of delegates in the Democratic primary? So what if Hil wins there? This makes no sense.

This future result doesn't come as a shock to anyone, but their rhetoric doesn't serve the aim of the democratic party period..

He commuted the sentences of enough FALN Terrorists to ensure that a Clinton would win in Puerto Rico even if their name wasn't on the ballot.

Last poll I saw had Obama with a larger lead against McCain. Once the Hillabots figure out Obama isn't satan, he's actually a very intelligent and articulate man, those number will grow even wider.

Obama will win some states in November that will surprise. There are a lot of angry Republicans out there, more of which are willing to support Obama than Hillary.

It doesn't matter now. Obama has only 43 delegates and counting down. There's will no fighting nor arguments after June 1st because the DNC Party is going to tell Hillary Clinton to pack it up and go home. If not, she will damage whatever popularity she has left and will be shunned by the party.

Please Hillary, bow out with grace.

Good for her !!
Hope she will bow out gracefully afterwards in order to start focusing on McBush. BTW CNN, you didn't mention an overriding information along with this article, so let me do it for you:

Puerto Rico is a nice Island but it won't sway any super delegates to HRC's side
why?: Because they can't vote to the general election. So, it matters only in terms of delegates but she will still far behind.

I have a question: Is it true Puerto Rico is a winner-take-all delegates ??

Why is Puerto Rico even holding a primary? They are not eligible to vote in a presidential election anyway. They don't even pay federal income taxes.

After Puerto Rico, Hillary will have won 8 of the last 13 primaries/caucaus and negative information about Obama is coming to light. It is no wonder Obama supporters want to strong-arm Hillary out of the campaign. Of course, that is nothing new for Obama – he did afterall become a senator by strongarming all of his opponents (including the democratic incumbent) off the ballot to run unopposed. Count Florida and Michigan (1/2 like the Republicans did), allow the last 3 states to make their voices heard, and let the superdelegates decide who will be the democrat nominee. No wonder Obama supporters are so scared of this process going longer – how many skeletons does he have in his closet?

We will have to just see after Sunday!

Is puertoricans re blind or what? You will electe a liar like Hillary, Shame on you. Don't you see what happen with her right now, she try to divide the party.. Oh sorry I forgot you are imperia;iste first. Tha't why you vote for the 'LIAR QUEEN BILLARY'

Glad she has toasted her way into favor with voters who are ineligible to vote in November. In the two states which count in the overall electoral picture Montana and S. Dakota, CNN might want to headline their current polls which point elsewhere.

Whatever happens, I will be writing in Hillary Clinton in November.

RE: Pelosi prepared to 'step in' to end race
This is why I have abandoned the democratic party after 30 years of holding on to it's ideals of serving the people. It's no longer serving the democratic ideals and has gone to elitism and left wing liberalism. Dean, Pelosi an a whole bunch of others had this nomination planned from the beginning. They wanted a candidate who will follow the ultra liberal agenda they have been promoting from the beginning of this primary.

Hillary Clinton has already committed to Barack Obama's candidacy and therefore has become a party loyalist. She fought hard but couldn't overcome her own fear of losing face with her party. Sorry Bill, you were good but she's gone to the dark side.

John McCain is a moderate and a sensible lesser of the evils presented to the public in this year's election. Let's hope for the best and save the USA from the liberal elitism of this democratic party disaster. Vote John McCain in 08.

Big Deal, If Clinton gets the rules changed about Florida and Michigan, I will vote Republican…………..She will destroy the party and what America stands for……..

Does the country really need another alcoholic President? And is this how she spends her campaign donations? Rounds of beer for everyone at the poor hardworking white peoples' expense!

GO HILLARY. PUERTO RICANS ARE LOYAL not LIKE BLACKS……………remember it was the blacks who sold themselves to the white man

If DNC talks about rules, then play by rules, and let the Democratic primaries go as scheduled. Why bully and STOP the process ?

Some far-left liberals have made up their mind for this "PUPPET" to run against McCain in November. uh, failed strategy from losers.

I encourage everyone in Puerto Rico to vote for Hillary, She is much stronger candidate against John Mc Cain, She has a proven track record of delivering, Obama only knows how to get to people with his speaches, The economy was going in the right direction, We had a surplus when the Clinton's were in office, People need to understand that we don"t trust Obama, Obama is trying to steal the election by not counting all 50 states, he's only counting 48 and how sad that people still vote for him, when he is not trusted after the Wright scandal, I will not vote for another term of George Bush with him, He has no experience, We need someone that can deliver on day 1, not someone in training, Hillary is the right choice and our only hope …Clinton08

Puerto RIco is not a state, but I'm sure Billary has promised them that and more. Why don't all Americans just quit work and vote for the candidate that promises us more. Won't that solve all our problems?

So what HAS Hillary done for Puerto Rico? How is it that Puerto Rico has more delegates than Oregon, Kentucky, W Virginia and it's not a state?

What do latinos see in Billary that we are all missing? Or is it a prejudice against blacks? This puzzles me…

But I hope they won't pick McBush over Obama simply because of race… that would be rather shameful and unfortunate… WV & KY, I hope you're listening.

I'm as white as they come, but I want a better future for my grandchildren. I also want to see the United States continue to LEAD the world and not fall behind China, India and the rest of the world.

Obama 2008

Why can't Obama put it away?

Since before the Texas primary he has been considered the "front runner".

Obama in the past few weeks has been running the "general election" campaign.

Media have all but said Obama is the nominee.

So why are there SO many people still coming out to vote for anyone but Obama?

For someone who should have won this over a month ago… it says a lot about what will happen in November.

If the Democrats are THIS concerned about their "front runner" then you know Republicans aren't going to sway his way.

Congrats Obama.

And it looks like Congrats Republicans in November.

it would be the biggest mistake IF Mr. Barack HUSSAIN Obama is elect the president to this Christian country .
an ex MOSLEM for 27 years would be my president , NO WAY.
if not Hillary please vote for John Mc Cain.

god bless America.

