CNN

Some people have things right before their very eyes, but does not see them. The house market problem; the gas, it is at sky high prices; the economy is not at its best; the wars in Irak and Afganistan, and many more problems we are facing everyday.

Change, a rhetoric that Obama has been using all along his campain. The campain of "change." I wish you luck and the very best to you, all the followers of Obama. He is an extremist radical, it is what many people does not see.

Never the less, you are giving to Obama the entire United States of America; this great country, on a golden plate, at his disposition and free use to destroy it. I do not believe he has a magic stick to magically "change" all the problems we are facing day-to-day.

Moreover, I have been a Democrat for 28 years, if Obama gets the nomination; I'm sad to say this, but I will vote for Mr. McCain in November. I'm not going to cross his name and write Hillary instead. I want my vote to be counted this time.

Good luck to all of us!!!

Hillary does not know when to quit even when the math and the delegates are not with her. She twists her positions depending upon what is favorable to her. Who wants a flip flopper whose primary focus is herself? Her fuzzy thinking is filled with half truths and untruths, like her popular vote "lead". She's more interested in winning no matter what the costs than in the truth about who leads the party.

The DNC voted for Obama to become our nominee. They did not care about the voters. HIllary Clinton has own the popular vote and superdelegates should follow popular vote if they want to have a chance in November but I suspect they will not. In which case I will vote for Hillary by simply crossing out Obama and putting in HIllary.

The DNC did no such thing. Obama has won the popular vote, and is only

I must say I am amazed at the comments in this blog. For those of you who pretend to Democratic voters and will vote for McCain if Hillary is not the Presidential nominee of the party.......by all means take your hostility and vote for McCain and against your best interests.
To those who seemingly don't understand that the person with the most "delegates" wins the democratic nomination for President.....may I suggest you relearn the rules of the Democratic Party and the threshold number needed to win the nomination.
And to those who have offered comments regarding the handling of the Florida and Michigan primaries I highly recommend you tuck your emotions and do some meaningful research about the core and real issues in both States that led to the DNC having to make the decisions they did.
To the rest of the hysterics for Clinton.........get a grip, calm down, take a deep breath and realize it is over. The world will not end. Hillary, if she plays her cards right this time ( as opposed to the manner in which she blew her primary campaign), can almost write her own ticket with the Obama Campaign.........the question is: is she smart enough to take advantage of the opportunity she will be given......and will those that have supported her campaign also get smart and take advantage of Hillary's choices?

If it wasn't for Bill Clinton's popularity among the Latinos Hillary will not win by this large margin. Also, for some reason, some Latinos are not very kind to people who have darker skin than themselves. I am white, but this fact troubles me very much and my hope is that Obama as our next president s will bring all peoples together, whites, blacks and browns in unity. He will treat these infections that seperate us and heal our nation.
Hillary today in San Juan, Puerto Rico repeated the word "Fight" 5 – 6 times. She does like to fight. We had Bush who like to fight and proved it for the past 8 years. We have a military man McCain, who wants to continue the "fight" maybe 100 years. He is comfortable fighting...
Now Hillary is suggesting to continue "fighting" too...

I Have Seen War I Hate War!

Obama Will not be the next president if he gets the nomination its OVER for the democratic party so We Will WELCOME OUR NEW PRESIDENT MISTER " JOHN McCAIN" obama alone can't winn sorry obamatons

...not exactly 'neck and neck'. She won 68% to 32%. And I would just like to say something about the sexism is this race. When Ted Kennedy ran for office, he was over 700 delegates behind. He went all the way to the convention and NOBODY was screaming for over 2 months for him to get the hell out. This whole primary has been screwed up from day 1. No wonder there is so much vitrial and divisiveness. I swear, the Democrates will never learn.

She didn't win big. She LOST BIG! This race is over. Its been over. She's just too stubborn to admit Obama has already defeated her more then a year ago now. A Hillary win, is a Hillary Loss. Period, end of story. She's done. Its time she gets her head out of the clouds and realizes the reality and accept her fate that's been dealt to her. Obama is the Democratic Nominee, period. Enough already with this Hillary propoganda. Its Over!

Obama supporters – don't feel so good, he can't win the votes were it counts. Big win in Nov. for John McCain. You Hillary haters will just insure a loss for the Democrats.
The RBC took delegates from Hillary and gave them to Obama, and sits there smugly askng for unity....not a chance.

Hill's website claims that "Hillary has consistently stood up for the voters of Florida and Michigan." This is a bald-faced lie. She said originally in unequivocal terms that the primaries would not count.

Why are people so enamored of her? Do they admire a liar? That could be a good bumper sticker.

wth,, she is scary,,
seems like she is wearing nappies,, ohhh look at me !!
she n her husband r biggest racist in usa n they work for zionist israeli regime,,
go obama go

Okay and.........yea nothing.

Can we just move on with what matters now?

Obama '08!

She won because of her universal appeal. Just remember that there are more Puerto Ricans in the 50 states than there are in Puerto Rico.

Clinton is the better candidate with a better chance to win against McCain in the general election.

I want to see a Clinton write in or a third party.

why did they not count popluar votes for Al Gore against Bush???tell me America.
Why can Clinton use Popular votes to win as a Nominee?
Are we still figuring out how to hold elections?

Another fantastic win for Hillary Clinton. I am so looking forward to seeing her as our next President. Please keep fighting for us Hillary and we will stand behind you all the way to the White House. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!

How did she win big? The same way she won big in Michigan. She ran against herself.

This is like watching a sports team in denial over losing the finals. The fans have left, the media has left, and most importantly – your opponent is in the clubhouse celebrating. Still, you linger on the field of play waiting for the next whistle. It's over – got it? Sometimes you lose... or to be charitable – sometimes you just run out of time. The nomination process, your political career – done... finished... kaput. Got it?

Since the boat for exiting gracefully has clearly sailed – just get out.

Hillary stop dreaming, your future life is been falling apart, you wont be on the dream ticket, I am guessing there will be a lady on the ticket but not you.

Keep going, Hillary. There are way too many people out there who will not vote in November unless you are on the ticket.

I hope this will give Senator Clinton the emotional security to concede gracefully once all the primaries are over.

She told them she would grant them statehood. This woman will sell her soul for the nomination. Sad!!!

I believe Hillary won PR b/c of Bill. The Clinton voters that wishes to vote for John instead of Obama should think twice when they're at the GAS PUMP!!! B/C I Do!! Get Over It and ReUNITE this Party.

Let's see...I guess it makes it easy for her to claim she wins the "popular" vote because she is running on the coattails of her infamous husband and former president, Bill. With that being said, had she been on an even scale as Obama, I am sure the story would be a lot different.

Let me give Senator Clinton her due – she is a great candidate. But after all of the bickering, whining, and pandering for votes, I would have to say that my respect and tolerance for her campaign has diminished below zero. She has found more ways to put "spin" on politics than her husband...I do say they make the perfect couple. Good luck to Senator Clinton in the off-season.

Democrats: Let's unite and rally behind the guy I'd like to see as our next president – Barack Obama!

Fired up! Ready to go!

Ok, I bought myself some nice party favors and a bottle of wine. All of you are invited to my "Sayonara Hillary" fiesta on Tuesday night. Just follow the clues.

I've had enough of the Dems choosing the lamest candidate for the last two elections just to appease the whiners of the group. Get out of my party. You are not invited.

Look at her pictures from PR? Are you certain she does not inhale?

The more you look at her the more worried you get about her conscience. The Clintons have no sense of right and wrong. In the name of carrying on the the end as is her right both the Clintons have shown how shallow their interpretation of right and wrong is.

Senator Clinton has proven that she is the stronger candidate, despite the obvious media bias.
Obama can not win in the states that a Democrat must win, in order to obtain the White House in November. He has not been able to compete with her in most of the important states that democrats must carry in the fall.
The democrats will be setting themselves up again (just like with Kerry) and will loose an election they should win, if the inexperienced Senator Obama, is put up against John McCain. He is the wrong candidate at this time if we do not want another 4 years of Republicans.

Why did she win so big? That's easy – latinos/hispanics & black people don't get along so well.

I cannot believe how nasty Obama supporters are towards a fellow democrat. Shame on you!

Who cares about Puerto Rico. Most don't even understand English nor pay taxes. How can they research on the candidates if they don't even understand our government, laws, etc...

Thank you Obama for campaigning in states that matter in the GE.

AND HOW MANY PUERTO RICANS ACTUALLY SHOWED UP TO VOTE?

M.C. June 1st, 2008 3:36 pm ET: ? o_O

The Clintons have some very strong connections in Puerto Rico, from Bill's 1999 Pardoning of the 11 FALN Members. The GOP and McCain were certain to use it IF she became the Nominee. There are no National Security Brownie points there!!!

Yes, apparently, they have some loyalist in Puerto Rico yet.

One step at a time.

Women who love women. Did you see them crying and screaming yesterday? I hope they see themselves on TV and realize just how bad they make women look. I am ashamed of my gender.

sally from cal.

No, the democratic party will be responsibile for losing to McCain in November? Why, because they screwed up in Florida and Mich. They should have made that decesion right away when they broke the rules.

Now, all the democratic party did was tick off alot of voters. You know what, who wants to belong to a party that doesn't think their vote counts. And thats exactly what the democratic party did. They ignored those states votes until they had no choice. They didn't care.

Thus, they will lose the election from their own aragonce.

Go Hillary.

AND, oboma could care less about those two states also. Let those states decide who wins in november. It won't be Oboma after the way he treated them.

Dan

ONE MORE PRO OBAMA COMMMENTARY BY CNN.THE VICTORY HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH HILLARY.IS THEIR ANYBODY AT CNN AT LOVE THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RACIST HILLARY IS RUNNING AGAINST?ALL YOU ALL COWARDS-EVERYONE OF YOU?

YES!!!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO!
YOU ARE THE STRONGER CANDIDATE TO WIN!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Ugh!
Once this is iover I hope I never hear the name Hillary again.
Or have to see her face or hear her screeching.
Puerto Rico? So what?
I have gotten an ulcer from this campaign. Can I sue for damages?

By the way I support Obama and i am fairly bitter and dissapointed by the face shown by Hillary Clinton throughout this primaries as i use to respect her.
However i am willing to support a joint ticket if it would make the case stronger for a democratic victory in nov.

Give credit where credit is due. Hillary is the people's choice and we don't choose Obama!

Why worry about the present election when we can get a head start worrying about the future! The results of this primary reflect one of the most worrisome trends in current American politics; the rapidly forming schism between black and hispanic voters. We first saw it in Nevada. A vicious combination of racism and political competition is emerging and the Democratic party is likely to be only the first of its casualities.

Voters unite for McCain if the dumb Dems make Obama their nominee.

Hillary is the best candidate but if the foolish Dems make Obama the nominee Mccain will win and this Dem will support him!

You Obama Fans need the Clinton's and their supporters, we still have the upper hand and I hate to say it but if you think long and hard... it really is up to the Clinton's now to unite the party so therefor there is nothing you can do to hurt us anymore, but we can make your life miserable for 4 years by voting for McCain even if we are in the same place as you it could be worth it

Meaningless

So she won Puerto Rico – big deal. If she manages to get the nomination, let's see how many votes she'll get from there in the general election? Oh that's right ZERO because PR isn't a state that can vote in the general. This was a meaningless primary.

Let's go Obama

Hillary all the way.............................08........................................................

That's funny! Hillary will run as an independent. With what campaign money? Didn't she run the first campaign in the ditch with the coffee and donut bill. Come on people look at where our economy is, do want a person who can't keep their campaign in the black running this country?

"If all the primary results including Florida and Michigan are counted, but not the caucus votes, Clinton leads in the popular vote 17,461,845 to Obama's 17,244,762, according to CNN estimates."

"In a second scenario, which adds in CNN's estimate of the caucus-goers, Obama leads Clinton 17,928,000 to 17,843,000."

To claim that Clinton has the popular vote is simply a bald faced lie. "I have the popular vote when you count the state where I was the only one on the ballot, and don't count any of the caucus states." Sounds like a winning argument that will surely win over those 96% of remaining superdelegates that Clinton needs, LOL.

Get this loser outta here.

Dems. party, how soon we forget be real most people know that Obama will NOT WIN come the general election let go of this show which will end tuesday remember one president WALTER MONDALE who only won the greate state of MINNESOTA, during his time like some have said that "THIS IS OUR TIME" time of couse that is if OBAMA win the state of ILL. will all these Obama supporter be around come NOVERBER or is it to stop Hillary from been the next PRESIDENT ? Think AMERICA.

Go MI Voter! You got that right. We will make sure Obama doesn't get in the White House.

All you Obama supporters don't realize the wrath that is about to be unleased from the Clinton supporters who feel they have been robbed.

We will support McCain. At least he has some experience and tells us like it is. We know what we are getting with McCain, he doesn't have anything to hide.

Obama offers change. What kind of change? Change in your pocket and that is about it.

Go Hillary!! Let's hope the super delegates do the right thing and give the nomination to the best candidate! gracias Puerto Rico!

Hillary '08

Americians the world is watching you more now than ever. Hate is a choosen fact don't let everyone know that you can't grow.

Congratulations to Hillary !
With the name recognition, the 7 days campagning there (1 day for Obama) and the 3 to 1 outspending, we could say it was expected.

Factor in that the turnout was 19% and that they can't vote in the GE.

Factor in that Obama campaigned in Montana and SD and you know then why he will be the nominee.

On an another note, i am tempted to think that a joint ticket would be a good thing for november and the democrats and on the other hand i am afraid that it could undermine the winning message of change vs 'thrid Bush term'. Any thoughts on that ?

Let her enjoy her moment, because this is a close as she gets. Come Tuesday, Obama will be well past her in every respect. Let's see Hillary do the right thing and support the nominee, Obama, like she said she would.

Lets be serious here, as a person who's studied in Puerto Rico I can tell you that the only thing Puerto Rican's despise more than a gringo is a black person. The low turnout shows that many Puerto Rican's refused to vote for Hillary Clinton too!

Lets not have this Puerto Rican contest go to Hillary's head because now All Obama needs is a few more delegates to Hillary's 200 or so.

If Hillary can not do the basic math proving she is pretty much done, do you really think she can balance the country's budget?

CONGRATULATIONS TO HILLARY! She is a figher for all people!

Bill just can't handle the thought that he is not going to get a third term in the White House. He is using Hollary, as he uses all women. He can get out of the spotlight now. Thank goodness!!

I agree 100% with michigan voter!!!. Obama will never see the Whitehouse. The DNC screwed up big time when they treated Fl and MI the way they did. I will also be voting for McCain in Nov. or Hillary if she runs as an independent and I'm sure her 17 million+ supporter will go with her also. If she doesn't we will put up with McCain for 4 years and in 2012 Hillary WINS!!!!!

"De Nada" is Spanish for "it is nothing". That's what the PR election is.
It is truly over.

Now that Hillary can't get anyone except a select few people believe her nonsense, she has switched her story to say that she is losing because of a vast conspiracy against her. This is the kind of talk that puts people in mental institutions.

It's not a vast conspiracy, Hillary. It's just that most people think you're an idiot.

Hillary or McCain? Wow, you have great democrats in the States....
Little bit racist eh?

To those Democrats that still want to vote for Mc Cain if Hillary doesn't win, I hope you're ready for more of the same thing we've seen since Bush took office.

So if Hillary doesn't win? She already said herself that if she doesn't win that voting Republican would be a mistake. AND I AGREE!!! I'd die before putting another Republican on my ballot for President, especially John Mc Cain. Don't let this closely fought election be cause to hurt the Democratic party. I urge you for WHICHEVER candidate it is, be it Hillary or Obama, please vote Democratic. We desperately need change from the same old policies from the past 8 years.

GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!

YOU ARE AN AMERICAN HERO!!!!!!!

