Clinton: 'This is Puerto Rico's time'
CAGUAS, Puerto Rico (CNN) - Hillary Clinton’s campaign embarked on a jam-packed day of Puerto Rico campaigning Saturday in an effort to get out tomorrow’s primary vote as a Democratic National Committee panel convened in Washington to essentially decide how the Democratic primary process will end.
A Clinton aide said she will likely receive updates from staff at the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting.
Clinton made no mention of the fight to seat the Florida and Michigan delegations during her first stop at a hospital where she talked about her plan to bring equitable and universal health care to Puerto Rico.
Several supporters addressed her as “President Clinton,” prompting cheers from the crowd.
Puerto Rico is not only important to Clinton’s presidential aspirations but also as a senator from New York who represents approximately 1 million Puerto Ricans.
“Campaigning in Puerto Rico is like one long Puerto Rican Day parade,” she said referencing a yearly event in New York City.
Clinton will spend the day “caravanning,” a Puerto Rican political tradition in which the candidate rides through various communities meeting and greeting voters and produces a wild and carnival-like atmosphere.
“I’m dressed for our caravanning,” Clinton said, referring to her festive purple top.
Clinton arrived in San Juan Friday night for a seaside festive rally near a Pina Colada stand.
“I want to see Puerto Rico’s status resolved within my first term,” she said. “I have loved campaigning through Puerto Rico because I believe this is Puerto Rico’s time, that you have waited long enough.”

Hillary all the way...............08.............12..................
The way this woman morphs while in every state is truly unbeleivable, even more so that each state she's in buys her crap. Now she's promising them statehood, why didn't her husband do it during his 8 years?
Hillary for President............the real deal.................period
Go Hillary Go!!
Hillary for President!!
Backing a losing candidate for the nomination would certainly be counter-productive.
Hillary for sure...she has the Knowledge,Skills and ability.
"And if you vote for me I will promise you the moon and will continue to pander to you every day for eight years. Can I get a shot of whiskey? Not only will I make you the 51st state, but i will ensure that you get to hold your primary before those ingrates from Iowa. Vote for the Panderer in Chief. See you in November...what? You don't get to vote in November? Screw it, where's my shot?"
OH BROTHER !..This woman is really something else. Relentlessly delusional.
OBAMA 08'/12'
It's obvious that Hillary loves campaigning for the American people. Maybe she can get another 6 months of positive campaigning in...by uniting behind Obama and campaigning for the democratic party!
Viva Puerto Rico! Viva Hillary!
that's the Clinton, we have gotten to know, that will do and say anything to receive a vote, and now she will wear what ever to.
They can't vote in the general election so why should Puerto Ricans care?
More empty promises and the PR's will fall...hook, line, and sinker. What is the education level of the PR's anyway...how informed are they...really? How many have computers? So Hillary wants to resolve whatever PR's issues are in her first term....lets see, how many promises has she made state by state for her first term?
In either case...it won't matter. Hillary you loose. Go home, go away, you and Bill are completely deranged.
Real change in America will only come from Barack Obama.
OMABA 08/12 !!!
I tell you Hillary I've waited long enough for is for you to get vetted.
Your supporters need to know who you are so we can unity. I truly feel for them b/c they've been deceived.
1. Peter Paul v. Clinton

All indications show that no more than half a million people will show up to vote, and Clinton is leading by 10+ points.
That isn't going to be enough to give her the popular vote lead that she DOES NOT have now.
She will win 100,000+ votes in Puerto Rico, then Obama will take most of that back in Montana, the vote in South Dakota will be too close to give her any kind of real breakaway in vote.
Puerto Rico isn't going to give her a big enough boost, and they can't vote in the General Election anyway.
Obama WILL get allocated popular vote in Michigan which will put him so far ahead she can't catch him.
Obama WON on all fronts. There is nothing more to it.
Hillary, I don't care if you leave as a party hero or if you leave in disgrace but JUST LEAVE.
HRC supporters, you now see how deluded you've been... Not anyones fault but yours because you bought a LIE
Take it all the way to the convention Hillary!!
The DNC and the media has been railroading you from day one!!
We the people will decide in November and it won't be Obama!!
Let's hear it for Hillary - next President of the U.S.!!!!!
Her smiles are hilarious...they look so contrived.
It's no longer your time Hillary............please go back to NYC and unite the party!
Geez, Hillary speaks the "truth" FINALLY!!!
Yeah it's Puerto Rico's "time" cause they can't vote in the general election!!! How strange is it that they actually have a hand in this nominee process and NO VOTE in the general?
So go ahead Ms. Delusional and bask in your light one last time on Sunday, cause after that YOU ARE SO DONE!!! Thank God and good riddance.
Puerto Rico,Only see Bill Clinton when they see her,she is riding of
her husband background. latino are very easy to be influence by
their own peoples across american,they follow the will of the influence. Hillary you need to step down and puerto rico will vote
for Obama and he will win.
Florida and michigan proved that politicans do not need to spend
a lot of money on advertising for them to know who to vote for. Florida and Michigan's votes should count. Even a write -in vote counts. This
should also prove that the News Media does a good job in informing
people about politicans. Give the News Media credit.
Thank You, Jim Carroll Internet Free Press
Hey Hillary good thing Puerto Rico is a state and votes in the general!
O wait they are not!!