I'm beginning to think HRC is an alcoholic.

Good, maybe she can stay there!

What is it with this woman and beer. Jeez…she needs to be in rehab, not the White House!

Thanks for ruining the DEM party Clinton. I can not wait for the day when I never have to hear the word 'Clinton' again!

Message to Hillary Clinton: Give it up and show some dignity instead of downing a beer with the guys in Puerto Rico to get their votes.

Nancy Pelosi is correct that this nomination must be decided before the convention in August. Hillary Clinton is causing divisiveness in the Democratic Party on purpose so Barack Obama, the nominee apparent, will not have a chance to defeat John McCain in November! That way she can run again in 2012.

Way to go Hillary!! I hear Donna Summer singing, "Last Dance." As a former Clinton supporter, you have just turned everyone off with your lies and mudslinging. You will never be elected for another office and I am willing to bet that your senate seat will be a cold one when you return. SO, GO GIRL! This is your last chance for romance in politics. So come on baby, dance that dance! (I am doing the happy wiggle dance in my chair).

Good riddance!

Obama 08

Funny how back in January 2008.. she said she wasn't going to be the President known for having a beer with in photo op's and lord & behold here she is with a beer doing photo ops…

Hillary even the little "white lies" are still lies…

I will be happy when this fiasco is over next week..

I want a President with honesty ……. not addictions and exaggrations….

Say …..Good Night Hillary………… "Good Night Hillary"

if as CNN says:
it is possible it may not reflect the current views of Puerto Ricans since both candidates have visited the island since the polling began

WHY report on this survey if it is quite possible that it doesn't reflect the current Puerto Ricans?

It's interesting that not even Bill Clinton can make a compelling case for his wife to be president.

It shows how out of touch the Clintons are with times.

"There is no there there."

Sad but true.

the primary is irrelevant and so is Hillary

OBAMA '08

i'm not suprise at all. try callin a dark skin hispanic black and youll see how they look at you. but too bad, they can't stop bama

In economic terms, Hillary's campaign in this stage, is referred to as throwing good money after bad money. She isn't going to steal the nomination without tearing the democratic party in two and is that really what you want?!?!

Time to pack it up and call it a hard fought second place, history won't fault you for that.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS: LISTEN UP!!!

EVERY SINGLE WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS IS EITHER TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR TWISTED TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE.

Hillary never once said that caucuses don't count or that they don't matter… You people are ridiculous. Get a grip..

The point is that PRIMARY Elections are more representative of the will of the majority of voters and more closely demonstrates how voters will turn out in the GE. Caucuses only cater to the small percentage of party activists usually 1% to 5% of the registered voters. Caucuses make it extremely difficult to participate due to the time constraints and voters do not enjoy the right to a private vote.. Young voters and seniors are often intimidated by the process of having to publicly announce their choice. A vote is a personal and private matter.

The nomination process ends at the Convention. This is how the nomination process works..It's always been this way. primaries and caucuses were only added in the last 50 years.

There is a purpose for having a convention. It's an opportunity to determine a nominee in the event that there is not a clear winner OR if that winner is not who the majority of ALL the delegates ultimately feels has the best chance of winning the GE.

The primaries/caucuses were set up to have the a average voter involved in the decision making process. Not to be the final word. otherwise what purpose would the Convention and the selection of delegates serve?
IF OBAMA IS WHO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS THEN THEY WILL HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AT THE CONVENTION…. We all have to accept that as the final word.

Wonderful.

Good going.. Be my president

Hillary '08

I do not think it matter
Obama is fighting Mc Cain and who is fighting Hillary?
Nobody a part from herself. The sup-Delg know what politic is.
they also see what Clinton is doing,
there are so scare of her destroying the party that they keep telling
good things about her. the true is SHE IS THE NIGHT MARE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. She is also destroying herself.

Let me predict this. Why Hillary loss? a documentary that will make Micheal More a lot of money.

By the way SHE WILL LOSE HER SEAT IN NEW YORK.

With all due respect to the great people of Puerto Rico, while their involvement in the primary is significant, they have no say so in the general election so I fail to see the significance in who has the lead. While it can be argued that Clinton has the Latino vote because of her double-digit lead. This is just a snap shot in time and does not reflect what may happen in November.

Puerto Rico, loves Obama!

party it up boozer

Way to go, Hillary!
Slow down on the street money for those votes, however.
We heard Obama's not gonna reimburse you for no landslide.

Obama just got another Superdel today. 44 to go.

It's over.

I can tell you right now that is a lie. Puerto Ricans aren't the typical
Hispanics who are swayed by pandering because we need to be
accepted. We aren't jealous of Senator Obama. We support him 100%.
Hillary is ok, but Obama is better.

Yes We Can.
Obama 08

Wow, PR has that many delegates? No wonder the 2 candidates went there to campaign. Obama had to cut his short to do the commencement speech for Ted Kennedy that weekend though. But even so, that's an impressive statistic for Clinton.

who cares, they can't vote on the general..Nacy Polosi please step in and stop this woman before she breaks the dnc

Looking very presidential… NOT !!
Clintons ,go away & stay away !! You are sore losers, spoil-sports, lying ,self-serving ,divisive hate-mongers !! Everything this country needs lesss of .

Since Puerto Rico is not a State, why does it get to vote on who the Democratic nominee will be for the rest of us in the 57 States. Sorry I meant 50 States.

She has told so many lies about Barack. It will come back to haunt her.

Whoppee!!! She won a swing state! Oh wait, they can't vote in the general election…..and they are not a state……….well, looks like Hillary is partying it up over there. You might as well start your vacation……..

I just hope she doesn't show up on Girls Gone Wild with all the drinking she is doing!!!

I hope Poueto RicanS do not burn their bridges to gain presidential voting rights IN United States by voting against the next possible Commander-In-Chief, Barack Obama. There is no way Clinton can make it now.

YES WE CAN!

Who cares??

Is she too drunk to realize it's over.