MADAME PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

Obama has had more big wins in real states than this one Hillary has in P.R. This really means...nothing. P.R cannot vote in the general. Anyone who will not vote for the party values and chooses to vote for McCain has no other rational than racism. If these are the type of people Hillary attracts, Obama supporters don't want them anyway.

Yep, her last win. She will lose South Dakota and Montana. Obama will get the nomination and Hillary will start to stomp for him. That is of course if she is true to her word. With some of the things she's tried to pull off during this primary season, I wouldn't be surprised if she ran as an Independent if she didn't get the nomination.
If that happens the presidential race will end up being a runoff between Obama and McCain. Then Obama will win.

OBAMA '08

She won because Puerto Rico hasn't had the opportunity to become disgusted with her.

Hillary. These light pink pants make your hips look enormous. Bad choice.

She won big becaise of Bill Clinton, everyone knows that!

It ain't over til it's over. And it ain't over.

In my entire life I have not voted Republican but I will not vote for Obama..

Who does she think she is anyway!! Her ego is too strong. Clinton go home.

i am with you hillary as an independent she has got my vote good luck hillary hope you win make sure every vote is counted hillary for president the best among the rest

Why do Clinton supporters want to send a Primary campaign loser to the White House? Does that make any sense?

She lost. Losers don't get elected President.

I don't understand – what kind of feminist uses her husband's name to advance her career????

now u see why obama is winning.she spends 15 days,with Bill & chealcy , wasting all her money and time in a place that dose"nt vote in the GE.with 2 days to go.mean while obama cris crossin SD and MONTANA.which he's most likeky to win them both. Go Obama 08

We have to support the nomine to defeat Mccain in November who ever he is. We just can't affort 4 more years of mess in WH, and loose more American and poor innocent people in Irak. Our troop have to came back home to their famely.

The super delegates would do well to read these blogs. The Obama supporters are obviously so nasty, and vile in their comments. This is suppose to be about bringing people together. There is so much enthusiasm by Hillary's supporters. Name calling and ignorant, mean, narrow minded talk is not going to help this process.

Most of these sick individuals need major therapy. How pitiful the Obama campaign has become to hide behind these kind of cognitively deprived individuals and let them do their dirty work.

I don't know how Obama sleep at night.

Clinton wins a contest from an area that isn't even a state and cannot vote in the general election and you go nuts about it.

Obama wins 11 in a row (actually 12 when you count Texas). That is 12 states that have millions of people who can and will vote in the General Election.

Hillary makes discounts (disenfranchises) these states an unimportant and small.

Say what? How much more unimportant can you get than winning in an area (not a state) that CANNOT EVEN VOTE AT ALL in the general election?

Jeeze Louise.

this goes to tell you how Clinton supporters are very ignorant and have no common sense in their thinking. I don't even know how they relate to their own children regarding rules, moralilty and values. You lose, you lose, go home and stop whinning
they claim she won the big states and the red states in only democrates contest, what scientific proof do they have to support this false claim that will be outcome in fall general election?.If that is the case there shouldn't have been any contest and annoint Hillary they ultimate President-in waiting....Foolish no brainers,
They are all a bunch of imagination dreamers who cannot do a basic math.
if she cannot beat Obama, who according to Clinton is not electable by the same people voting, who else can she beat, a dog? you bet.
She can not beat any one

All her supporters are retarted. Grow-up,

Frankie, T.O

The only reason Obama is ahead in anything is the caucuses, where young people who weren't working, and others who didn't have families to take care of, could sit for several hours for a caucus. Hillary is winning in all the states where the PEOPLE VOTE.
I pray the super delegates will start to use their heads, and vote for Hillary. I have read that some of them are being threatened and intimidated by the Obama team, if they are for Hillary. Our democratic process desperately needs a make-over. If all the states voted, instead of having the caucuses, Hillary would be ahead. If the Dems. held their primaries like the Repubs.–winner of each state gets all the delegates–then Hillary would be ahead.
Hang in there, Hillary. We are behind you! I will vote McCain or not vote, if Obama is the Dem's. choice.

UPDATE:

clinton supporters voting for Mr. Obama: 18

clinton supporters voting for mc cain: 16

republicans voting for Mr. Obama: 3,010,210

democrats voting for Mr. Obama: WOW!

Will keep you informed:

The biggest argument of Hillary is that she has the popular vote. When she in fact, does not.

So what does she have?

Nothing.

Hillary promised to make Puerto Rico the 51st. state! If I was Puerto Rican I would vote for her too. Again, say and do anything. Wednesday can't come soon enough. Good riddance you liar!

[b]Schneider: How did Clinton win big?[/b]

She Campaigned there. Its as simple as that
It makes a huge different when a candidate campaigns thier heart out in a specific terrority.
Good for hillary clinton, but this primary was as irrelevant she has become

Irrelevant?????

This is race is not over until the delagates vote IN THE CONVENTION. And superdelegates for sure can change their mind at any time!

So no it is not irrelivant and it is not over and any sports team how important is to hold a lead against a good opositiong team.

Hillary is still viable albeit difficult that it would happen.

But it might very well happen and all of you who are so eager to write her off and make her go away could be left wondering....

Simple, she lies to people who are ignorant enough to believe it. She tells them she will guarantee they will have a vote in the General Election. LMAO, what suckers!

Some of her supporters aren't good at math. Doing well in a few states does not change the race when your opponent already has the majority.

Because statehood and the possiblilty of voting in the GE is the "new" gas tax holiday. Sadly, people believe sound bites and promises without researching.

Her techniques are failing overall because the internet and YouTube let us find out the truth. The more people are informed–the younger and more educated people–the less the lies will work. Too bad, Hillary. you should have run before the internet.

Keep her Puerto Rico and guess what? YOU DON'T COUNT anyway. God Bless AMERICA.

Obama is the one we want, the game is over for Blondie, but she is too silly to notice.

Puerto Rico, Clintons are ALL YOURS.
Keep them there for the rest of their lives and enjoy their lip services with lies, lies, lies ,,,,,,,

You Hillary supporters (Republican operatives?) are funny. You keep 'warning' us that all sorts of bad things are going to come out about Obama real soon . . . you've been saying that ever since it was inevitable that Hillary would lose the nomination. Where is it? Don't you think the Clinton campaign wouldn't have found it and used it by now?

She has lost and Obama will be the next President unless you Clinton supporters 'don't vote', 'vote for McCain' or 'write in Hillary'. Do you REALLY want the same or worse economy we have? Do you REALLY want the troops to stay in Iraq? Do you REALLY want McCain to appoint Supreme Court Justices that will take away your right to choose, take away your civil rights, side with big business instead of the people?

You Clinton supporters keep saying how 'smart and wise' you are but your posts do not reflect that when you say you won't vote for Obama. It's also very questionable from the language, vocabulary, grammar and spelling.

okay, name recognition again.

If Hillary doesn't win against McCain

..

We will vote for McCain!!

Wait, what?

All Europeans, all world citizens want Clinton out. It's time to retire, you're over 60!!

Mr. Sneider:
Your rationale just doesn't make sense why Hillary won. She won because she is the best choice. It's not because of Bill, or all your other reasons. You are just a very biased news pundit. Give it up. You as well as the other males are threatened by such a dynamic, bright, and strong female. It is so obvious.

is this a new math that we are teaching billary math 101 popular votes equals more delegates, more states won= the stronger candidate and the winner is still Obama!!!

I guess PR didn't get the memo. You people who say "Obama may not be able to beat McCain ", "Hillary is more electable". Well, the people have spoken – they want Obama. We hold these elections for that purpose. Electing a democratic candidate is not based on analyses and polls. Please stop feeding the bear!

I read that they liked Hillary cause they are a welfare state that does not pay taxes and Bill Clinton had something to do with allowing that.

Go Obama.

She lies even when documentation disproves her lies–

“We need a president who will put us back on the path to fiscal responsibility,” she said. “I am the only candidate running who has told you specifically how I will pay for everything I propose because I want you to hold me accountable.”

There are a couple of problems with this claim, though. First, her campaign is approximately $20 million in debt, even after she loaned over $11 million of her own money to the cause. Several vendors and suppliers have come forward to say they are owed money by the campaign, and her former chief strategist, Mark Penn, is owed $5 million for his services before he parted ways with Clinton.

Second, Clinton received more than five times the number of earmarks than any other senator, according Taxpayers for Common Sense. Their report also found that Clinton is responsible for receiving over $2 billion in earmarks from 2002 to 2006, which is more than either Barack Obama or John McCain.

Wow 2 more superdels for obama, I don't see any of them moveing to Hillary haha.

After South Dakota and Montana its all over!

Keeo on dreaming Hillary folks.

There is no reason to believe that Obama had a chance of beating Hillary in Puerto Rico. Let's look at the facts: since when in this election have the Hispanic community supported Barack Obama in any part of the country. It's a waste of time for the pundits and analysts to calculated statistics day in and day out when the simple fact of the matter is that Hispanics will not vote for a black man to become president. There is and always has been a rift in Hispanic and black community relations. We all know who the nominee is going to be. Individual Democrat voters should take it upon themselves to recognize that in order for this party to be successful in November, they must put their support behind the person who is going face McCain. Instead, the Puerto Ricans have played this childish, ignorant, racially motivated game to be spiteful. This island will be responsible for setting the Democratic party back.

Meh, she needs to win at least 70% of all remaining delegates, including Super D's just to reach the 2,118 delegates needed, while it is entirely possible, I just don't see that happening yet.

go obama yeyeye

Congratulations!!! Kudos to such a hard working woman, the making of a great leader.

Who cares – I am so sick and tired of the campaigns, the coverage, the candidates, their families – I won't even vote in November. I just don't care any more – all it has been is mudslinging, whining, etc. The DNC should be ashamed of themselves for letting this mess go on for so long – does anyone really care? Whoever gets elected won't live up to their promises, will have a scandal ridden presidency and leave in disgrace like the last two. Frankly i don't think any sane person would want the job. Maybe we should try a monarchy or a dictatorship. Can't be any worse than what we already have. The candidates just need to get over themselves.

She won so big because everyone knows the Clintons via Bill. She had no real relevance with her positions

Hello all,

Write it down..it's over for billharry...Go to hell with your all campaign members. We don't want a second Monica Lewinski in the white house. We all knew Bill promissed you to do everything he can to help you gaining the white house because you didn't divorce him when he slept with Monica in the white house...he didn't want to resign at this as a president . He was lying to you in order to not explode Monica's case.Now you are free to divorce him he's so weak.

Vote for Obama 08

Hillary Clinton won big in Puerto Rico because:

1) Puerto Ricans make a big deal out of 'respect'; she visited the island much more than Obama.
2) There are a LOT of Puerto Ricans who virtually commute between New York (and Hartford) and San Juan. What state is Clinton nominally the senator of? Hmm...
3) Bill Clinton is almost a god to many Puerto Ricans. The reason for this is not entirely clear, since he was president while I was there and things certainly didn't improve.
4) The promise of a vote on status guarantees 50% support from virtually every member of the PNP, despite the reality that Puerto Rico has more chance of becoming the 9th (10th) planet in our solar system, than it does becoming a state.

Who cares, anyway? It's over. Just more bs to feed the HRC whining machine.

How did Hillary when big? Because she was laser focused on a group of people that can't vote in the GE while Obama was already working on GE swing states instead of Puerto Rico.

This is nothing more than kicking a 4th qtr. field goal when you are down by 3 touchdowns with 2 minutes to go. It is over, most people have left the stadium and those that are left are just waiting for the clock to run out and traffic to die down.

People liked her husband in office. He had a cool pompodum. Its called face recognition.

Michigan voter!!! -Why is it that you would vote McCain instead of Obama when Hillary herself has said HE would make a good President? Why is it that many of her supporters ponder the idea of HRC being VP if he is so bad? Why is it that so many HRC supporters "threaten" to vote McCain if she doesn't win? I don't hear the Obama supporters whining like that. You all need to get a grip and stand behind the Democratic nominee–whoever it is that wins this election. I am an Obama supporter, but I can guarantee you if he loses the nomination, I will vote for HRC (even though she is not my choice)–and will never vote McCain. Never. To think that is absurd; to go on and on about how her supporters will vote McCain sounds like nothing but poor losers to me. We are adults, not children. Grow up, please. It isn't about YOU; it is about our country.

democrats please come together regardless of who becomes the nominee...the world is watching you to make the right decision

It's over HRC, time to pack up and head back to NY....bring your accountant, you have a lot of bills that need to be paid.

Good look Hillary with maintaining your seat in the Senate, you may have lost that also.

First, let's remember that Puerto Rican's can't even vote in the general election, so this makes no difference at all.

Second, since she has spent all this time and money campaigning in a Spanish speaking territory, wouldn't you think she would learn to say the one Spanish phrase she used in her acceptance speech appropriately?

"Te quiero Puerto Rico" means "you (singular familiar) love Puerto Rico." Even the Taco Bell dog knows better!

She's an idiot. Please make this woman just go away!!

Hispanics won't vote for an african american. Another win for hillary firmly grounded on racism. How can you be proud of that? Boom, outa here.

The superdelegates need to do their job now. It is very unfair for the Clinton campaign to be allowed to have well-intentioned Americans contributing to their organization.

Old Politics and the death of a machine that people thought would triumph over a no one from Illinois. People counted Barrack out months ago. They said he would lose to Hillary and the nomination would be hers in January. People have been turning a shoulder to Obama all through this election because he is a Well educated worldy experienced man. Im so proud of Americans who have recognized his potential and supported him and realized that we need to change our look towards the world and how people from other countries percieve us. Dems dont pay attention to the Hate comments in these blogs cause they are coming from hate republicans who are scared we will Be in the white house come January. We democrats are strong and Fl and Mi voters were included and a comprise was met its time now that we support Obama and get ready to whipe the floor with McCain in November. God Bless America.

Michigan and the rest of you ...
Open your eyes PLEASE.
If we must settle for Hillary that is fine because we should be voting ultimately for the Democratic party.
Please no Bush number three ... smarten up you guys!
Hillary is, also, old politics you know ...

GO OBAMA!

I can't wait for Tuesday and the rest of the week when the primaries end and the SDs finally seal the nomination. I, for one, will be glad to see the end of the Democratic race.

Funny how Obamaniacs don't count votes that are for Clinton. You are a sad pathetic group of people. Saying PR doesn't matter is arrogant, rude and disrespectful. Obviously, Democrats care about PR or they wouldn't allow them to vote in the primary. Obama's supporters show who he truly is. He will lose in November and then you can whine, cry and blame it on the Clintons yet again.

As most media talking heads do not have any idea at all of what is going on most of the time other than what they make up, you Mr. Schneider you are the most ridiculous pronosticator. You have no idea what-so-ever which are the real reasons that gave Mrs. Clinton such a VICTORY in Puerto Rico nor you will have the courage to tell it, should you knew why...!!!!!

A vote for obama is a vote for HAMAS

HILLARY HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH IN THIS CAMPAIGN, FOR US TO COUNT HER OUT NOW WOULD BE RIDICULOUS!

I WOULD SAY THAT OBAMA HAS A REAL PROBLEM IF HE GETS NOMINATED!

A LOT OF DISILLUSIONED HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND HIS SCANDAL MAKE FOR A ROUGH ROAD!

HILLARY DESERVES RESPECT AND DESERVES TO BE NOMINATED!
SHE SHOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL WOMEN!

SHE IS TO ME AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS!!!!!!
CONGRATS HILLARY!!!!!!!!

oH GOOD GRIEF! So Hillary won and CNN's first reaction is to "find an explanation." And then, credit her husband! You people MUST be getting paid by the Obama campaign... you must....

"king from toronto" You obviously aren't a very observant person.

Since 1988 (i did not research further back) SD has always voted republican. Since 1988, Wyoming has voted democrat Once, in 1992.