According to Hillary, the votes in in Puerto Rico should countn but my vote in a caucus state should not count. Will some Clinton supporter explain why this is correct.

Hillary is Off to Bellevue

Hillary: Puerto Rico is a crucial swing state that will help me in the general election…Barack Obama cannot win Puerto Rico so he is not electable.

The Fat Lady: But Hillary, Puerto Rico can't vote in the general election and they aren't even a state. Sorry, it's over.

Hillary: BUT WHYYYYYYY!?!?! I'm supposed to be president not him….I stayed with Bill for this!??!? Puerto Rico should be able to vote in the general election it's not fair. (Kicking and Screaming)

Police: Okay, take her away.

Um… Obama already has a clear majority of pledged delegates. Soooo…. Is she still having a hard time with the math? Mike Huckabee learned faster than this.

Go Hillary!

SHE IS CELEBRATING A LITTLE TOO EARLY.

SHE DID THAT IN TEXAS, THINKING SHE HAD THE

LATINO VOTE IN HER POCKET. PUERTO RICANS

CAN WATCH YOU TUBE & GOOGLE. HER LIES

WON'T SWAY ANY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

IN TEXAS THEY VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR

SENATOR OBAMA.

This just in: Puerto Rico doesn't matter, and nobody cares anymore.

I can't wait to these contest are over and OBAMA VS. MCSAME can begin.

Why does Puerto Rico have a vote at all? They can not vote in the general election. Why not let the people in the Dominican Republic and i Argenttina and every where else in the Americas have a vote in the nomination process if they can't vote in the general election.?

Puerto Rico can't vote in November and will reflect yet another meaningless win for Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama will win on June 3rd and Hillary just needs to shut-up and go away. The only good thing about this drawn out battle is she had guaranteed that she will NEVER be President and that is a VERY GOOD THING for our country.
Good-bye to the Clinton Crimes. Thank God!

It is strange how the most recent votes are the only ones that count. Barack has states that he has hammered Clinton and the same for her. I believe in rules. We as Americans need to remember Florida 2008, when we were told who the next president was going to be. This is when no rules were obeyed. Look at where that has left us. Let's keep our eye on the prize! We need real change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does Puerto Rico vote in the primary but not in the general election? Makes no sense. I'm sure she'll use these votes to bolster her "popular vote" myth.

As a Puerto Rican, I can say that this is false. Islanders don't rely on
polls, we go out and vote. And right now Senator Obama owns Clinton
here. Si Se Puede!!!!!

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!

When will more people see her self-serving, destructive behavior for what it truly is?

okay and….

Obama will WIN, S.Dakota and MONTANA, forsure.

If, she takes P.Rico, this means nothing, she still behind.

NOVEMBER 4th, will be down to,
McCain and Obama….
Hillary needs to get out.

But they can't vote in the general election so what's the point of this story.

That picture says it all. Having a beer after a tough fight that she lost. I like your headline CNN……Clinton has double digit lead……SO WHAT….ITS OVER…….BYE BYE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She has triple digit lead in state of confusion.

WOW! Too bad for Mrs. Clinton that Puerto Rico doesn't vote in the general election.

Who Cares!!!!! Too little, too late! Oh, and by the way, Puerto Rico don't vote in the general election, so this is pointless!

YES WE CAN!

Latinos have consistently voted for Hillary, let us continue supporting her!

Los Latinos hemos votado de forma consitente por Hillary. Continuemos apoyandola!

Puerto Rico con Hillary!

Puerto Rico for Hillary

Si podemos!!!
Yes we can!!!

Hillary 08 – President of the United States of America

THE FACT THAT PUERTO RICANS VIEW HILLARY MORE FAVOURABLY THAN OBAMA, DOES NOT SPEAK WELL FOR PUERTO RICANS. HAVE THESE PEOPLE BEEN LISTENING AT ALL, TO HILLARY'S RABID RHETORIC?

I have to point out that it seems we are getting more and more pictures of Hillary drinking some form of an alcoholic beverage… This doesnt impress me a bit nor does it change the way I will vote in the general election. It will be Obama or no one. Obama would also lose my vote if he chooses Hillary as a VP or any real cabinet position. Her husbands presidency sent my life into a tailspin and her lies and how she has run her campaign merely adds to my decision..

Obama 08/09

She really annoys me.

Now that she need the poor people, she wants to look like a populist; however, we all now how rich and selfish she is.

PR??????? and this will make a difference?????? snickering

Who cares about Puerto Rico?, they are not even a state of the US. They dont vote in the general election, so why are they voting in the first place? Most of them are uneducated and uninformed anyway, so they must be voting for Clinton.

Who cares if she's leading or not, CNN should look for something better to report. HRC is out of the picture and I don't know why you guys can't get it.

Do we really care about her lead in Puerto Rico? No, Hillary is done! It's been over for her since North Carolina and Indiana.

wow, hillary has just swayed me. I mean, with all the electoral votes that she will win there in the general election, how could she lose? she really is more electable

So What – I though she was going to win NC or be close – I thought the polls said she'd blow IN out of the water?? I thought the polls last year had her set to be the nominee and there was no reason for this election?

Yet again another fluff story from CNN about how Clinton is still in the race – when it's like watching a 3 leg horse race a sports car –

I know this much – If Obama was leading in this state, Clinton would be saying Puerto Rico shouldn't count as they don't vote in the general election! So again another example of Clinton spinning and twisting what ever she can to make it look like she should be in this race!

What has she done, why is she more electable? She said her self that Obama would beat McCain! Where is all this great experiance? What has she done other than be the first lady in an administration where her Husband was having an affair?! The only reason people are talking about her being more electable this week is because she's saying it over and over again! All she's done for the past 2 months is make it harder for any democrat to win in November.

She's allready in debt – she won't be able to match the GOP on spending and campaigning – her wins in PA and IN and TX were helped by Rep' voters switching over to vote for her to drag this out!

Wake up people!