This is the reality the obama twits ignore. Hillary has been taking swing and democratic states. Mr. Racistboy on the other hand has been taking republican states. In other words, states which will go to McCain in November.

That is why Hillary is the candidate of choice. She can win. Racistboy can't.

Puerto Ricans can ONLY vote in November if they become a state which they are not! Appears to be another way of Clinton trying to change the rules in the November election.

@MC oh get off it Barack Obama played by the rules set by the DNC in Fl and Mich why didnt you all take to the streets in the MONTHS leading up to the primary when you all were being told by HRC your candidate that votes in those states WOULD NOT count her words not mine?????????? Nobody has given an answe to that question yet? What about the millions of people who believed the DNC and did NOT come out in vote in primaries that they were told would NOT count??? As they stated several times yesterday Barack is NOT to blame for any of this mess in Fl and or Mich.

Hillary want to steal the primary she wants to steal the delegates of Obama she's crying huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh i won more popular vote than she already knows that popular never count in the general election huuuuuuuuuuu i will be the nominee, i'm a stronger candidate i hate her cause she's not correct with herself she's unfavorable, she can even beat Obama in the Primary how she will can beat MCcain in the genral election this disgusting and the last point is she never said she wants to unify i can't vot for a candidate who don't know nothing in union she wants to fight and to go to the convention i hate more and more if she gets the nomination i will turn my vote against her i will vote for MCcain cause i can understand why she leads in the popular and why she can be the nominee never Hillary you are a selfish, a witch you will never have what you want period. Obama 08 all the way CNN please post this YES HE CAN AND YES WE CAN

To Michigan Voter -PLEASE TAKE YOUR VOTE AND GIVE IT TO McCAIN. You are not a democrat anyway. This time next year you won't even have a computer to type on. It serves you right! You racist.

I just watched Obama and wasted my time. I heard nothing except George Bushes name will not be on the ballot. Fired up and ready to go, which I did find out he stole from a lady in SC. some little town there. That was the extent of this speech, and I ask myself, what in Gods name is he doing even running for President? Of course I heard the MLKs , the urgency of now. Does he ever give a speach without that reference?

Hillary Alias : Miss CHANGE THE RULES TILL I WIN!

Obama can't win!~ WE HAVE TO GIVE THE NOMINATION TO HILLARY !!!

Donna Brazile is my Hero she had the best comments yesterday at the DNC meeting she inspires me as a woman not HRC go figure.

Barack keep loosing.
He is getting realy good at it. How can you support this looser?!
If we have several more primaries to go he would be big time behind.

Mr. Obama – do favor to America – DROP OUT and let Clinton's save this country.

HILLARY 2008

It amazes me that some of you think that somehow this is Obama's fault that Hillary is losing. She ran a bad campaign in the beginning of the primary season, lost Iowa and never caught up. This was her nomination to lose and she lost it. Winning the popular vote does not mean anything in the primaries or the general election, ask Al Gore. If the roles were reversed just about everyone that support Clinton would have been screaming at the top of their lungs for Obama to get out of the race and anyone who doesn't believe that is not living in the real world.

I cant wait to hear Hillary add this to her list of big 'states'.

They went with Clinton the name brand. Period.

Who Cares! What they do on the Island means totally nothing! Go Home Clinton... This is Obama's candidacy.. Go Obama!

For all of those uninformed delusional posters:

As a Puerto Rican I can tell you there is no science to it. Puerto Ricans are every bit as racist as West Virginians are. Even Puerto Ricans darker than Barack Obama hold ignorant views of blacks. I do not share these values, however, these are the views of the majority of my Puerto Rican family and friends... once again, even those that are darker themselves, than Barack Obama.

Hey look, a cartel!

what?

oh, hi hillary

Hillary Clinton won because Bill Clinton was a very popular President in Puerto Rico. And let us not forget, the Clinton family stalked the Island for days on end.
As Donna Brasille (sp), in talking about what her Mama told her, said yesterday, "when you try to change the rules in the middle or at the end of the game, that's cheating". If you guys want to applaud that, do so. I, however, don't think that is a good recommendation for Clinton to become POTUS. And "change the rules" is all she is advocating and the only way she can win this nomination. It would be good to hear you report the truth of the details occasionally.

Write Hillary Clinton on your ballot in November. We can by word of mouth and the internet elect her president. If Every Hillary supporter who can will write her name on their ballot in November we can show the DNC and the superdelegates what we think of their form of democracy.

She won 70 percent of female voters, 77 percent of those over 65, 69 percent who did not attend college, and 71 percent of voters with an income of $15,000 or less.

NOW WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

She won big because she's the better candidate. And for those who think it's over, just wait 'till the Michelle Obama "Whitey" tape comes out . . . it's a doozy.

It's time the DNC dumped the wretch. She's spit in their face consistently throughout the primaries. She agreed to no delegates from Florida and Michigan, then played the simpleton voters there against the DNC. She did the same thing in Puerto Rico...playing off the foolish hearts of the uneducated.

The DNC, for some ungodly reason, bowed to her by even allowing the Florida and Michigan votes. (A move that has completely stripped the DNC of any authority for future primaries.) And she's still complaining and refusing to accept their olive branch.

Dump the wretched woman. And don't allow her to run as a Democrat ever again.

This article actually puts a damp on the credibility of HILLARY Clinton winning the popular vote. As indicated by the stats above, the Puerto Ricans voted Hillary due to former president Bill Clinton's favorable review or as we coin it "popularity". It does render a clouded perception of what "popularity vote" really implies. It outlined further that it was "mere" popularity and not Hillarys's capability to be a great leader that gave her the popular vote. For this reason alone, I don't think the "popular vote" argument will weigh a lot among the superdelegates. Hillary's edge on electability would also be placed in question as the majority of the American population will weigh in more on the issues which makes Obama more electable over McCain when Hillary's name is not on the ballot.

The last two will wrap it up for Obama!

Wow, the news just reported that they voting turn out in PR is typically about 80%, but today only about 20% turned out to vote. What does that say???? It says they are not able to vote in the GE and that most of the people realize it doesn't really matter so why not just go to the beach! Ha Ha Ha.....

Barack Obama 08/12!

Clinton can't win the GE, she CAN'T win the primaries-SHE CAN'T WIN. It took three Clinton's to campaign in Puerto Rico and she still didn't accomplish what she wanted. She is such a loser....

Of course she wants Puerto Rico in the GE. She'd want North Korea and Iran in the GE if she thought it would go her way. It's those pesky states that vote for Obama that she would rather not have to deal with.

Impressive win for Clinton. Alda, the DNC did not give Obama the momination, he won it. Clinton is not ahead in the popular vote. If you count the votes in primaries, Michigan as well as caucus states then Obama is ahead. That is the true measure of the popular vote. You can not conveniently leave out caucus states and Michigan voters. If Michigan was a real primary then most of the uncommitted vote was for Obama.
Clinton math only works if you discount voters. I thought the hole exercise this weekend was to count voters.

too bad Puerto Rico's opinion is completely irrelevant eh?

This is the way she would run the White House as well (letting Bill run it). He needs to take her to the side and deactivate her to understand that she will not and can not win.

Obama 08

nice sexist comment there, bill schneider.

sure, hillary won PR because of her husband. Feh.

get over yourselves, pundits.

Hillary just smacked down the so-called front-runner, big-time. Again.

Add up those popular votes lately, have you? Yeah, they were all because of her hubby, were they not?

why not talk about her makeup and hairstyle? why not make fun of her like Pfleger did?

She's showing you all up for the fools you are.

Latinos are racist – hard to believe, but very much true – I know this from very personal experience

Sen. Clinton has the popular vote and is the candidate who should be the nominee to run against McCain, she is stronger then Senator Obama and besides America doesn't want him in the white house he has to many radicals in his llife , we don't need them telling him what to do

Just when you thought that it was getting crowded under that bus, Obalegerwright, has just thrown his whole church under the bus. He will do anything to win the Presidency, and I mean anything. Wonder how that will set with all those black people who were jumping up and down and cheering when Wright and Pfleger were putting down white people, this country and especially Hillary Clinton? He might lose the black vote when they realize he was using them to get to point A. He knows they (a mere 12%) cannot carry him to the White House. Wonder how Oprah feels, now that her popularity is waning? Loyality is not his forte! Anything to win is now evident, is it not?

i cant wait to see john mcclain beat obama, i like most sensible democrates will vote mccain before i ever vote obama. our country is messed up enough with out putting him in office.

She absolutely does not have the true will of the people. She is far too caustic and polarizing to unite the electorate in November. The truth is Obama is charismatic and thats what most people go for. But no one wants to consider the fact that he might also have good judgment

she is the stronger candidate, that is how she won. obama will be added to the loser list of mondale, dukakis, kerry, and gore.

Could her behind look any bigger in that photo?

What an impressing win for HRC,she has really done so well so far,now get your supporters to unite behind the one that has the most delegates according to the DNC rules to run for the GE.

The race is over so why is she playing this game?

Hillary can win all she wants because the repuks are helping her. but she is still not representing change. she represents the status quo.

so the game for her is the same she played with Algore as vp.

she can't even be anyone's vp. she is too unsubbordinated and stubborn. she likes to run her own show where she is the only one manipulating marionnettes.

She won big because Obama is empty like a beer can in a crack heads hand.

Hillary leads in the popular vote and in over 90% of elections, that's who wins! If this were the Republican winner take all primaries, she would have been the nominee long ago and we would be asking Obama who? Most of the states Obama has won, the Democrats never win in the general election: Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and his own Kansas shows McCain winning big now. OBAMA CANNOT WIN!!

I'm glad to see Clinton starting to catch up to Obama. I don't know why people keep downing Clinton. When Bill was president, we had the strongest economy in over 30 years, we had a budget surplus, and home ownership was at an all-time high. You know Hilary had some presence in what Bill Clinton did. I don't know about you folks, but I slept great at night when Bill was president. I could find a job, a good paying job, anywhere! Way to go Clinton, I hope somehow you when the democratic nomination!

The media clearly wants Obama to be the Democratic nominee and the voters and real working people in this country want Hillary.

Result?

America gets McCain as the 44th President.

Funny,

Here is an individual who seems to be incapable of running on her own record, and her own name, and constantly has to remind people that she is married to Bill Clinton.

If Bill Clinton, didn't exist, what would be her drawing card, her stellar record as a senator?; her backing of George Bush for the Iraq war.

What I don't understand is if Puerto Rico is not a state, why is it participating in this primary?

I THINK HILLARY SHD GO ALL THE WAY TO CONV HILLARY HANG IN THERE

yay for hillary shall we give her a cookie now? this is nonsense hoopla moving on...NOW!

PR is not a state so who cares....

Her only hope of getting to the White House is for a meeting with President Obama.

June 3, 2008.............. OBAMA 2008!

Clinton won very big in Puerto Rico because she and her husband have done a good job over the years fooling so many Latinos into believing that they were their best friends. Scratch the Clintons and I'm sure we'd find that they harbor the same prejudices against Latinos that they have shown with respect to African-Americans in this campaign. I'm one Latina who is not fooled in the least. I can spot Hillary Clinton and her husband as phonies a mile away.

She will make a great president of Puerto Rico.

I thought Hillary's big argument is that she wins the states that will matter in the General Election. Puerto Ricans can't even vote in the GE. Biiiiiig deal.

How did Hillary win big?

Simple: Hispanics and Hillary have a closer skin color than Hispanics and Obama!

If there's anyone who thinks people haven't factored in race/ethnicity/skin color in the Democratic Primary, contact me; I have a suspension bridge to sell you that can span the Atlantic Ocean between New York and Britain.

HILLARY HAS WON THE *TRUE WILL* OF THE PEOPLE.....THE POPULAR VOTE.

DO NOT IGNORE THAT

MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR HILLARY

IF SHE LOSES, IT WILL BE THE YEAR 2000 ALL OVER AGAIN.....

those people who are cheering Hillary to run as an independent if she doesn't win the nomination are nuts. Not only would she lose, but she would lose her political career. I know that some of her supporters are very adamant and very loyal, but just because your candidate doesn't win is no reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Obama's campaign has not done dirty dealing or stolen the victory for Hillary. His campaign has not moved the goal post during the campaign, as Hillary's has. It is difficult for me to understand the anger of the Florida and Michigan democrats, unless it was directed at their state's political leaders who put them in this hot water in the first place.
However, I am deeply disappointed that Hillary's campaign has gone to such lengths to try and changed the rules midway because she was losing.
You can bet that if Hillary was winning there would have been no big push to "have all the votes count".
Oh wait, that was all the votes except the 40% who did not vote for Hillary in Michigan. Those voters she couldn't care less about.

Come on Obama supporters, be nice!! Very nice win Senator Clinton!!!

An Obama Supporter, 08

The question isn't why does Puerto Rico matter more than Guam and the Virgin Islands, but why does it matter more than Iowa, Washington, Nevada, Maine, parts of Texas and any other caucus state process. They have not counted in her opinion and counts for some time. This is the voice of all people, or just the people that advantage her campaign at the current moment.

To pienso que en cnn se pusieron en contra de Hillary cuando ella es la unica que le puede ganar a Jhon MCain yo no se se politica pero si se que si Obama es el nominado no van a ganar los democratas esta vez y no me gusta la senora Gloria Borger sus comentarios no son neutrales a pesar de ser mujer se intimida con la capacidad de la senora Clinton lo siento por este pais si ella no es la nominada la jente dicen que si Obama Gana no votan por el se van a acordar de lo que les estoy escribiendo nesecitamos experiencia no palabras todos opinan muy bien pero no saben de politica

U Americans are fortunate u could see again what a low quality people the Clintons are. Politicians all over the world aren’t great, but there is only few as low quality politicians as the Clintons. For some people even now isn’t enough evidence for that, guess for some evidences don’t matter.
In any case, Hillary will have to paint her house white if she wants to live in a white house))
Congratulations and Greetings from Canada
Viva Obama

GO HILLARY!!!!

She won it by partying and being a lush

Shows people in Puerto Rico are extremely intelligent.

The thing I read most is how divisive Hillary is, and it just isn't true. Obama supporters believe he has the nomination and may have had it long ago so why even care about the rest of the primary. You're solution is for Hillary to give up, thus giving her supporters and supporters of REAL change no vote in the primary. Why should we not follow the actual rules that were set up long ago, every state gets to vote and every vote should count. Even though it does look lost at this point, Hillary is doing what she has all along. Fighting for the given right of each person in this country to have say in who should become president. I hope when the time comes I can look at our president and say...
"Hillary has stood up for my right to vote for a president that I feel is most qualified, not who ever hasnt forced the other to give up and quit. Hillary really does stand up for EVERY American, and their given rights."

CNN analysis about the counties where Hillary beat Obama is and how she is making that argument is rediculous. She was running against another democrat and all that will change in a GE. Does she make the same point in the counties where Obama trounced her? Most of those voters will come over to Obama in the GE, so this is not just apples and oranges, but a moot point. It is frustrating the way CNN puts those numbers out there as if it is a forgone conclusion.
So when doing this electoral analysis please remind people that two dems running against each other is quite different from Rep vs Dem, and where Kerry beat Bush will probably be an even larger margin of victory for either dem candidate when running against McCain. Get your analysis straight. Very frustrating to watch your coverage sometimes.

Many voters are upset about the LIBRAL giving of Michigan votes to OBAMA when he REMOVED HIS NAME from the ballot... There seems to be a blind following and bending of rules FOR Obama and that is causing MANY PA, NJ, and NY voters to loose faith in the fairness in the Democratic party.

Many 20 somethings actually see what is happening and aren't choosing a candidate because they are a young and "trendy" candidate.

Denying your membership to a church that you attended for 20 years and defended 20 days ago is shameful and an obvious marketing move....... WHO ARE YOU REALLY OBAMA?