PUERTO RICANS GO TO YOU TUBE & LISTEN

TO WHO HILLARY REPRESENTS, THE WORKING

WHITE. WE ARE NOT WHITE & WHAT WE DO FOR

A LIVING, I GUESS SHE DOESN'T THINK IS WORK.

Hillary should be the last person considered to be president. I hope the rest of the people to vote realize USA is not Saudi Arabia or some other type of emirate where certain people are entitled to a throne. Supporters to the red face/neck Billy should get over it and look into building a brighter future for this country.

Puerto Ricans voting for Hillary are simply wasting their vote. Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face is totally idiotic.

lOVE YOU GIRL!!!!

GO, DO NOT GIVE UP!!!

Don't let the dems steal this from you Hillary!

Hang in there until November!!

Who cares?

Change means NO CLINTONS OR BUSH'S in the White House!

and this is important, because she'll need those votes in the general election-

wait…

Hillary is such a Party-Animal. . . Party-On Hillary !!

That's one 'Party' she knows well.

Obama '08

Well good for you Queen Hillary. Just anf FYI: They can't vote in the general election. Sooooo, how does that help you? Go away you witch!!

Congratulations Hillary on your upcoming victory. I hope it will make it easy for you to go out with a bang. We love you very much, but it is over.

Democrats unite

Obama 08

Stupid people, its call pandering. WHAT IS THE POINT PUERTO RICO WILL NOT DECIDE THE GENERAL ELECTION. ROTFLMAO :):)

She will win in PR and lose the next two and Senator Obama will have secured the nomination. Then she will have to live up to her word to help heal the party. Can't wait for James carvell to give Senator Obama the check he is carrying in his pocket.

Obama 08/12

it will be much closer than that.besides ,who cares? the race is over except in hillary's head.

Are they part of the 50 states in the United State if not who cares?

I am not surprised that Hillary has the lead by such a margin. Latinos throughout America obviously prefer Hillary as their nominee. Hillary also has out performed Obama in a majority of the swing states where an democratic party nominee needs to win to get the necessary Electoral College votes.

However, I am not sure that Hillary's performance in the Swing states, will make a difference when the Super delegates make their decisions since the party seems intent on having Obama as their nominee.

If Obama is the nominee the democratic party will again shoot themselves in the foot (so to speak) and will again lose the election because their members have got caught up in the Obama popularity thing. But that is OK because Hillary will run again in 2012 after McCain completes his one and only term as President.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

DID SHE TELL THEM SHE ONLY REPRESENTS

SOME OF THE WORKING WHITE, NOT US??

BY HOW SHE PHRASES THAT THE REST OF

AMERICANS DON'T WORK.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, IT WILL CHANGE IF SHE STAYS

ANY LONGER IN PUERTO RICO.

TO KNOW HER IS NOT TO LIKE HER.

WHY DOES THE MEDIA HATE HER SO MUCH AND MORE THAN 17 MILLION VOTED FOR HER, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

she still doesnt have the popular vote, and last I heard OBAMA won most to all CAUCUS'

Way to go Peurto Rico!!

CNN Impress me and post this. Too many Taxpayers don't know this.

OF COURSE SHE DOES!!

Hillary promises to let PR Stay the way it is…funny thing is less than 4% Of the Taxpayers in the U.S. KNOWS how good PR has it.

NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

FULL STATE PRIVELEGES and Military protection. (cannot vote in General)

Great Tax Haven for U.S. Companies.

Highest WELFARE RATE!!

Ask yourself WHY do they ALWAYS vote down STATEHOOD?? Wouldn't you???

Obama wants them to become a state and become self reliant.

The Democrats will lose my vote from now on, if Clinton becomes the nominee.

She lost fair and square. She is destroying the country's oldest, largest and strongest party.

Obama or LIbertarian '08

So what…it wont matter.

And that's all Obama needs. Do the math. It's over. The popular vote in Puerto Rico will not count because they can't vote in the general election. There goes Clinton claims about what she could do in November.

they can not vote GE

Hillary will win 65%- 35% mark my words ,

Who cares about PR? Honestly!

Countdown on ending this madness!

After throwing the kitchen sink, pots, pans and the toaster, it doesn't even matter anymore.

I have lost every bit of respect for both Clintons.

Obama or Libertarian in '08.

I'm distressed that my beautiful people are believing the lies and pandering of the Clintons.

Please open your eyes. We've been lied to enough.

Now why do we need another LUSH in the White House Again??? I think 8 Years is enough!!! Oh how cute she is drinking a presidente… If you can't beat them drink'em!!! LOL

Obama 08

The Puerto Rican people have as good of a chance swimming to mainland US as Hillary has of winning the nomination! It seems as if Puerto Rico is in the same category as West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana.
52% of P.Ricans view her favorably???? Oh, the New York connection (over 1 mil. P.Ricans in NY). What a good reason to vote for her!!! When she loses is the island going to vote for McCain? Good luck!

Does it really matter if she wins in PR? They can't even vote in the General Election, and she still won't have enough delegates to take the nomination. (This is only practice for PR.) So go ahead Clinton Supporters. VOTE! : O )

I wonder when Obama supporters will call on "stupid" lationos for their support of Clinton. That wouldn't be racist, would be?

Who cares….they don't even vote in the general election….

And Obama leads in Kenya!

…which has the same number of electoral votes in the GE in Puerto Rico. That's right – ZERO.

First of all Spanish people don't like black this is based on my owne experience. They admit that black did not do anything to them but they have to be that way to be more close to white and be more accepted by them. No matter who you are once your black, even the most illiterate hispanic will consider who as an inferior. Some of them want hispanic to be president first before black. So it is not surprising to see Hilary do well among them. Specially among the 30 yr or older.
Obama O8

Who cares? This race is over and she's only damaging the party and her reputation with this charade. This will all be over in a few days.

If Puerto Rico cannot vote for President….why are they involved in the Primaries?

Cheers, Hillary!! YOUR DAYS ARE OVER!! Best thing to do is to leave on a jet plane, take Bill with you!! Fine a desert island where you can lay back with the liquor, and "feel sorry" for yourselves!! THE CLINTON DYNASTY HAS ENDED!!

More beer? Did she do a shot this time?

For one thing-it's too little too late,as well as they don't vote in the general.What's even sadder is for her to promise them counting votes in the generals from now on.The only State Hillary has not admitted being from is the "State of Denial".
How Presidential to spend all your time in every state slugging down alcohol in desperation.

If Obama is the clear choice, he should be winning the remaining primaries.

But he is not, WHY?

Beacause, he is the clear choice of the people.

Hillary is.

I think on the last 10 primaries, Hillary won 7 and Obama only 3.

Hillary is the better choice…

Who cares…there is a reason why Puerto Rico is one of the last states in this primary season…they don't vote in the general election. Just give us the delegates thats all we need. Hillary was a great opponent blah blah blah.

Good for her! Hopefully, Tuesday will be the end of it all.

VIVA OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares she still is a loser

Picture this:

North Carolina is getting ready to play Duke — its biggest rival — for the ACC basketball championship in a few days. The North Carolina coach holds a scrimmage, which, he tells the players, will decide the starting lineup for the game against Duke. It is also, of course, a chance for the entire team to fine-tune its game for the big showdown against Duke.

The team is divided into two squads, which scrimmage for a while. With just a few minutes left, one of them holds an insurmountable lead. But the losing squad keeps committing cheap fouls, whines about the refereeing, and asks that the rules be changed so they can be credited for shots they had taken from out of bounds, or after the shot clock had expired.

The outcome of the scrimmage is no longer in the slightest doubt, except for one thing: whether or not somone on the starting five will suffer a torn ACL, or dislocate their shoulder, or simply be too banged up and exhausted to compete effectively against Duke.

If the side that is hopelessly losing this scrimmage is too stupid or self-absorbed to realize the potential harm it is doing to the entire team, then any North Carolina fan with the slightest sense will scream like hell for those players to cut the crap. Those players deserve to get booed right out of the gym. At some point, if the foolishness continues, it becomes the responsibility of the coach to end this self-destructive charade for the sake of the team.

So, "coaches" of the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee: Hash things out this Saturday — please — and end this absurd exercise in self-sabotage! Hopefully, the losing scrimmage squad will remember that there may be an "I in "Hillary," but there isn't one in "Team." Get with it (and on it), so we can beat Duke!

Isn't Clinton telling Puerto Rico that she's going to instate them as the 51st state of the Union? And aren't they opposed to that? Someone please clarify.

When you read how he won in chicago, he will tell superdelegates to disreguard any PR votes as they don't count in the final election. New Type of Politics coming your way soon.

puerto rico? uhm, well, good for them and for her. they'll not going to be enough to overcome sen. obama's lead, though. mrs. pelosi will very soon step in and stop hillary's nonsense for sure. i'm still baffled as to why she wants to extend her delusional campaign and people like most puerto ricans latch on to her like… hillary's really bent on destroying the party for sure. i really can't wait for this to end by next week.

In short, who cares?!?! Republicans don't even bother with holding primaries in Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans don't vote in the general election and don't consider themselves Americans. They consider themselves Puerto Ricans!

A victory by Hillary just gives her more empty talking points. She can claim she won in US territory where Spanish is spoken by more than half the population.

But if Obama wins Puerto Rico what will the Clinton spin be?

Hillary should keep going..the voters clearly want her to. This is not what is dividing the party and creating bitterness. It is comments like Roland Martin's and other Obama supporters int he Media that are creating and fueling divisiveness. Let the voters decide, let the DNC make a FAIR decision about Michigan and Florida, and let the primaries continue. Hillary is no the enemy..she has done nothing to hurt this party, this country or the world. In fact, her staying int he race has made OBama realize how much work he must do to gain credibility and substance, to counter GOP attacks. Gracias, Hillary! and Viva PR!!!

Wow – more of Hillary's stupid photo-ops, drinking beers in bars.

Incredible, she must think that we're all stupid.

America, for the love of heaven, please don't against someone (just because you dislike their skin color or their middle name).

ANYONE but Hillary in 2008. Let's not give this two-face any more power than she already has, to make more idiotic votes like her helping to authorize the Iraq war.

Here is another example of who the majority of people prefer. HILLARY!

Back in 2000 – when I smelled some Bush – I became a Recovering Republican.

Now my fellow Democrats are loosing the MANDATE OF THE PEOPLE by ignoring the will of Florida and Michigan. How is that different from 2004?

What am I going to call myself next – Recovering Repocrat?

Too bad she's so far behind that it won't even make a dent.

BIG MONEY TO DECIDE THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, VOTERS WILL NOT
Added 2 days ago on May 27th, 2008
In February, the Center for Responsive Politics reported that Sen. Obama's political action committee had given $694,000 to superdelegates in the previous three years. Of the 81 who had announced their support for Obama at the time, 34 had received donations totaling $228,000. Can we, hypocrisy-free, tout this contradictory "CHANGE" message? The nomination, will likely prove to be a case of "getting what you PAID for" in terms of superdelegates. Unfortunately for the majority of american voters, it will be a case of "not getting what you asked for" in terms of the most popular vote. There is something rather dis-satisfying about being stuck with a purchase, that you overwhelmingly disagree and disapprove. Also, this purchase comes with no guarantee and has NO warranty for November. There is a limited-time exchange policy accompanying this purchase and is NON-REFUNDABLE. Sadly, the SuperDelegates leave the Democratic Voters with nothing but a lousy "gift receipt". And a lousy gift indeed……. a divided party, escalated racism, sexism, threat of terrorism, an unpredictable future globally and economically, and more importantly, a Republican Presidency: served on a silver platter with a matching spoon. Hardly seems worth shoving a candidate with no experience, excessive liabilities ranging from racists, terrorists, criminal slumlords, to crazy pastors and separatist church affilliations…..down the throats of voters without any regard for the consequences of such negligence. This reality won't require much HOPE.