Ive voted Democratically in the past but if I such disjustice by the giving of votes to someone who wasn't on the ballot, I may vote for another party.

The decision should be reconsidered and changed. This is a VERY HOT topic amongst myself and other 20 somethings.

why is CNN ignoring the race issue in PR?

Hillary won in my country, PR because she aligned herself with the Republican Party of Puerto Rico PNP, the party wanting statehood for PR. Could not believe my eyes when I saw Carlos Romero Barcelo, the biggest Republican in our island sitting with her at the podium.... The things she does to get votes!!!! Shame on you Hillary.

Go Hillary!
She is going to be the best president America has ever seen!! I'm sure she has a master-plan to win this election. She is just briliant!!

OBAMA/CLINTON=WINNING COMBINATION
CLINTON/OBAMA=WINNING COMBINATION

EITHER WAY WE ALL WIN, CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG
BAD MOUTHING EITHER CANDIDATE IS NOT HEALTHY

REMEMBER THE OLD SAYING THAT YOUR MOTHER TAUGHT YOU WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE:
IF YOU CANT SAY SOMETHING NICE, THEN DONT SAY NOTHING AT ALL.

Just not the ones against Hillary

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone at CNN going to mention anything about the absurdly low turnout in Puerto Rico? In a country with more than 2 million eligible voters, fewer than 400,000 actually voted. Only those who really care about statehood and about maintaining a closer relationship to the U.S. actually voted.actually voted. Turnout for a Republican primary would have been even lower. To attribute sentiment for statehood as the reason for Clinton's victory in this instance is nonsense. It just shows the number of people who give a hoot about U.S. politics in Puerto Rico.

clinton won big because she made promises she is in no position to keep.she also won because her grampa established the island as a us commonwealth, when he discovered it ,with his little hillary on his knee.bill also lived on the island for years,helping the navy,as a moving target on that one island,that chelsea wanted to visit ,so she could claim her and her mother dodged sniper fire ,there.bill has offered to run for governor,there,and made a mllion dollar down payment to actually purchse 1/3 of the island as his own country,for hillary to be queen of.

Is this lady on medication or what ? can't she understand that P.R. can't vote in the general elections. How can you claim u win popular vote including Puerto Rico while ignoring Guam & Virgin Island and the Caucus states. These people who caucus in the caucus states can actually vote in the general elections. Dummies

Why did Clinton win so big? The fact that she and her family basically camped out in PR for the last two weeks while Obama only showed for 20 hours probably has a lot to do with it.

Why hasn't Obama scored big victories of late? Because he's campaigning in battleground states against McCain. The primary became an afterthought to him once it became MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Clinton win what is, after all, A DELEGATE RACE.

Why should he waste time, money, and energy fighting a primary that's actually been over for over a month now?

Hillary has to leave her fantasy camp this week, and then figure out how to pay all the vendors she's stiffed around the country. Hopefully those hard-working Americans, white Americans, finally get paid. That's no way to treat one's blue-collar base, is it?

I think that she is a thief in the night. She has lied to my people in PR and I am not liking that. She don't tell the truth and my people are believing her. She do corruption and is a cheater.

Hillary kept it close with the Republican Crossover vote in the Red States. If it weren't for Republicans voting for Hillary it wouldn't have been this close.

Who cares. The race is over and the only thing that haschanged since Late Feb 2008 is the size of Senator Obama's lead.

I'm so sick of the Obama people. They are so nasty–lets see, they really don't need the people that are for Hillary. So, let's see him do it with just them! Don't vote for Obama–look at who he's been close to the last 20years. Nasty,mean people!

IN A THREE RACE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
OBAMA
MCCAIN
HILLARY

HILLARY WILL WIN BIG
HILLARY 08

Part of it was because Obama didn't spend much time there. He is letting her save face so she won't look like such a big loser after Tuesday. We wouldn't want her to cry again.

Michigan Voter !!! June 1st, 2008 3:39 pm ET

Hillary Holds The Keys To The White House !!!!! .

********

She only has them because she is opening the door for President Obama!

No one stole anything from Clinton! After her 35 years of experience she should have known how to play the game.

She claimed in Nov. 07 that she was going to be the "Nominee."

However, she had no lasting campaign theme, she had no strategy beyond February 5th, she had no fund raising strategy, she had no sense of managing money, she had no judgment in selecting her campaign advisers. So instead of blaming Obama, the media, sexism, racism, and whatever other excuse, she should reflect and blame the only person left to blame, HERSELF!

The nomination was hers for the taking but she failed.

NO ONE STOLE ANYTHING FROM HER!

HILLARY WINS ANOTHER BIG WIN>>SUPER DELEGATES ARE YOU IGNORANT OR WHAT DO YOU SEE OBAMA HAS NOT WON ANYTHING TO SPEAK OF SINCE JANUARY >>HILLARY WINS BY BIGGER AND BIGGER MARGINS AND OBAMA SPENDS THE MOST AND CAN"T WIN>>LIKE HE WILL NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER !! HILLARY GO INDEPENDENT IF THE PARTY DOES YOU WRONG>>THEY CAN"T WIN WITH OUT YOU!! YOU HAVE THE POPULAR VOTE!!HILLARY 2008!

DNC and Obama campaign all the time talking about rules, that nobody can change during the game. Right? I have a question: Why you, people, changed rules during the game yourself?
SUPERDELEGATES WAS DESIGN TO PICK STRONGEST CANDIDATE, who can win in November, not one who won more pledge delegates.
Why you don't follow this rules? Hillary won popular votes!!!
You have to follow RULES. CROOKS!
It is fixed election. The DNC , And The Media Stealing The Nomination from Hillary. You think people don't understand what's going on?
You think that in November we all will vote for Obama?
NO WAY! Don't even count on us ( Hillary supporters )any more.
If not Hillary we will vote for McCain 2008.

Why would you want someone like Hillary who doesn't have enough
common sense to realize this race is over? PR cannot vote in the
general election. They voted for her because they have many relatives in NY and know who she is. It's like picking Coke over 7-up. Just a better known name.She needs to tell her supporters it's over and get
behind the nominee so we can win the White House back in the fall.
Her fans will cut off their noses to spite their face and we might end
up with McSame in the fall. 4 more years of dead soldiers, an economy that's tanking, higher fuel prices and food prices. Get real and vote Obama for President. I have a lot of respect for the Clintons but they need to quit banging their heads against the wall. Feels so good when you stop!

If I recall correctly, when this process started, Hillary had the "opportunity" to win all the "electoral" states she is now talking about. So, what happened that she is so behind today?

Also, did all the candidates not agree that ONLY the pledged candidates would count? Okay, we now need to change the rules to "popular votes?" Be prepared to change all the rules during the general election!

Can Hillary please simply just go away!!! This is getting to be a little annoying!

Now Puerto Rico has been promised by Hillary about being a state to vote. Why promise something you cannot deliver? No surprises, Bill promised Monica... so that he can get what he wanted. May God have mercy on the souls of the Clintons!

I am not a Obama supporter. However, I fail to understand how could a person of Clinton stature could speak so much unreasonable?

1) If popular vote is what matters why did not Clinton suggest for a change in the system wherein no delegates are awarded?

2) If winning so called swing states / battleground states is what matters, why conduct primary election in other parts of the country?

3) How could we use popular votes for comparison purposes – when some states held caucuses, some states allowed only registered democrats to vote and some states were open for all?

4) I do not think it is fair to include Michigan and Florida (both votes and delegates) given that no candidate campaigned, and many people did not have an opportunity to vote. It is a complete sham.

I wish the best political team in the country answer my above questions.

To bad for the DNC, sticking with a green horn will cost them the election. Americans are tired and broke from the inexperienced president we have now. I am a Democrat and I won't vote Obama!

HILLARY WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT COMES NOVEMBER. OBAMA HAS NO CHANCE. BY POPULAR VOTE HILLARY IS AHEAD.

How did Clinton win big? She started with superior name recognition, thanks to eight years of the Bill Clinton administration, then followed that up with several days of non-stop campaigning in Puerto Rico while Obama moved into general election mode and toured Michigan, New Mexico, Colorado, and other states.

Take a look at the national polls; Obama is moving further and further ahead of Hillary.

Now here's a question: why can't Clinton win Montana or South Dakota?

Very telling and disgusting. Will she ever understand she's got no chance?

The more we know about Obama – the more Hillary wins !! The so called Golden Boy is not who he seems and great speeches and carefully chosen inspirational words cannot run America... we may no longer be the greatest country in the world. To tell me that a guy from a broken home with no experience is going to bring our country back to greatness ? I would file that under "fairy tale".

To the Obama supporters, do not hate Hillary at the expense of our country. Our country is bigger than Obama. Good speeches does not a great country make.

To those who want to write in Hillary on the NOvember ballots, please do research because you have to know what you are doing or it will be disqualified.. You need to know how her name is spelt and whether to check off the box etc. Check out her website when the time comes.

I am a Hillary supporter – and I will not do my country in by supporting Obama. Have you not heard forever that everything Oprah touches, turns to gold.. ? If you had a "product" to sell, you need Oprah – that is how Obama got his break.

If you never met Hillary in person, you will never know the kind of electric awesome person she is.

Hillary, do not give in – we the sane people, need you.

all of u who say hillary deserves to be president, I'd like to know based on what?
Her husband? her changing the rules to suit her needs?

she won in PR cuz she's spent the last 6 days there. also, her hubby and daughter have spent more time there too.

Nobody is or has been taking shots at her for the last 2 months. Actually, McCain hasn't even called her on anything, nor has Obama.
Obama is running against hillary, mccain, bill clinton.etc. He's got one foot in the primaries and one foot in the GE.
I think he's balancing great.

She's running against time and herself. Great effort for hillary, but the lesson here is don't wait until your behind, and then do the work. You work hard all the way through.
Kind of like the turtle and the hare story.

***************************************************************************
Question... Why is it so hard to say she won because she deserved to win?

Pretty sure the media has done enough damage already... Come on, she has been winning despite media that hates her and running against someone who has four times the money and still can't win... She is a leader and we do not need a President who can not make a decision unless the media pressures him into it (Rev. Wright would be a good example).

One more question... Can anyone PLEASE just name five things that Barrack Hussein Obama (ooops said his middle name) has done for his state or our country in the VERY short time he has held a public office?

Two things?

Thought so... If Senator Clinton does not get the nomination, I will write her name in or vote McCain.

She thinks Puerto Ricans should vote in the general election. Congrats HRC, didn't think your pandering could get both more transparent and more pathetic.

futile |ˈfyoōtl; -ˌtil|
adjective

irrelevant |iˈreləvənt|
adjective
not connected with or relevant to something.

In Florida, write in votes are not counted unless Hillary requests they be counted. I doubt that she will do that because of party "unity". I no longer care about party "unity" so I will switch my party affiliation, something I never thought I would do. I would like to see a movement started so those who wish to switch to independent do so on the same date.

We all congratulate Sen.Clinton's victory in PR. However, the popular vote is not the critiera to win the nomination. Also she keeps indicating that she has the most popular votes. However that is based on how you can the votes. They both have received over 17m votes. This is great for the Party. It's time for her to fold her tent and unify the Party to beat John McCain. Sen. Clinton you have run a fine campaign but it's time for you to end this by next Wednesday.

Hillary wins big with the uneducated, the illiterate and the uninformed with short attention spans, and with the white bigots and racists. Now if only she could win over the educated the discerning and well read citizens who make an informed Vote.

WHY? HILLARY DELIVERS REASONS THAT SOUND GOOD. OBAMA on the other hand DELIVERS GOOD SOUND REASONS.

Hillary says she delivers. All I know is that she did not do her homework and bother to read the Intelligence Report on her desk (probably with the White Water Rose Law File Papers she (and Vince Foster) LOST on her desk when the judge ordered her to produce them) before SHE VOTED TO INITIATE THE WAR IN IRAQ!

i'D SAY SHE'S A POOR STUDENT WHO DIDN'T DO HER HOMEWORK, AND FLUNKED THE TEST WHEN SHE VOTED FOR WAR IN IRAQ. 4,080 Young American (AND COUNTING) paid for her ignorance and incomptence!

Mike

Awesome job Hillary. Your doing great! Hang in there to the end... dont let anyone tell you to quit. Our prayers are with you.

Congratulations! Hillary nets exactly ZERO electoral votes for her "more electable candidate" argument. I guess they'll just settle for the body count. LMAO

At this point, OBVIOUSLY it's not about the Democratic Party uniting, nor is it about "the people" — it's all about Billary.

So we're back to only giving her credit because of her husband? Just because people had a favorable view of Bill Clinton in the exit poll does not mean that's why they voted for her. Twist it and turn it – but don't let her win on her own merit – that would be too much "change."

Stupid America voted Bush for 2 terms. For those who say that just because Clinton will not get the nomination, they will end up voting for McCain... come on.... don't continue the STUPIDITY.

c'mon, Bill–admit it ! you admire Clinton for her tenacity, her love for people and her willingness to work with anyone and everyone for the betterment of America! She won because everyone recognizes her leadership and refusal to quit against unbelievable odds....we need more people like Hillary Clinton!

___ news station discuss sexism with four men and one woman.

The only reason Hillary won PR is because her last name is Clinton. So in other words, the people of PR voted for Bill, not Hillary. Had she not been a "Clinton" she would not have won. Why are they allowed to vote in the primary process if they can't in the GE. PR Shouldn't be in this process at all.

Some keep saying that Obama stole the election – when actually it is Clinton who has been twisting the rules, and doing everything in her power to steal the election from Obama. Too bad Hillary, time for you to gather up Bill, Chelsea, and your buddy Ickes and go home. As I said when this whole campaign started – AMERICA DOES NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING. Obama has won fair and square, so stop with the temper tantrums and go back to the senate (that's if they still want you).
NO CLINTON ON THE OBAMA TICKET.

I hope that Obama is aware of the fact that many Hilary supporters are not Obama supporters. I would find it difficult if not impossible to vote for him for president. If she is running for the V-president on the ticket -I would vote for her/him.Otherwise I support Mc Cain. He is honest and anyone is an improvement on Bush. He set the bar really low.

I am so glad that this will be over and that Obama will be the democrat nomonie Hillery & bill will do something dirty yet to try to winn all i can say is she is done and she needs to go back to the bar we dont need a drunk to be in the white house or her husband sleeping with anyone that will sleep with him we had enough when they were in and she lies so much tell people what they want to hear but if people would read the book where she said and this is a quote from it ( Screw them bill you don't owe them any thing speakig of the people ) they are Both sick GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why I get no calls from the Democratic party on IF I would vote for Obama in November. Before the primary, I was called several times on Clinton vs Obama. I will not vote for Obama in GE. I will just let McCain win. Obama has too little experience, and all this talk of change means nothing if Congress doesn't work with him.I think the DNC should do a thorough phone poll on Obama support as candidate before they nominate him. They could get a big suprise loss in November.

Great turnout of voters today!!!!!!!!

How many of the registered 2.5 million democratic Puerto Ricans did actually vote today? My estimate is that only about 300.000 bothered. What an "overwhelming" gain in popular votes!

Hillary Clinton suffers from delusions of grandeur.

Obama 08/12

Riding her ex husband's coat tails.
Ooops, I mean ex-president husband

I still believe Hillary would be the best one to nominate, so thanks to Puerto Rico with their 55 delegates!

abrazos

the popular vote doesn't mean a thing. It's deligates. CNN you knew she was going to win PR by huge numbers, so why is
Wolf carrying on like it's such a surprise and why does he repeat the popular vote over and over again?I hope after today, I'll never have to look at this woman's face again or hear that squeeky voice.

For you Clinton supporters who plan on her as a write in candidate forget it. Most states don't allow write ins. What they do allow is the candidates to register as Independents. Without a doubt Obama or McCain come in 2nd and 3rd in that race.

As if this matters. They cannot vote in the GE. Give me a break. Yawn.

Popular vote is not accurate. Caucus voters are voters too. You claimed we should count all votes when it came to MI and FL but those that voted in the caucuses don't count? Hypocritical.

Could someone ask the Puerto Ricans to keep her there on the island for ever. She can fight for them to become a state AND perhaps in 3 milleniums to come become a country. Then she can become their Madam President.

Could someone ask the Puerto Ricans to keep her there on the highland for ever. She can fight for them to become a state AND perhaps in 3 milleniums to come become a country. Then she can become their Madam President.

I encourage everybody to write in Hillary's name on the general election ballots if her name is not there.

Everybody take a pen/pencil to the polls!!

Donna Brazile should resign. Talk about a conflict of interests

Congratulations to Hillary for her win in Puerto Rico. I'm an Obama fan and a democrat and will vote for either in the fall. If she were to win, I would not "write in" Obama, like so many are saying they would do for Hillary if she doesn't win. After the last election, I felt like my vote was meaningless. I think democrats have a good chance of winning the election if we unite.

Who won BIG ? Hillary or Bill ???

am i the only one who can see a camel toe?

Clinton HAS the popular vote. CNN's math estimating by DELEGATE COUNT is the worst kind of projection...for example...Clinton CLEARY won the popular vote in Nevada, but Obama got more delegates. Nevada
does NOT keep track of the popular vote.

The four states that do NOT track popular votes should Not be included in the total.

Las Vegas, NV

PR was called out at the beginning of the race, that HRC was going to take it but what about those who did Vote for Senator Obama, (who was there for one day only, imagine if he spent more than a week for the people to really see and hear him?) This was a paid vacation for HRC by BC and his commrades in PR.

What else do expect from someone who is really losing where it counts?

Senator Clinton is that school yard bully, who will be negative no matter what, she does really feel this is owe her – But Why?

The Clinton Bush era are over - the real votes in November will count with the States that are eligible.

The American People are ready for a real change, not the same hype in DICTATORSHIP that comes from the Clintons – Bush!

It is not big DEAL !! They can not vote to GE.
CNN is making it too..................BIG DEAL.

popular vote doesnt elect a president and on wednesday morning Barrack Obama will be the clear nominee for the democratic party. As for the Florida and Michigan comprimises I think Barrack was extremely giving by agreeing to accept any of those states delegates considering they violated party rules. So all Hillary supporters get over it and vote for the dem nominee in Nov

Just Proof we want Hillary, NOT Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grats Hillary, but Obama's got the nom in the bag.

To all the Hillary supporters who say they're gonna vote for McCain over Obama, hasn't Hillary said a million and a half times that "no matter who the nominee is we need a Democratic president?" Remember "it would be a grave mistake to vote for McCain over Obama?" Are you going to go against the woman who is, apparently, your hero, or at least someone you heavily admire?

Hillary riding her husband's coat tails. Some feminist! Oh, and BTW Peurto Rico is really just a small piece of NYC, so really no surprise. But, all in all this is nice for Hillary. I just hope she doesn't take it too seriously. This is really not a representative group.

WOW SHE GOT 12% OF THE 2M VOLTER 48HRS AND IT IS OVER OBAMA WILL HAVE 2118 AND WILL WIN MT&SD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Puerto Rico...useful since no one there can vote in November. No doubt Clinton will attempt to spin this win into something it's not. As her insistence on "appealing" the decision regarding Michigan's delegates proves, Hillary is not interested in fair play, justice, or what's best for the party. She will hold onto anything and everything that suggests she has a shot at winning while ignoring the other 99% of reality.

100% of the the U.S. Constitution and 100% of federal laws and regulations apply to the territory of Puerto Rico. PR is a "de facto" incorporated territory of the U.S. just like D.C. 100% of puertorricans are U.S. natural born citizens. Despite these FACTS puertorricans are not allowed to vote for the President that signs those laws. Additionally, puertorricans have no vote in Congress, where the laws are drafted and enacted. Now, can anyone explain to me why shouldn't we be allowed to vote for the President. Funny, coming from the beacon of democracy in the world.

She won Puerto Rico because she spent time partying down with people who love her husband. HRC will finish all the primaries on Tuesday. Then she will do the right thing for the party and the country and support Obama's candidacy. She will convince her ardent supporters to vote for Obama and those that claim they will vote for McCain out of spite, well they can vote that way but it will not prevent a democratic victory. Obama will win the election in November and will go on to be a great president.

I hope Billary,Chelsea and Looser Bill enjoy spending the little boys $400 for his bicycle on their paid vacation......Maybe she should apply in PR for president of the "Loser Club"....I'll give a $5 pledge for you to stay there.

I don't understand why the DNC is treating Hillary so badly. Shame on you all. Peolsi and Dean you stink. Hillary supporters will never ever vote for Obama and don't think you can shove him down our throats. The more you try to convince me he is the better nominee the more I know he is not. He is a divider of people. Why can;t you see what he is and what he stands for. Just how many minister does this man have to divorce before you guys realize that Obama stands for hate. He doesn't even like you guys that are so strong behind him. Wake up before its too late for all of us and select Hillary for the democratic nominee. I will never ever vote for Obama. He is hurting the democratic party.

Kansas for Hillary***President of the United States

To link McCain and Bush as the continuation of the same policy is so naive and stupid in political terms. So we should link Obama with Kerry and Kennedy with all their mistakes and out-of-touch policies they have promoted. We can also link Obama with the corruption in Chicago as he really did not change anything there and did not improve life for thousands of African-American in the community he served for.
We need to link Obama with all the status-quo of the Democratic Party who did not opposed the war from the very beginning like Kerry as Obama himself never created a serious movement to opposed the War (for political convenience) until he started a serious run for the presidency.
If we follow the links we will see who is Obama and what he really stands for: an average politician who uses the American's dreams to reach his political ambitions.
CNN please post my comment.

I don't know... I still think it is not really a good thing to talk about popular vote at all... Because if we were talking about popular vote, Gore would have been Pres in 2000.... so...i think it is a mute point.

delirious hillary

Too little to late. Face it, this contest is over.

How can she keep making speeches about every vote counting, when she really means every vote except those of us who live in Caucus states? Get real, get out.

Unless she goes on vacation there, Puerto Ricans will never see Hillary gain. So much for your precious votes. Since when does Puerto Rico vote in the general election or is this something that Hillary is going to change?

Thanks PR!!!!! When our third party ticket is made we will think of you, and your kindness to our beloved Hillary!!!!!!

Have she paid the people their MONEY?

I am so sick and tired of this argument that she has the popular vote...this is not the case...unless you choose to ignore the caucus states....including the one I participated in. So my vote and beliefs are not important. You clinton supporters are cherrypicking the numbers to make your argument, but anyone with half a brain knows that if you counted the caucus states she does not have the popular vote.

More garbage from the Obamabots on here. If he is such a winner why does he continue to lose? It has been months since he has won anything – all we hear about is how he is entrenched with racists, SAD. He will lose to McCain

Is not unfair to let PR vote in primaries. What is really unfair is not to let them vote in the Presidential elections and not to let them have 2 senators and representatives.

For Gods sake. She, Bill and their daughter spent 2 weeks there and Lord knows how much money. Of course she won! DUH. If she had not won there would have been a big problem. Yawn.
Obama was on to bigger and better things.

A win but it doesn't matter where it counts. It helps her exit gracefully when this is all over. Her moment in the sun. But not smart for the Puerto Rican popylation. I feel that they in being loyal were trying to send a message. He still gets delegates, ironic isn't it. Cuts her short of the 92% that she needs.

Hitlery will become president. It is and always been inevitable. An act of GOD is upon us all and the supers will flood and flock to her. Hitlery will make the inevitable comeback. It is her destiny as GOD's chosen one to win. GODs word and will is to have Hitlery rule the world.

I just watched her so called victory speech on cnn. She is disgusting! To all the hillary supporters, I say God bless you. What happened to the gas tax holiday?

Only count your votes, never mind Obamas, she is really insane and so are her voters!

HELLO...HELLO....HELLO...Anyone there?
OBAMA....OBAMA....OBAMA.....O YEAH, OBAMA picked up two superdelegates this morning.

OBAMA 08

I think that we all have HOPE for the candidate of our choice. This primary has been the most talked but even at my job. I think we all are hoping for our next boss to look for our best interest and not how to make money for future buisness relationships. The americain people that are joining the Military these days are not doing it for patoritism but because of what is being offered for health care and paying for school to get better jobs to pay for health care. The stress caused by the state of america today is why we are all just wanting someone to look out for the small people. The voting process it self is set up for big buisness to have the last word. It is hard for anyone to understand how if at all the vote they make will even count. I mean i watch CNN counting the votes and after 29% of the PR HAND COUNT, CNN says Clinton won? I am really wanting to see how it all plays out. Is this, as a military member, what I am fighting for? Are all men going to looked at as equal finally? Maybe not but it would be nice to know that the black tax will be put to bed. it will now look as if everyone could have the dream of being President some day, that is before death is knocking at your door.

Hillary Clinton needs to be a write in candidate.
The Democrats have proven they are as vile as the republicans with votes not being counted.
Stand beside me fellow Clinton supporters and Write in Hillary Clinton if Obama gets the nomination.
Don't vote for McCain, vote for our candidate, the one we supported from day one, the one that can pull off the upset.
Vote Hillary Clinton in November, no matter what.

Again, CNN when someone leaves an intelligent comment you see fit to remove it. I can understand, the intellectual level of your reporting would force CNN to try remove anything resembling intelligence.

YAWN...more amazing is that folks still think that she should be the nominee EVEN though she has not won "anything"...there are more states to the union than Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc...had she not UNDERESTIMATED OBAMA in the first place and ran a better campaign she wouldn't be looking like the "bitter" one now...if she somehow "steals" the nomination from Obama, I will write in "Mickey Mouse" before I vote for her...

And this is from someone who did not support Obama 100%..but I can appreciate the fact that he didn't whine and complain, bring up conspiracy theories, he ALWAYS congratulated her on her victories when she tried to ignore his....a person with A BETTER CHARACTER gets my vote...

I don't support whiners....he picked up another superdelegate today...so I am sure they are paying attention to more than politics...

Hillary is winning big because the voters want to let the DNC know that the party bosses should not decide this one! Obama blocked a revote in Michigan and then "allocates" the delegates based on back room deals, even grabbing delegates pledged to her.

Suddenly he doesn't seem to bring the kind of change we were looking for....Even if you suport Barak, you got to admit this is filthy politics.

WHO CARES? Puerto Rico can't even vote in the general election so this win means NOTHING!!!

Who cares? 3 more days and Clintons will be history. FOREVER!
America hates them.The best thing for them is to stay in PR for years .

I would "strongly" encourage Hillary and her active supporters to form an Independent party. These people, lacking in a basic virtue of "honesty" should be removed far away from the Democratic ticket!

Let us see how Hillary will do as an Independent candidate against the Republican machine. Anyone with a "small sense" of political history will know that the Republicans are ready to take on Hillary, especially Bill! The Republicans want Hillary so badly that they have even crossed over to vote for her, knowing that they have no good chances against Obama.

I sincerely hope that Hillary, if she remains in the Democratic party, does not come even close to the Obama ticket. Both Bill and Hillary do not need to campaign for Obama in the general election!!

Denver... Hillary ...
Just go to Denver....

1. The only way Clinton has won the popular vote is if you use her own flawed logic: Count Florida and Michigan (Michigan, where Obama was not even on the ballot) and DON'T count caucuses. I admire her tenacity, sure, but we already had one nominee win with tricky math (Our own GWB.)

2. It is completely ludicrous and childish for Democrats to threaten to write-in Clinton or vote for McCain if Clinton doesn't get the nomination (which she won't. If delegates vote with the popular vote, which they should, Obama wins.) If you really think McCain is better than Obama, fine. But if you vote that way because your woman lost, you aren't adult enough to vote.

Correction:

your are racist = you are a racist

Speaking about Obama playing by the rules. The rules don't apply to Obama. He did not have to take his name off the Michigan ballot, but he did and he was still given some of Hillary's votes, and was given all the uncommitted votes. The committee also gave votes to Obama based on non voters and exit polls. Hillary ending up losing more votes than she actually achieved. Tell me how that is fair.

Hillary Clinton: The New Nader

AV
"I really hope Clinton wins the nomination. Although I think Clinton and Obama are equally strong, Obama may not be able to beat McCain as old fashioned democratic whites will prefer a white to a non white in the white house."

Your comment was really idiotic...your are a racist...to make a comment like that your are racist.

it's hard to see a difference between hillary as a fighter and hillary as a spoiler. she is fighting for herself and if she has to go down she will take all dem. party with her to hell.

I would "strongly" encourage Hillary and her active supporters to form an Independent party. These people, lacking in a basic virtue of "honesty" should be removed far away from the Democratic ticket!

I sincerely hope that Hillary, if she remains in the Democratic party, does not come even close to the Obama ticket. Both Bill and Hillary do not need to campaign for Obama in the general election!!

The DNC are aware that only Clinton can beat McCain in November. Obama cannot win the states that matter, and he has no hope of attracting Clinton voters or the Democratic blue collar core. This will go to the August convention as it should.

Just wait. Maybe Obama will be able to take away some of her delegates here too. Candidate of Change that removed his name from Michigan ballot to appease Iowa and then went back to Michigan and got Edwards', Richardson's and the uncommitted votes for him. Plus, he was even able to slash Hillary's lead in half. Where is the outrage? CNN is bias and do not report it as it is.

Can you imagine your vote being "reallocated" to another candidate?

Go HC, you are awesome.

CNN – HILLARY HAD A GREAT VICTORY TODAY. YOU GO GIRL. I AM STILL HOPEFUL AND WILL NEVER GIVE UP. I KNOW CNN DOES NOT WANT YOU TO WIN , BUT I AM WITH YOU TO THE END .

Mrs. Clinton has very clearly shown she is the candidate of
the bulk of the Democratic party over the last two months.
Every major State and some by landslides. Mr. Obama
just keeps pretending it will all go away if he acts like he won.
So he "resigned " from the crazy Church after 20 years.
What was he the CEO?

For the first time in my adult life...........I may not vote in the presidential election if it means having to vote for Obama. Voting for McCain is not an alternative and I don't think Democrats should consider that an option given his views on war and abortion rights, etc.

WOW what a big win...this is really going to help her in the general election. Puerto Rico can really offset some of the other states that have large African American populations...

Wait...

Too little, too late.

I cannot wait to celeberate her concession speech. It will be so sweet.

VIVA PUERTO RICO
THE ONLY WELFARE STATE IN AMERICA

This is like a loser's tour for Hillary...She just gave commendation to Obama - and her supports Boo...That's why it's hard to say positive things about her because she has caused so much division amongst our party.

But hey, you Hillary supporters, go on and go to hillaryclinton.com and send her some of your well earned $$ to help her millionare a*# get out of campaign debt...

she's a sore looser-i can't believe i used to like her
what a disgrace she's become

Clinton is not ahead in the popular vote, she is not acknowledging votes cast in the caucus states, mine was one. Yet, doesn't she say that "all votes must count". She is too inconsistent, too dishonest, too self-serving and I will never vote for her under any circumstances.

Please to continue to say its irrevalen and you will to answer to the PR people in the mainland and to Ricky Martin, Mark Anthony, and Jennifer Lopez.

The Puerto Ricans are loyal American who you call Patriots.

Go Hillary, make those darn idiots in DNC destroy each other.

McCain 2008!

After listening to all the bickering by the "female" Clinton supporters, including the one that was crying on cnn earlier today about the Michigan and Florida decision, I would be shocked if we ever give a woman a chance to run for presidency again! I mean these creatures are just plain pathetic...boo hooo hoo I will vote for Mccain! boo hooo hoo Denver! Denver!! Denver!!!
Obama beat Hillary fair and square. She ran a terrible campaign!!