Popular votes doesn't count!!!! Hillary, look at the rules!!!! And in her math she never counts "popular" votes in caucus states!!! Whats with this kind of math???? Hillary, please get out!!! She is destroying the democratic party and her political career!!! Math is math!!!! She's loosing and she's cheating in Mich and FL!!!!

Obama is ahead clinton in democrats surveys 50-43, he is finally ahead on mcain electoral votes 271-262 (usa election.com), so what are we waiting! Obama 08

so she ll probably win by 200,000 votes.. if your a hillary clinton supporter. This basically means she won the popular vote if you dont even count michigan.

Yes thats right, Clinton can win the popular vote with out even counting a state she won.

How much more do you need

Clinton has looked so tired lately. It's nice to see her looking relaxed and happy for a change.

I AM A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT BUT I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN + $10 GAS + 100 MORE YEARS IN IRAQ + NO HEALTHCARE + OVERTURNING OF ROE VS WADE EVEN THOUGH OBAMA AND HILLARY'S POLICY'S ARE NEAR IDENTICAL….

BECAUSE…

BECAUSE…

BECAUSE…???

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE MEAN!

I DONT CARE FL AND MI BROKE PARTY RULES. I DONT CARE ABOUT THOSE WHO DIDNT VOTE IN FL AND MI. I DONT CARE ABOUT THE CAUCUS STATE VOTERS. I DONT CARE ABOUT THE DAMAGE TO THE PARTY'S UNITY. IF HILLARY IS NOT NOMINATED I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN….BECAUSE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE MEAN!

THAT'LL TEACH YOU!

(end sacrasm)

Another photo op with a bottle of Beer. She can down a bottle just like any man.

Hillary's campaign manager, Harold Ickes, is a member of the DNC Committee that meets Saturday to determine the status of Florida and Michigan. He has an obvious conflict of interest and should be made to absent himself from the process.

ummm, who cares?

I guess the silent treatment from both McCain and Obama are making CNN upset so they have to the voice of the Clinton camp.

*Going back to ignoring Clinton*

which woman drinks out of the bottle?

She's courting those FALN votes.

I wonder if Hillary will include Puerto Rico votes in her 'popular vote' quest. Seeing as they can't vote in the General!

It might look like a big win,but it won't help anything.Enough superdelegates will do the right thing and go with the pledged delegates to put Obama over the top even if the DNC moves the goalposts in saturday's meeting.Obama will get 35-40% of delegates in Puerto Rico and he will win South Dakota and Montana to finish the race.This popular vote count that she boasts is only by her math anyway.Caucus' dont count for anything according to her.I bet if a caucus helped her win it would be the greatest thing since toilet tissue.

Good for her and if they seat Florida/Michigan accordingly she could come out with the popular vote and the delagate count to the nomination goes higher. She might be able to take this all the way to the convention and Pelosi won't be able to do a dam thing.

Yawn.

And she's 200 +or- delegates behind. Puerto Rico can't vote in the general election, so what happened to Clinton's weird counting? Shouldn't this one be irrelevant by her own tortured counting system?

Or does she have yet another new rule? What nonsense.

who cares, this thing is over. sorry a^* billary

Poor Hillary, She lost so much:
The support of senators who backed in her bid for the Presidency
The respect of her campaign team who threw her under the bus,
The confident of her husband ( without the blue dress )
The Kennedy family Who now hates her
women in general ,( who thinks she had a sex change and is neither male nor female
Blacks who she constantly insults( at least those educated enough to recognize it
Donors who feels that she is really vying for GOP VP.
The Rednecks who dislikes her thirst for Canadian whiskey
white working American, they know she is behind NAFTA………………/…

Sucks that Puerto Rico has no vote in the general election, doesn't it?

Mooney, don't you have anything else to write about? That photo is OLD – it was used by Anderson Cooper last week in the 360 beat photo caption contest.

I think we all knew that she would take Puerto Rico, and Obama will take Montana and South Dakota, then this will all be over and Obama will be our nominee!!

Obama Richardson 2008

You know you can't win the General Election with out winning in Puerto Rico. Yeah for you!

Who cares. She can't win the nomination. Her campaign is only dividig the party. HRC, please consider party unity over your ambitions. Suspend your campaign and work to unite the party.

DELUSIONS …. DELUSIONS… PUERTO RICO DOES NOT VOTE IN NOVEMBER……..ALL HILLARY IS DOING IS MAKING PEOPLE DISLIKE HER MORE AND MORE FOR DEVIDING DEM PARTY.

SHE LOST LONG TIME AGO.

FORMER FEMALE HILLARY SUPPORTER.

Update your math power.
OBAMAAAAAA '08/'12

Yes you will Hillary….All the way to the convention, if need be!!

SOO! she cant win, she will loose 2 remaining contest, she trails in superdelegates, delegates, and also popular vote if we count florida but not michigan where barack obama was not in the ballot, shes desperate, what else can we say,better wite about 4 new superdelegates on obamas favor to have a new total of 1982, 42 to go

QUIT HILLARY!

who cares? a poll from nearly a month ago? Why can't these pollsters… in this age of instant news sharing… have something from YESTERDAY?

I think these old polls and media hype about them just further the problems created by Hillary Clinton's refusal to accept defeat. She can win PR. SO WHAT? She's already lost the primary.

GO AWAY! Drinking beer with the blue collar doesn't make you blue collar. I think it is called "Let's Pretend."

I will be glad to not see a pant suit for quite a while. Do real people really wear those.

Puerto Rico does not vote in the general election. The last time I checked news channels do not count the votes of any of these contests.

o goody now i know shes more electable, way to divide the party, keep doing the terrible job u evil woman.

WHO CARES?

This is great! After she wins this will be her end!!!

she'll be watching the news after June 4th about Obama and McSame!

Best of luck Hillary! It's gotta hurt to win only to lose!

Go Obama!

Big deal–

they do not want statehood yet want to influence our politics.

HHMMMMM-

Sorta of like letting those who live abroad for the past 10 years vote because they kept their cittizenship.