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNOW WHO HAS THE BRAINS AND EXPERIENCE TO WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!!

THAT IS HILLARY CLINTON!

Hillary,congratulation for fighting for yourself.You want to whack the democratic party but guess what ,it is over for the Clintons.As for PR ,God bless them but i wonder if they understand Hillary.

Just watch her get creamed on Tuesday

I love an ultra liberal woman in tight pants:) Go Hill!!!!

Viva Puerto Rico and become the 51st State and to all of those who say it doesn't will have to deal with Prince of Puerto Rico who is Ricky Martin!!! So keep saying its irrevelant because Hussein has already one and keep talking down to the Puerto Rican people. We PR have the votes in the mainland and we will vote in the GE including Orlando, Florida...so search it and see how many votes you need to win GE.

For those dumb Clinton supporters who say she should run as an independant you should realize that as she has been running for nominee this year for the democrats she cannot run until 2012 as an independant. And thats the rule. Something you lot dont understand at all.

oh god .i din't know that puerto rico have so much white working people,uneducate white working people

I am very disappointed that no one has pointed out the horrendous fashion sense Hillary is showing in this photo. For this reason, I will not vote for her.

If you claim that Hillary has won the "popular vote" based on the premise that every vote counts, can you please explain to me how caucus states don't factor into the equation. Remember how well Obama did in the caucus states? If every vote counts, count the votes for each candidate as a measure of the popular vote, including the caucus states. Pretty soon, Clinton doesn't have the most votes.............. (crickets chirping)

None of this matters after Tuesday anyways, we need to start thinking as about the November elections and not get divided. Please do not write in the candidate that lost, whomever they are. These two candidates are so much closer on policy and record. To write in for the loser of the dem primary in November is a vote for McCain.

Hillary is the best choice for America because she has experiences ,knowledge of the needs of American people and she has the will to a real change for a better future .

HILLARY IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR AMERICA !

GOOD BLESS AMERICA !

With her performance in this election .. some say not giving up.. I say desperation and ego for power.
Next time if by any chance she becomes the nominee.. I would support Ralph Nader instead of her.
She is like the MUGABE of US
OBAMA 2008 -16

So this is why Sen. & Bill Clinton are so popular in PR. They want to become a state and Bill is popular in PR. So out of 2 million people living in PR she gets about how many so far? Last look I had on CNN Sen. Clinton had received $37,000 votes. Add in Sen. Obama's votes and that gives us about 57,000 PR's voting. So, there are $1,943,000.00 votes left. I guess the majority of PR's registered voters knew this was a waste of time.

Keep in mind my figures are not exact.

I swear...you Hillary supporters are nothing if not self-defeating!!!! But I guess it's par for the course...you're goose-stepping in unison behind your fearless (or should I say fear-mongering) leader.

Are you all so blinded by visions of her becoming the 1st woman president that you're willing go place someone in office who will have absolutely no regard for you, your families or your livlihoods (or lack thereof...remember her hubby put NAFTA into place which equaled job loss for a great many of you in PA & OH , for example)?

When all is said and done, you would be wise to remember that both Bill & Hillary will go back to their cushy lives (no matter the outcome of this election) and you will still be out there trying to figure out whether to fill up your gas tanks or put food on the table. You'd better think long and hard about attempting to put another Republican in office over your "hurt feelings."

LOL, that is the funniest thing I have ever heard from a McCain supporter. Nice try though.

"ANTHONY June 1st, 2008 3:24 pm ET

HILLARY WILL RUN AS AN INDEPENDANT IF THE DEM DONT COME THROUGH FOR HER.. AND I HOPE SHE DOES"

Hillary promising statehood to these people was wrong. There is no way in hell that the republicans would allow it to happen. It would add democrats to the house and senate and there is no way they would let that happen.

She is pandering and lieing to these people to get votes.

Sorry, You are wrong. You are correct to report that although neither HILLARY Clinton nor Obamba discussed statehood, BILL Clinton promised, if Puerto Ricans voted for Hillary, HE promised they would receive statehood. When I heard that, I thought, wow, I guess he thinks he's running not her. Bill doesn't have the authority to promise anything much less statehood, but there he was in true Bill form!

Hillary, I Love You! Don't give up... you are our ONLY hope!

This once again shows that Hillary has the right coalition to WIN the White House in November whereas Barrack Obama has a LOSING coalition.

This vote is a reflection of the VERY IMPORTANT LATINO VOTE which we have had in past primaries in Florida, California, Arizona, Colorado, and Arizona.

Good job DNC. Welcome Barrack McGovern.

Since you have forgotten HOW you won the Senate and House in 2006, you will get a REMINDER this November!

CNN please be gracious enought to allow my posting.

Schneider: How did Clinton win big?
**************************************************************
You are asking the wrong question Bill. It should read: "Does anyone care if Clinton wins big?"

please don't let her made the party to count popular vote,they are so spineless the will change the rule to please the clinton

With todays big win in PR and the all the votes in florida and Michigan counted,Clinton now leads by a small margain in the overall popular vote.

I'm a Republican and have been voting as a Republican for 35 years.
My hero is Obama 2008. He Plays fair, is honest, has a calm strength, and his inner beauty of respect toward others, including Clinton, is remarkable.
Mrs Clinton on the other hand has played unfairly. Do we want a President who rewrites the Democratic Party rules according her whims? Do we want a president who does not follow the science of Economics, runs up debts for her campaign, and refuses to listen to Economist advise?
I'm a white working senior woman and will fight for Obama until the end.Bush=McCain, Hillary=Bill(see Puerto Rico)I have no hope for this Country without Obama.Theresa

Schneider: How did Clinton win big?
**************************************************************
You are asking the wrong

Why would Hilary have the gall to persuade Latino voters that she is more electable than Obama ? Thats race baiting....

pitting Latinos vs black?

Clinton must be about 40 million in debt now.

In two days Obama will win the last two states and nobody will care about either her win in P.R. or the rest of her unpleasant campaign. That staffer of Obama's that was dismissed for referring to her as a 'monster' was right. I am going to have a celebration party the night she actually admits defeat and concedes. And if she does not concede...well that would further confirm my dread for her.

Hot off the press from the Obama camp:

"Gibbs also did not rule out the possibility that Obama will seat the Michigan and Florida delegations at full strength if he is the nominee."

So if Obama is the nominee, THEN he will seat the MI & FL delegations at FULL STRENGTH.

More hypocrisy from Obama.

I don't understand where these Clinton supporters keep getting their numbers. How is she winning the popular votes when Obama is leading in pledged delegates (forget super delegates for now). Oh thats right change the rules Hillary when it pleases you. She cares not one ounce about the American people only the title of the presidency.

Bill Clinton, whom many Puerto Ricans love, showered them with affection. But he is not running this year.

No doubt, the win in Puerto Rico will stimulate the process of getting Obama named as the Democratic Nominee.

All those who will cross out a name on the election ballot: You surely know your vote will be disqualified for that.

I think it is funny how the same Clinton supporters in the states are so proud Hillary won in Puerto Rico yet they are the same supporters complaining about latinos and hispanics crossing the border. How convenient....

Obama 08

its not really any of my business but Hilliary for me the best person for president by miles, to me she cares about the USA, she has been in politics many years and given many years to the USA; if she did not care she would not have done that; Obama...what exactly will he change?...I think he comes across that he cares more for the title than the job; I hope the super delegates see sense and vote for Hilliary

Obama inly campaing for a day in Puerto Rico. He stopped campainging for the past few contests since he pretty much secured his front runner status when he wong BIG NC. He doesn't want to fight Hillary anylonger because she can play very durty. This way he keeps the level of the campaing more civilized, and Hillary would be disarmed to keep further injurying Obama for the GE. Remember what she said about Obama??? Oh McCain hasw lots of experience and Obam,a a speech!!!

Obama has had a amaizing campaing and he can afford to let her win Puerto Rico without really competing with her.

HE WON THE NOMINATION.

If Puerto Rico mattered for thi contest, Obama would also have been there the entire week like Hillary did.

Bill Clinton spend ths past month, 15 days in PR. Chelsey almost as much, Hillary the past 6 days, and Obama once. Michelle, 1-2 days.

Hillary won because PR has seen through the garbage the Obama camp has spread. Sorry using the word change and actually implimenting it are two different things.

This democrat will "NEVER" vote Obama, even if it means voting againist my party!

To all the pro-Obama people commenting with nasty remarks about Clinton and her motives: You people are truly misguided. OVER 50%of the dems in all contest s have voted for Clinton. She is in the race because she is a viable candidate and millions of us who support her hope that she will save the party from itself. I could accept the negative comments from you if her candidacy was weak or she had a minority of the popular vote, or even if she had been consistently losing since March. But the reality is the opposite; since March, despite all the calls for her to get out, she has won more contests and continues to get more votes than your beloved Barack Obama. What does that say about your candidate and his chances??? I respect Barack Obama and I hope he can take us to the promised land - but I doubt he is the stronger of the candidates and I get annoyed by the childish epithets hurled at Clinton just because she chooses to stay and fight (as her supporters expect her too).

First everybody knows that OBAMA!!! is going to be the presumptive nominee but if Hillary keeps goin then she WILL RUIN ANY TYPE OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE TO BE CHOSEN AS PRESIDENT!!!!

i am tired of hearing clinton suppoters threatening to vote republican or not at all in the ge if hilary does not get her way. this country is in serious trouble, the republicans have had their chance and chose to side with the bush regime instead of against it. who cares which dem wins. lets rally behind the winner and pray they can salvage whats left of our so called american dream.

Puerto Rico likes bill Clinton? What load of Crap is that?

When He ran against Bush in the early 90's Bill Clinton lost big in PR.

I'm curious how or why the media never mentions the real reason why the Clintons are so popular in Puerto Rico. It's because Bill pardoned Terrorists from Puerto Rico who bombed a restaurant full of Americans. In return for this they were guaranteed Puerto Rican and Latino support. People say the media is biased against Hillary, but I have yet to hear anything mentioned about all the laws she broke and how many of them would have sent normal people to prison. The Media needs to really shape up!!!

Her win is probably because cnn gave her so much help. You gave about two seconds time to the bold faced lie she told about being under sniper fire but devoted about two hours a day for the last three weeks on Obamas relation to his minister. You are blaming him for things that others have said just because he may have heard what was said .THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A BOLD FACED LIAR .
WHY CANT YOU BE A LITTLE BIT FAIR, I AM 81 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AND SINCE GEORGE BUSH I AM REGISTERING INDEPOENDANT AND I PUT HILLARY IN THE SAME CATEGORY OR EVEN WORSE IF THAT IS POSSIBLE.

CNN Post this!

Purto Ricans can smell the BS, it's the same as the On Bush spread back in 2000 and 2004.

If you come to the end of the rope just tie it and hang on it that is exactly what Madame is doing.
At least Madame she has done well but Obama has surprised her.

Why do Puerto Ricans even get to vote in American elections? Become a state and start payng federal income taxes and I might feel differently. Until then, they are getting representation without taxation... a pretty sweet deal, especially when you toss in the American tax dollars that the feds distribute down there.

But to answer the question (which CNN commentators don't have the guts to say on the air), Hillary won big and received majority votes across all demographic groups in Puerto Rico mostly because of racism. Other than race, there isn't much difference between socialist Hillary and socialist Obama, is there? Both will take income and profits from people who earn them in order to give them to people who don't.

Or maybe the Puerto Ricans saw through Obama's "wolf -in-Maya Angelou-clothing" charade...

I am a young Republican, but on the democratic side, I like Hillary. Hillary is the best bet for the democrats in November. She has the far-left and the so-called "Reagan Democrats". That is why the Clinton supporters do not like Obama. Obama is the extreme left, while Clinton is a moderate left. Yes, Obama is probably going to be the nominee, but he has so much work to do to get those "Reagan Democrats" that it will be close to impossible. John McCain will get those votes because he is a centered politician, he sees and understands both sides of the political spectrum.

She is getting this credit only because of Bill…thats all. She is not a one -on-one match with Obama overall. If you remove Bill clinton factor, she would have been history 3 mths ago.

So in a fairer comparison, she is no match for him….he is stronger .

If u decide to rip out your eyes to spite your face and vote McCain instead of a democrat, be my guest. McCain will give you something worse to regret than HRC's primary election loss.

And Hillary does not have the popular vote.

Apparently PR is just as racist as WV & KY. They all deserve each other. Too little to late. This is why they will never be a state keep listening to the Clintons. See you in 24 years PR.

****I shall cast my vote either for Clinton or McCain!***correction

Yipee,Hillary wasted some more of her money on a meaningless campaign in PR, what an idiot

"I really hope Clinton wins the nomination. Although I think Clinton and Obama are equally strong, Obama may not be able to beat McCain as old fashioned democratic whites will prefer a white to a non white in the white house." AV

I tend to agree AV. Not about wanting Hillary to get the nomination, because at this point she's lost weeks ago...but, refuses to go away. Pretty annoying, and it screams 'I'm Hillary Clinton, I'm supposed to win the nomination, I'm entitled!'. You know, Bush's and Clintons are the only ones allowed to be president.

I do agree that old fashioned democrats and lots of generally ignorant whites will have a problem supporting a black man who's more intelligent and accomplished than they are. That's a real tough pill for some people to swallow.

The woman (Clinton) thinks this country owes the presidents position to her. I hate sore losers!!!!!! Bad girl...

Yay! Now I can teach my child that rules don't matter because they can be changed at anytime during the game, just look at Hillary Clinton and George W.
I can teach my child that lying is a good thing, just look at Hillary Clinton and George W.
I can teach my child that crying, spluttering, whining, tattling and fingerpointing are positive behavior for anyone wanting to be president, or just in a plain powerful position. Just look at Hillary Clinton and George W.
Y'know, eight years ago I was enraged by this kind of behavior from a presidential candidate, but apparently whats good for the gander is also good for the goose!
Congratulations to Hillary, however. She has proven herself a formidable opponent, albiet a horrendously shameful (and shameless) campainer.

to all hillary supporters
she is a great candidate she fought a very hard fight but she lost fair and square. i think hillary need to blame her staff. they were unprepared and simply out manuevered. do not blame barack for their short comings, plain and simple they did not lobby for the caucus states as if they didnt think it mattered. this race has been over a long time ago.
even if barack does lose he will be okay because he is relatively young man with a excellent political team. he has surrounded himself with intelligent and tireless workers. if he loses i will not be upset., but when you go to that voting booth think about the troops in iraq. think about permanent tax cuts for the rich. roe vs. wade
the economy the gi bill the list could go on and on but it is this moronic thinking that got this great country in the fix that we are in now.
go obama may god continue to bless you and bless hillary too.

La Cucarach, La Cucaracha, get Billy, billy while he's HOT

There are hacks at CNN that are monitoring these posts and only allowing in what they want. WOW what a job to have, some flunkies out of college that cant do anything elle.

This is like FOX and MSNBC that manipulate the truth.

The five owners of the big Media companies are BUILDERBERG MEMBERS

And the price is ??

Puerto Ricans are like most people who live outside the United States, they only see the white economic side of America. American propaganda protrays African Americans as indigent, ignorant lazy criminals, therefore they can't comprehend anything but a white president for the United States. Do your own research on Puerto Rico in reference to college level citizens, professional grade employees and those without a formal education. Then you will understand that the mentality that plagues West Virginia & Kentucky is not unique.

The Primaries are about delegate count and the GE is about the electoral. Like it or not, which I don't, those are the rules, and until it is changed let's stop talking about the popular vote. You cannot change those rules at the end of the game because your team is losing. And lets face it, Clinton and her team are the ones that lost it.

The DNC committee ,on May 31,2008(last Saturday), confiscated four of Hillary Clinton's Michigan DELEGATES she was entitled to ,just from the popular vote she received! This was the last straw for me!!! IF THIS GROSS INJUSTICE IS NOT RECTIFIED I WILL DEFINATELY BE VOTING FOR McCain next November. I will not cool off & change my mind. Also I have Twenty Registered Democrates in my immediate family & they will be voting as I do.

Hillary changes the rules when convenient for her...she should win a basketball game too, if she made more baskets, but not more points....what a joke....she is incredibly selfish...not someone I want in the White House!

Wonder if all those post menopausal women in pantsuits are still chanting Denver like a bunch of pathetic losers today?

The only principle Hillary has is the principle of self. it's all about her. Make no mistake she is fighting for democracy. No she is fighting to fulfil a desperate personal ambition AT ALL COST. Puerto Rico(PR) is just a waste of effort. I don't know if she will still talk about popular vote when PR will not be voting at the General Election. Anything is fair as long as it favours her. Such a desperation!

People open your eyes. The Clintons do not have our best interest at heart. They have their own agenda. Someone just sent me a link about the Vince Foster coverup and boy was I shocked and disappointed. Google the name and see for yourselves. In good conscious I could never vote for Clinton.

Will someone please tell Hillary that the music has stopped and the dance is over? The cute guy left with someone else Hil, get over it.

Congrats to Hillary on a good win, but she will not catch up to Obama

For those Clinton supporters thinking of voting McCain, that's your choice, but please dont be surprised if Gas price goes to $8 a gallon and the war in Iraq takes another turn for the worse..It seems as Americans we tend to be fond of making the same mistakes over again

Regardless of how the election turns out in November. Florida nad Michigan should have stayed punished.

By the way, Hillary will not be the nominee.

The Clintons have left a trail of unpaid bills in every state. Now add Puerto Rico. People there won't get paid, either.

How about they start paying off the $21 million they owe?

"now u see why obama is winning.
she spends 7 days, wasting all her money and time in a place that dose"nt vote in the GE.with 2 days to go.
meanwhile obama cris crossin SD and MONTANA.which he's most likeky to win them both"

Talk about judgement. why spend money on anything that won't count!!!

good for you Hillary , go get em .
you can do it .

The DNC has not voted to install Obama – the process has put him into the lead with a little bit to go before primaries and caucuses are done. Senator Clinton has abandoned the negative attacks against Obama because she realizes how it will alienate her among the Democratic party members and is changing all yardsticks and semantics to try to make herself "electable." She has not won a majority of all votes cast, she lost her majority of delegates (which were the only thing that mattered before she fell behind) and she has lost the majority of states of the Union. She has all right to stay in the race, but the divisiveness of the race in the form of bile from her vocal supporters (HIllary or else we'll hand the country over to 4 more years of Bush-like policies) has no place in civilized politics.

Dona Brazil was talking about “My mama always taught me to play by the rules” and to change the rules is “Cheating” today I’m watching her on CNN trying to talk about Dems coming together and what not what did mama not teacher her about hypocrisy ?
Why don’t you ask her about her comments yesterday..

Hillary,
Goodbye heinous lady. America has heard enough of your bullsh#@! No position in Obama's administration for you. You really should have been more respectful to the future potus. How can we expect you to be a good president when you can't even beat an unknown black freshmen senator for the nomination? By the way how's that $20+ million in debt working out?

P.S. While you were attempting to steal the nomination from Obama your husband was putting a few more notches on his guitar (or is it marks on his saxophone).

Hi Bill,

Do the Ricans know that there are no two Clintons running in the race.

How many "uncommitted" votes will go to Barack Obama in Puerto Rico? How many "exit poll" votes will he receive? None. Nada! The Democratic Party leaders are getting a lesson from Puerto Rico on how a democracy should work. Statehood!

I love it when Clinton people claim that Obama outspent her 3-1 - it is true he outspent Clinton, however, he did not outspend Clinton's 357s and other groups.

I have to admire Hillary's lack of self respect. What some people who try to be politically correct term as "hfighting spirit", I consider as stupidity. Is she that ignorant that se does not see what everyone else does? She does not stand a chance of winning the normination, and the longer she stays in the race, the more convinced the American people should be about her mental ability to govern the most powerful country on earth. After all that she has said and done about Senator Obama, how would anyone expect her to be his partner for change?

L@@K at the SIZE of those Hips...!

Elephantunize your Thighs ..lol

DEFEAT is a bitter pill to swallow! The fat lady has sung! Shes just making a fool of her followers!

Someone said:
HILLARY WILL RUN AS AN INDEPENDANT IF THE DEM DONT COME THROUGH FOR HER.. AND I HOPE SHE DOES
-------------------------------–
I have one question and one comment.

The question: why do Sen. Clinton supporters use all caps?

The comment: Only a Clinton supporter could be so ignorant to not understand that Sen. Clinton is not able to run as an Independent because of those pesky DNC rules as well as those of the GE.

WOW. How many of the last contest has OBAMA lost!!!!. Way to limp to the finish. Nominating the weakest candidate is not the way to win but if they want to force it down are throat I will have to consider who I vote for. Hillary as VP will help the Party in November and if Obama really wants to unite the party he will have to dump the far left ideas and ask her.

She won so big because Obama let her. She spent all her money plus the money of other groups that support her. No big deal - it lets her feel good and it means nothing because Puerto Rico can't even vote in the general election.

The people in Puerto Rico have something better to do than listen to the media who is so pro Obama that it is amazing we even know there is another candidate. By the way what is wrong with going all the way to the convention to make the final decision? The constant call by some democrats to end the primary now and just have a candidate quit amazes me. Isn't this exactly what we are fighting to stop in all of the third world countries. It is called Democracy folks.

Now that Billary`s done, lets all have some peace!

How can anyone claim Obama played dirty? He played by the rules, was the subject of jokes and ridicule from the Clinton camp, had to endure Bill Clinton's rants day after day. He could have come out and shamed the Clintons with the Monika Lewinski, Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Whitewater scandals, but he said nothing. Once or twice he said something to defend himself or to bring the Clintons back down to earth. You think this woman stands for anything except power at all costs? If she stood for anything and had so much pride, etc., she would have dumped her philandering husband after the second affair came out to the public. Puerto Ricans voting for her because they appreciated her husband's presidency. Have they lost their mind?

Obama supporters, go right ahead and continue to trash Puertoricans. You failed to realize that Puetoricans from the states will be voting in the general election. We will remember your nasty comments. My vote will go to John McCain. Trust me will be better off. I will no longer be a Democrat.

Turn out the lights....the party's over.....

Just off the press:

"Gibbs [Obama campaign] also did not rule out the possibility that Obama will seat the Michigan and Florida delegations AT FULL STRENGTH if he is the nominee."

What a sleaze bucket!

more proof that hillary needs to be the dem nominee

Yuck!

Clinton is by far the better (primary)/best (general election) candidate.

Clearly Obama has much support, too.

Both on one ticket?

Clinton as an Independent?

Wow, Look at the picture. Not a single black individual in it. It will fair to say that Puerto Rico is another West Virginia and Kentucky.

CNN please! Why do you continue to distract your viewers with insignificant information, who cares that Clinton won Puerto Rico, it is unfortunate that the Puerto Ricans do not understand how fake the Clintons really are. The Clintons do not care about anyone except themselves. Unite Dems....

Ditto the Michigan voter! Also, Obama wasn't on the ballot in Michigan because HE CHOSE NOT TO BE. Obama will NEVER get my vote because of Michelle. I am so glad she is finally glad to be an American! They will not unite this country. Again, GO Hillary. . .

All those negative comments about Hillary are out of place completely by people who have made them in this log. Mrs. Clinton, by far, has demostrated all she is willing to give this nation everything that it has lost by the Bush bad administration. Obama does not have the experience to start with to deal with the challenges left by Mr. Bush, who has damages the american economy, look deep at the issues advertised by every media on tv, radio, paper, etc. When Mr. Clinton was President, he left a huge surplus on this nation that Bush sent to the war were he is obsessed. We need to respect this lady, she is more knowlegeable and more electable than the others running. If she is not the nomenee, the DNC faces a huge problem. They will loose this coming election.

I am a Canadian citizen, but married to a U.S. citizen and in the middle of obtaining my visa.

I have been following the race pretty closely. Although both candidates have done some flip flopping (which is normal) I would have to say more than not Hillary does not have many "ghosts" in her closet that the American people dont know about. Obama whom is very "fresh" and "new" and yes even very intellegent seems to have a few that are slowly starting to jump out. I am a little disappointed that the race is actually not closer. Obama is a good speaker you got that right, but Hillary definately would be the stronger candidate against McCain, who is a clone of Bush and would continue to hurt the American way of life and economy.

What do Americans really know about Obama vs. Clinton? that should out weigh the entire campaign. Good for Hillary I say, there is no reason for her to bow out, I think she deserves to be noted in the history books along with Obama, they have both made this a very historic event and exciting for the rest of the world.

Go Hillary Go!!!

If Hillary gets back into the White House, it will be as a maid.

Hillary should stay in Puerto Rico, since they are stupid enough to believe all the crap the comes out of her mouth.

Great, another deluded group of individuals who think Clinton can win the nomination.

Yawn.

I'm from Michigan and i think the DNC's decision yesterday was fair. We broke the rules and we have to pay for it. Go Obama!!!!!

oh yea congrats on P.R. senator Clinton.

Hillary and her suppporters are Status Quo.

Thank God for 'CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN'.

I have lost all respect for the Clintons. With the vile manner Hillary supporter are expressing themselves proves the point Hillary is a hateful divisive entity.

Question... Why is it so hard to say she won because she deserved to win?

Pretty sure the media has done enough damage already... Come on, she has been winning despite media that hates her and running against someone who has four times the money and still can't win... She is a leader and we do not need a President who can not make a decision unless the media pressures him into it (Rev. Wright would be a good example).

One more question... Can anyone PLEASE just name five things that Barrack Hussein Obama (ooops said his middle name) has done for his state or our country in the VERY short time he has held a public office?

Two things?

Thought so... If Senator Clinton does not get the nomination, I will write her name in or vote McCain.

Hey Cnn. What's taking so long with adding comments to other posts.

You guys taking the day off?

Just a point of fact... I have seen videos of Bill Clinton promising statehood to the Puerto Ricans. I would guess that draws votes big time.

Senator Clinton "Won Big" because Democrats do not trust their country to an person with no experience and 20 years of hearing the hate-speak of his church.

I predict 4 candidates in November:

Hillary Independent

McAIN Republican

Nadar Independent

Obama Democrat

just wait....

Michigan Voter........."Hillary holds the keys to the White House"! ...I wouldn't dought it.....she stole every thing else while she was there.

Congratulations Obama. You fought a great fight, you kept the course and you won. Fair and Square.

If Clinton were truely the winner with the most popular votes then we all would know it. There would be no need for the loud repeatitive announcements.
Notice the the Obama camp needs not yell about winning. Thats because everyone knows it.
I guess experience didnt matter huh Hillary.

I can feel the change, I am fired up and I am ready to go.

Looks like it is Obama's GIFT to her as PR does not matter in GE and Barack moved on to states that matter in GE!

It is all part of Obama's Strategy

Hillary should accept this GIFT from Obama and concede now. Otherwise, she won't have another victory moment to Concede and Step out

Wow, watching the Hillary supporters consistently repeat soundbytes that make no sense with objective analysis depresses me about the state of our country. Anyone who thinks that anyone is stealing something from Hillary rather than vice versa really needs to sit back and think for yourself. Since when did politicans have "fans" instead of "voters"? This is getting silly.

As I stated in the "Clinton, 'This is Puerto Rico's Time'" comments that some moderator never accepted for whatever reason, this is Puerto Rico's time.

There time is right now, because after today they will be completely forgotten for another four years until the next primary.

why does it matter what puerto rico thinks? they don't vote in the general election. I'm confused as to why this makes any difference to anyone but the hillary supporters in denial

The Clitons are just hungry for power. Hey don't care about the party any more! They already divide the party that's the reson she has stay in this race even she new she can win. Very scary people!!!

go CLINTON on to the Whitehouse

If the DNC "leadership" wants to ignore these clear-as-day signs and nominate a loser for November, then they'll only have themselves to blame.

The DNC is behaving more and more like a Communist "politburo" that decrees who will be the "people's" candidate.

Now is the perfect time for Hillary to bow out, but she will not. Its not in her (or her campaign's) nature to be gracious. HRC panders to the lowest common denominator (gas tax and "obliterate" Iran), makes unrealistic campaign promises that she cannot deliver (400,000 jobs in New York), deceives and exaggerates (Bosnia snipers, negotiate Irish peace) and tears down (RFK/ JFK "a"- word references, anti-party-unity rhetoric). HRC even had the audacity to quote and rely on Karl Rove, the "architecht" who designed the failed Bush Presidency, perhaps the worst in American history. Its time to turn the page and write a new chapter in American history. As we have seen with Rove/Bush/Cheney Presidency, we should not elect a deceptive political "campaigning" president (i.e., Scott McClellen's book), whose only concern is winning elections at all costs. We must change Washington politics entirely with a new brand of leadership that is less concerned with 24/7 political campaigning, but will often take principled stands for America, command respect for the instiution of the Presidency and try to actually deliver for the American people because it is the right thing to do.

I got the impresion that 75% of the people in Puerto Rico are from New York. It's also another place where Obama didn't make a big effort to campaign. Puerto Rico isn't going to have any impact on the General election.

"I will write your name in if you are not on the ballot Hillary"

Go ahead, throw your vote away!! Let McShame win the white house so we can have 4 more years of republicans. Obama is the real deal, it's obvious that he's different from Hillary and her washington game-playing. Hillary is a lame duck who has never accomplished anything. Oh wait, except NAFTA, which she now refuses to take credit for.

Go Hillary! How about running as an Independent after Yesterday's mess in Washington. That is something for the Rules' Committee to think about. Did my momma tell me to play by the rule, Donna. I'll never listen to her again on CNN. Why didn't she get Gore elected? Did her momma tell her not to.

I don't see how this makes HRC more electable if Puerto Ricans cannot vote in the General Election. When HRC finishes with whatever she's doing ; the general election will have been handed to McSame on a silver platter. Sad,Sad,Sad.

Congratulations Hillary........they don't even vote in November!!!!!!!!!!! You're a happy loser..........you Clintons need to back out of the lime light. Your husband cost my husbnad and thousands of others their jobs. Retire the name. You aren't as popular as you think!

Hillary has maintained a campaign that has only one divisive message and one focus point; that is, "if I can't have the White House, neither can Obama, and screw the Democratic Party!

Let's all remember, when Obama won the Guam primary, shortly after Howard Wolfson said "You don't win nominations in Guam."

It's really sad that they can so easily dismiss Guam as not mattering, yet care so much about Puerto Rico, where they win... how hypocritical can this campaign get? How many more people can Clinton exploit?

With or without the vote from the Democrat convention yesterday, Obama would still win the Primaries.

I don't know – Hillary may be able to get the Dem. nomination if she has enough money and/or favors that she can give away she may be able to take it – but she cannot earn the nomination at this point.

Unlike the infidels on TV the other day at the meeting about MI & FL, I'm not voting republican if Obama is on the ticket. What a bunch of mongrels – threatening to vote for McCain if Hillary loses.

Obama's vs. Clinton's platforms are closer than Clinton's vs. McCain's – only an idiot votes to hurt their countries future out of spite.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

Schneider ane Wolf Blitzer's calim that Clinton is leading the popular vote has been disputed by MSNBC. Clinton is estimated to get a net of more than 100,000 from Purto Rico. Counting in Florida popular vote, Clinton will be still behind Obama in the populaer vote. Clinton can try to claim Michigan votes, but it will not succeed if caucas votes are counted. There is no way that Clinton can claim the popular votes now.

It was purely CNN institutional attmpet to put Clinton on the ticket as VP.
This claim of Clinton's popular vote is a trash journalism, CNN and I challenge you to post this message.