They do not want to live here but influence our country-

What;s next- maybe we let prisoners vote!!!

OF COURSE, SHE CAN DRINK AND BE DRUNK IN OFFCE FROM DAY ONE!!!

Thanks to Hillary, Puerto Ricans will get to have their voices heard. Good job Hillary. We love you!

Good. Maybe she will move there and retire after her June 3rd defeats in South Dakota and Montana.

Obama 08

MORE DRINKS?…. is this what the campaign has driven you to do?

Well, you'll have lots of free time now! Drink 'til your hearts desire!!

SEE YOU BACK IN THE SEN. ON THE DEM'S TEEM and hope you don't turn into Leiberman

WHo cares? I hope she makes their votes count in the general election. Ah Hilary goes, so goes Puerto Rico. State of denial!

lmao..ok..thats it. They are serving her domincan beer in puerto rico. She's sure to lose the nominee now. lol..give it up, lady.

OBAMA 08′/12′

God bless her! Then will she leave?

And who the hell cares? They DON'T VOTE in November. Plus, she's suppose to have the lead in PR, it's NO surprise or new news here. Geeez, where is the sanity here?

The question NOW is …… Hillary Clinton who? Both Sen. McShame and Sen. Obama have not mentioned her in 4+ weeks. So that should tell the residents of PR that their double-digit candidate has lost the nomination 3 weeks ago!

But you know what, let people learn the HARD way, just like Sen. Clinton herself. She wants to play "HARD BALL", so be it. Wait till this HARD BALL falls right down on her and Bill Clinton's head. Then they will once again BLAME everyone else for their official nomination lost yet again.

We ALL know that when the DNC announces Sen. Obama as the nominee, the Clintons are going to start playing the "blame game" all over again.

Thats good, but Puerto Rico doesn't vote in the General Election so all this primary is…..is an ego boost for Clinton imo (in my opinion)

How many electoral votes does Puerto Rico have???????

If you caught Hillarys stump there you are aware all the promises she made there….of couse she promised the American Indians positions in the White House too. Say anything, do anything, Hillary.

It won't matter though cuz she still can't catch up, P.R. doesn't vote in the GE…..and, what is the P.R. educational level??? From the picture it looks like buy them a beer and you got thier vote. Can Hillary's campaign afford that much beer?

OBAMA 08.12 !!!

AMERICA LUVS OBAMA!

AND

AND THE FACT THAT PUERTO RICO HAS MORE DELEGATES TO AWARD THAN OREGON, KENTUCKY OR W.VIRGINIA MAKES
NO SENSE AT ALL !!! WHO DREAMED UP THIS PROCESS ???

Sorry Hillary, it's still not going to help you !. Have another beer .

SO ?????
NICE PLACE FOR A SUN TAN, CAN'T VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
ENJOY THE BEACHES CLINTONS, ITS OVER.

Hillary won West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico (expected) by a wide margin. Obviously, America has spoken. Never mind the 32 other states that voted Obama. Nevermind the total delegate count. Nevermind Hillary had over 125 superdelegate lead that evaporated over the past two months. Nevermind the popular vote lead, despite Hillary's insistance that caucus states don't count (or how she can dismiss the voters from those states while pleading for FL and MI).

Go Hillary! You have more votes than any Democrat in primary history! Cream Obama in Puerto Rico! You can still win! Get the supers to vote for you! The most electable and inspiring candidate. Take it to the Convention and Whoop Obama! You can do it! Don't let the media scare you out of this race. Fight On!

WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!! They can't vote in the Gen Election.. They are on a island.. they don't care about American Politics

Read this article on CNN.com and enlighten yourself to the real Obama. You know that person who wants change and to stay away from old style politics. Only proves that there are more lies and falsehoods about what he is really like.

"Obama played hardball in Chicago race"

It is odd that PR has so many delegates when they have no electoral votes.

Wait wait wait a second…I thought Hillary said small states dont matter…I thought she said that its the electoral college that counts…so where does Puerto Rico fit into all of this? I dont hate Hillary however if you guys cant see her flip flopping and changing the metrics every week you are not only blind youre the reason why Bush was elected TWICE!! LOL

Of course she does, she has spent an enormous amount of time and resources in there, and Bill Clinton and Chelsea have been campaigning there for her for a long time, all of this just so she can claim a majority of the popular vote, wich should be insignificant since Puerto Rico does not participate in the General Election . While Obama has focused a lot more in the General Election campaign.

SO? it means nothing PR can't even vote in the GE.

my question is how is old girl, bill and chelsea able to afford all these trips to PR. They are already over 30 million in debt. that's eating away at Chelsea's inheritance which she will need since her mom is ruining any chance that people will elect Chelsea for anything in the future.

OBAMA WILL STILL BE THE NOMINEE!!!

She is a genuine and sincere candidate for the people. I hope the Puerto Ricans give her their full support.

Too little, too late.

The day the Clintons go away, I will throw a huge party.

After what Bill Clinton did, I never imagined they will resurface in this way. What a great shame that morality in America has been reduced to the level of welcoming back a family that has ruined so many lives in their quest for power.

WHO CARES?????????

THEY CAN'T VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, AND ITS AMAZING THEY EVEN GET TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIMARY PROCESS !!

WHY DON'T WE ASK BARBADOS OR MAYBE TRINIDAD TO HOLD SOME PRIMARIES NEXT TIME, TOO?? MAKES AS MUCH SENSE.

LET HER HAVE PUERTO RICO

BUT COULD SHE PLEASE STAY THERE FOREVER?

I hope that she moves there so that she will be out of our hair.
Obama08 and 12
NoMcSame
NoBillary

what a lush, lol.

Puerto Rico's inclusion is just odd. They can't vote in November but can vote in the primary. I don't really care either way, but it should be one or the other.

Double digit lead that takes her to no where. Day Dreamer

good for you HRC so move there. Barack has won it go away already, Clinton the last step of denial.

I don't know what Hillary is celebrating, but I noticed lately she loves her "suds." Can campaigning drive one to the "spirit of the barley?"

Yaaaaaawwwwn. That's nice.

Now can we hurry up and get this over with so Obama can move on to the general election? Mrs. Clinton has taken up enough valuable time and resources with her bizzare behavior. Time for the REAL candidates to start running.

Ah her last day in the sun…. then it sets…. FINALLY

to quote a war-criminal we are thankfully almost rid of: SO!?!!?!?

hillary it's time for you to start repairing the damage you've done to the democratic party and this country. and it's time for you to appeal to your loons who wont vote for a DEMOCRAT if you're not the nominee.

if you vote for mccain you are as guilty and responsible for the deaths of our troops who will continue to die in this FARCE of a war. and the new invasion he promises in iran. for god's sakes, the guy joked and sang BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN, that is SICK!!!!

dont kill any more of our troops, dont vote for mcsame!! and you people who say you will stay home and not vote make me sick, you supported the criminals who sent them off to fight for our FREEDOM, and then you insult them by not voting!?!?! that is DISGUSTING!!!!

VOTE DEMOCRAT, no matter who it is.

And this is important because…

P.R. cannot vote in the general…

However, I would bet that Billary is going to lie and say they can or will be able to vote by November.

Well, as the crys continue to flow from the Clinton camp about how unfairly they have been treated. I say if you wanted fair, you should not have had your husband and daughter out their on the campaign trail. The Clinton campaign had all the advantages. A well know President, a cry baby daughter that you cannot help but feel sorry for and they all go up against Obama and him only.

Now, when you had the lead and a huge lead at that, there was no cry to count FL & MI in the primary. Only when you lost your lead because America figured out the lies she tells are they crying foul.

Give it a rest. Puerto Rico does not matter in the General Election as it has been put so what the heck is the boost in the popular vote count here about. They cannot vote in the General Election.

Give it up Clinton and go home.

There she is again, drinking herself to victory.
hahaha.
What a lush!
What a picture. Where are the women?
Hmmm………………..?
Nice fan club Hitlery

Who cares this is not news the game is over. This remaining three contests are not going to change anything, So Wolf give us some other important news.

GREAT !!! They can't vote in the General election….hardly seems fair that they should have Delegates that count !!!! Maybe with this win she will decided to do what is BEST for the Party???

Come on Puerto Rico – show up for Hillary and she'll make sure your votes count in the future. She is the true candidate of change.

Something tells me her lead in polls as of this very moment is dwindling considerably in Puerto Rico. I doubt she will be able to run up the score on her popular vote margin considerably. "The general election fight should start next week…"

Poor Puerto Rico, still living in the '90s eh? It doesn't matter in the General Election anyways. Hopefully she will take this as an opportunity to leave on a high note but knowing Hillarity.. So she's only ahead by 13% eh? That's a smaller lead than in West Virginia and Kentucky and Obama will win by more than that in Montana and South Dakota and they DO matter in the general election! If Barack went down there and just hung out campaigning, he would reduce that just like he did in Pennsylvania, from 20% down to 9%. He can afford to sit back and let her gloat over a meaningless win, it's all she has left sadly.

Obama/Sebelius '08!!

I fail to understand why they are included in the primaries, but not the general election??? Its easy to pander to people who are not as well tuned into what is really going on here in the states. The use of an interpreter is needed to communicate and there is always something lost along those lines. I just want this to end….give her PR….and lets move on.

and this is news because……..?

Nice – where is the story about Barack's lead in both Montana and South Dakota? Fair and balanced reporting, remember?

Race is not Over !!!!!!!!
Hillary lead in the popular votes
Only Hillary can win Mc Cain in November
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

I hope Puerto Rico offers Sen Clinton the graceful exit everyone is talking about!!!

And Obama has significant leads (i.e. double digits) in Montana and South Dakota.

But that isn't news I guess and doesn't fit the Clinton News Networks profile for "news".

Women for Obama.

Will she use Puerto Rico to establish her electoral count argument?

Good luck trying to spin that one, though with Hillary, you never know.

who cares!!!

I hope Puerto Rico offer Sen Clinton the graceful exit everyone is talking about!!!

How many photos have we seen of Hillary drinking? Maybe that's why she doesn't seem to know what's going on. ….she's plastered all the time.

Congrats to her – amazing how she counts Puerto Rico in the Popular Vote as part of her GE argument but doesn't count 12 Caucus only states for anything and gives Obama 0 votes in MI and calls that "fair"

And though the "sexism" arguement was good and somewhat true, it's not like Obama had an easy road with all the Wright controversy going on – twice!

I'm looking forward to another "coverup" consipracy from Bill though =)

Are we gonna let Puerto Rico determine who our next President will be? They can't even vote in the general election!

Way to go Senator Clinton. I hope you win Puerto Rico by a landslide. You still could be our nominee and I am not going to give up on you just as I know you will not give up on us. WE WANT YOU TO BE THE NOMINEE TO RUN AGAINST JOHN McCAIN. I will keep supporting you all the way to the convention. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!

And here I thought the people of PR had sense.

I guess not. Way to go, PR…you've condone evil incarnate.

YAWN

She is doing great in the PR. Hope she is enjoying herself.

So?

Good for her!!

Keep it up Hillary!

Ok and when will she bow out?

Hillary don't give up……You are the one America and the world needs now. Pelosi stop comfirming that democracy is dead in America.

Who cares! Hillary, start drinking now cuz you're not gonna be our next president.

Buy my vote !

This nomination is decided, Puerto Rico over writes reality.

Well, one thing is clear. Hillary will win Puerto Rico's electoral votes in the Fall.

Oh, wait. Puerto Rico has no electoral votes.

Well… That changes everything.

In related news, Clinton has a double digit case of denial.

Doesn't matter how big of a lead you have on an island that cant vote in the general. You will not have the delegates you need, please go home so our nominee can get work against McCain.

Puerto Rico doesn't even vote in the general election, so who cares? CNN scrapes the bottom of the Clintons' barrel, again.