CONGRATULATIONS – every Success

We Love You Sen. Hillary

Like I said, before. PuertoRicans do not even like their own darker-skinned natives . Do you think they will overall vote for a BLACK MAN?
Got to be kidding me. I work with them and see how they always veer towards the white folk in the office. Who care what they say.? They cannot vote in the General anyway. ANOTHER HILLARY STRATEGY TO DRAG THIS PROCESS OUT. America is in for some world troubles ahead in a couple years, so let her be the one to take the hits. OBAMA will be safe.

You know Toobin is such a putz he is talking about Obama drawing crowds and McCain doesn't and McCain is leading him in alot of states. CNN you have the most idiotic political team on cable news.

Hillary will make sure McCain wins in November.

If McCain does win in November, it will be Hillary's fault. She's destroying the party for her own selfish wants. Not that of the people's.

More people have voted for Obama.

Hillary DOES NOT have the popular majority or she would be winning.

Hillary will go down in Histroy as a destroyer!

It's funny to hear in the media that Clinton's supporters believe that Hillary was treated unfairly. I recall Hillary ALWAYS attacking Obama. Does Hillary truly feel she was treated unfairly?? I cannot wait till this is over and Obama takes the stage as the Democrat's nominee.

Hillary thinks she is entitled to become president just because she has been in Washington longer. That's typical of the Clinton.

This is going to end up being decided by the super-delegates, and by my math she is going to need around 175 to 180 delegates to go her way. Anyone else I would say no way, but she is a long time Washington insider whose husband is a former president. I predict a lot of backroom deals and latenight phone calls from here on in. It's a longshot but not out of the realm of possibility!

Way to go Dems, the party is more divided than ever. From the spectical I watched yesterday from the decision made from the DNC's rules and by-laws committee stripping the people of Florida and Michigan of their votes to the racist and sexist comments made by representatives of both camps and finally the two racist pastors and an anti-American church. Way too much drama for me.

McCain 08

"McCain Is Going To Be Our Next President !!!!! .

And Democrats Like Me Are Going To Make Sure ."

This is so ignorant on so many levels, but if that's the way you feel please do vote McCain, you're ignorance will fit right in on "the right". Obama is a uniter unlike Hillary. The youth of the country has spoken and will speak in November, we're the ones that are going have to pay for current policy mistakes, ones that Hillary Clinton voted for!

Obalegerwrigh.......... The Clintons fooled the HELL out of The Puerto Ricans.........2 Weeks of lies.Now it is time to face the music (LAST DANCE)

Hillary won because they felt sorry for her.

Hillary has to go somewhere the people don't know the truth about her. They are spending all of there money on vacation.

So basically, she won big because her last name is 'Clinton'.

I am sure you have taken Clinton's win and somehow marginalized it as you have done all along. I hope Clinton got some enjoyment from her Puerto Rico campaigning – she deserves it. She should stay in the race and not be pressured out by the political insiders or the media who are delighting in figuring out the day Obama will get his magic number. The sexism so apparent all along is now becoming more transparent. Clinton's campaign was much more disadvantaged by sexism then Obama's was by racism. If anything, race propelled 90% of Blacks to got vote for him. CNN ran an endless series on Race & Politics during the primaries – did CNN ever once run a series on Gender & Politics? This is how sexism gets acted-out. Clinton will have more of the popular vote and should stay until the final dust settles in August and I will be rooting for her until the final curtain falls on either Clinton or Obama – as the fates decide – not CNN.

Puerto Ricans are dumber than the country gives them credit for.

Hillary is trying her best to make this primary a sexist and racist issue.
She has destroyed this party with her Karl Rove tactics. It sounds like a republican disguised as a democrat. She claims she doesn't want to disinfranchise voters and that is exactly what she is doing with her make believe mathamatics! She's bad on finances, her campaign debt tells you that! Wake up poor white america, your race is screwing you again along with black america! REMEMBER NAFTA?
White America, Latino America, if you don't want to vote for a black man, vote for equality, because you know you're not looked at as equals!

Can't wait to hear what's next from the Putrid Pulpit of Obama's Church.
Does anyone really believe he is out of that ministry of malice?

Le's be honest here – she promised them statehood something her husband didn't do in his 8 years. Hillary spent 6 days there plus chelsea and bill another 13. What happened to the gas tax holiday?

Are Clintons' supporters saying that because she won these last states big so she should be the nominee? There is a rule for counting the winner. So far, Obama won the maximum pledged delegates, more states, more superdelegates and more popular votes. The Clintons' popular vote count only count where Clintons won disenfranchising voters where Obama won. so, it seems, to Clintons' supporters , this primary season is all about CLINTON. Votes are counted only where she won but not where Obama won. Under such tally, of course Clinton won but won against who? Against Herself? Or against the majority of voters?
She is out to destroy the Democrat party. If she wants to run with her supporters as an individual then leave the party and run as an Independent.

Congrats to Hilliary!!! I have to wonder though, if she won based on her name, her husband name or the issues. I respect the people in PR vote. I wish they will obatain statehood.

OK, Congratulations "Bill"....hmm....I mean "Hillary" Clinton.......Can we move on now?......This victory by Clinton is irrelevant as Puerto Ricans cant even vote in the general elections.......I can honestly tell you that most people in PR dont care, as is reflected in the low voter turnout.

Sally from Cali,

Bush 3rd term = Obama becoming President. Didn't Bush run a "uniter not a divider campaign, outside Washington experience, can work with the members of the opposite party....Look at the mess this country is in." Who is Obama? He reminds me of Bush in 2000.

McCain has a bigger appeal to Independents than Obama.

I'll be voting for McCain or Hillary as a "write-in candidate"

By the way, I am a bi-racial college student (white/asian) in Kansas.

wait, are puerto ricans also backwards racists as well?

Oh Gloria shut up I am so sick of you, Toobin, Brazile and Anderson Blooper's comments. CNN really hires the bottom of the barrel.

You have to remember Bill and Chelsey wer counting the paper BLLOTS....... 3 for Hillary .......... 5 in the trash can for Obama. All three of them were not in Porte Rico for 15 days for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they were on a mission......

Well, that was fun. I hope she enjoyed spending a couple weeks on an island. Now back to the US where the majority of Americans don't like her. What a sad reality check, I am sure she wishes she could stay and be Madam President of Puerto Rico, at least they want her there.

I laugh at all the people who say Hillary or McCain!

It just shows how shallow their voting is. They might as well say "I am a sore loser!" Or, "I will only vote for white candidates!." People call Obama supporters as stupid people following a craze. Yet Hillary supports are following a crazy person. It shows when you vote for a candidate and not for the issues a candidate supports. So, vote for your Clinton dynasty or vote for your 100 more years of war. Luckily the rest of the country will be voting for a candidate who has plans to bring about real change

She won in a big way there because Obama only spent 2 days there & what, the whole Clinton family camped out there for the last couple of weeks. All tthose people know is they liked Bill Clinton. All he has to do is go in & say, vote for Hillary & we'll get you statehood. Obama has got bigger fish to fry coming up ahead. Let her have her last win. Who cares?

If Hillary represents the true will of the people, why is she not the front runner? With all of her history and experience (?), why is he not ahead of some young unknown? Hillary and all of her current supporters are crazy. If she is the right choice, why hasn't the people and the party (super delegates) not chosen her.

I will forever be bewildered as to how we Americans can look at the same thing and see different outcomes. If Hillary won because of her policies OK, if any other reason, its a sad commentary on our society. I will be glad when this whoe thing is over with, whichever democrat gets the nod, they will have my vote. Although if it's Hillary, it will be hard cause I don't like her decisive tactics, however, she is so much better than McCain that its a no-brainer to vote for her.

Hillary you are simply the best. Hillary or John McCain

SamSunny
There are Puerto Rican Soldiers Fighting in Irag, and all recent wars,
This country has gone to. Puerto Rico deseves equal representation in Washington D.C.

Clinton ran circles around Obama in the debates, and is a superior candidate in every way. Why shouldn't she win Puerto Rico?

Maybe people there are independent thinkers who don't read the vicious press against Clinton in the NYTimes etc or listen to the misogyny of many Democratic party leaders. THOSE two are the real reason Clinton has fallen behind in this race.

Cliton supporters will not support Obama becasue he is unfit to be the President of the US. At first we thought it was lack of experience. But now we know it is fatally flawed judgment as well. His CLOSE friends and advisors have been Rev Wright and this vicious man Pfleger. Hating white people and hating women should not make someone eligible for the White House. Shame on the Democratic party for allowing this to happen. Hopefully they will see the light before the convention.

Regardless of what happens in this election, it is very obvious that Obama and the DNC do not have the power to unite the party. Try as they may....The ONLY person who can united the party is Hillary and that's what really bothers them, that she has more power then they do.

Holding a position in government doesn't mean you have power, just position. Hillary may not get the nomination, she may not be VP, but she has the power that eludes them.

For those Obama supporters (Part-time Democrats), you are the same people that put Bush in office in the first place...Either by believing that stay the course crap or you didn't vote at all. So frankly I don't believe you have right to criticize anyone, about anything!

Senator Obama has proven that he is anti-woman and is a racist! I would never vote for him. He will never win in November and will easily hand the republicans a victory yet again. Ted Kennedy needs a good kick in the tail.

I realy don't understand the dems who will vote for McCain.
I just can't believe that people can be that stupid.
They will vote out of anger and bitternes over the lost of Hillary.
But the programs of Hillary and Obama alre almost the same!
Voting for Mccain is voting for the past and that past (8 years)
brougt your country a economic disaster, a war that cost the life
of so many of your young boys and girls and a lot of disrespect
in the whole world. From Europe we look at Bush and McCain if
it were Jokers! As I see it, Barack Obama won a fair election and
I think it is great when he will be your next President. I am sorry for
Hillary but she had a very bad campain(team). She made herself
untrustworthy by her sniperfirestory. She realy believed her story and that is unforgiveble because it is importaint that you can trust the words of a President.
so dems of the USA, unite. overcome differentcy and stand behind
the democratic nomine.

With love from the Netherlands
Europe for Obama!

Only you and CNN care. Who else cares? Waste of your energy.

Well we ALL know in PR , the whiter the better! So ofcourse they would choose Hilary

Obama is such a racist; how can anyone vote for someone who hates white people? Whites built America and are its pillar of strength. Vote Hillary 08!

Why is it people mention Bill as an adviser or help to Hillary in the White House as a positive factor. My feeling is that Bill would be in New York City chasing tai....working on his foundation. If (Please God no) Hillary got in, I doubt Bill would ever spend a night in the White House. I've wondered if Bill and Hill even live together anymore.

Will CNN post this hope so ...

My question is this I thought people were voting for the candiate, if this is true then she won because of her husbands popularity there on the island. Last time it wasn't Bill running for president but Hillary, goes to show that if she is elected president we know who twill be really there don't we.

And with all of her pandering saying you should be allowed to become a state, hum hello Clinton they have been offered it quite a few times and everyime they vote it down.

My only hope is once this is once that this is all over and Clinton isn't the nominee that she does the right thing and tries to bring in her crazy supporterss to vote for the Democratic nominee.

Looks like all Obama has been winning lately is the Audacity of NOPE.

If Puerto Rico cannot vote in the general election, why do their votes make her more popular?

the people are screaming to the superdelegates...we want Hillary Clinton......get rid of those superdelegates and this won't happen again

Hillary is beating Obama in Puerto Rico with a huge margin! If Obama is claiming he is the front runner, why he still at this point in the race, cannot close the deal? If he's that good, shouldn't he be winning Puerto Rico today? HILLARY '08

"If Obama is the "nominee" then why is Clinton winning all of these primaries at the end of the race?"

Well Jason, consider that Obama didn't do much of anything in Puerto Rico because he is focusing on the general election, in which PR has no say. Indeed, he has been focusing on the general election for the past 2 weeks. Come Tuesday night, he and Sen. Clinton will have split the last 16 contests down the middle. Good for her. Unfortunately for her, he almost doubled the number of primaries and caucuses she won before those 16.

Its all over. When the polls close on Tuesday the party delegates will end this.

Go Obama 08

Congrats to Hillary on her large win, I am with you till the end...

Question: If Obama thinks as he does that this election is his, why did he not allow the seating of the Florida and Michigan voters, was he afraid this race is not as close as he claims?? We all know the story and how the people there were punished for something they had no control over, their elected officials changed the rules, not the people, so why are they being punished for what their officials did, why not put it to the people and let them decide whether to move the date or not... No, that would have been the correct thing to do so that is out..

As for Michigan, Obama pulled his name off, why, he was not told to remove his name, even if the people were told this voting did not count, why remove your name, I guess it's ok to not want to play in the ballgame but if your team wins you want to share in the winnings. I say let the people who voted uncommited revote, seems fair to me.. haha Well don't bash me because I support Hillary, this is America folks...

Turnout is abysmally low at 10 percent. There goes the pant suit lady's popular vote arguement. I cant wait to hear her new logic for claiming nomination.

Actually the vote in Puerto Rico is essentially irrelevant. It won't change the delegate count much and the island cannot vote in the general election. Also, it is clear that many who had the opportuity to vote – did not. The vote does allow Billary to leave this race with a little dignity- something she hasn't displayed much of as she campaigned with a republican demeanor.

On to November = Barack for president.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is just wasting everyones time and money. The media has been very generous to her by duping the American public into thinking its a tight race just so they can get a story. She had no chance of winning this primary since March 4th. Everyone is just catering to the rich girl letting her run just because she is too spoiled to realize she has lost.

I was expecting a 60-40 win, but it looks like its gonna be 70-30. One of the few states where she outspent him 3-to-1.

Still, Obama is the presumptive nominee. Montana & South Dakota will go for him, so it'll end well for him.

CONGRATULATIONS HILLARY!!!

Now it's over and can we move on?

*yawn*

GAME OVER HILLARY

I will never vote for Puerto Rico to be a state.

Obama!!!

I HATE Hillary. Her behavior in these primaries as well as her husband's has been beyond the pale. I now know why the GOP hated the Clintons so much.

-36 year old female, white, Indepedent, all-women college educated, masters degree as well

Lets see what happens tomorrow when the Michelle Obama video is played. Not sure of any of you heard yet, but supposedly MO was making racist "whitey" statements at her so-called old church. The video is supposed to be aired tomorrow. Maybe this is what Hillary was waiting for and lets see if she can still take the nomination from Barack.

If and when Barack Obama wins the democratic nomination and maybe even the presidency, what will he really do, and where can he start with his CHANGE and be successful? My biggest fear is that all of the people who want him to be the president of the United States and will vote for him right now, will be the same people who will turn on him if all of the things that he has been speaking of don't come true.

Hillary's last win...how sweet it is that she is finally done!, now we can get on with the General Election. Wrap it up Tuesday Obama!..

is Puerto Rico a state?? nope.

California voter, what will your argument be for Senator Clinton continuing when she loses in South Dakota in Montana on Tuesday? I think it's wonderful that she won in Puerto Rico which isn't going to count in the General Election. I am sure her next argument will be that America doesn't care enough about Puerto Rico to make it a state! What I find is a shame how on one hand she can say, "We need to unite the party" and then in the next breath talk about how the party and the media have failed her. It's obvious she is pandering to unintelligent people. Oh yeah...that's right!

What a sad ending to Axelrod's big boisterous campaign. No one has mentioned "hope" or "change" in a very long time. It's all math, math, math.

Well, Hillary proved that she can win uncontested election. The popular votes she get from Puerto Rico, do not mean much since the metric that determines who is the nominee, delegates, has already been decided. For the Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain, just remember, we can do the same thing to you in 2012, 2016, or whenever Hillary decides to try again.

Barack Obama is officially an Uncle Tom. By quittting Trinity Church and walking out on his black brothers who need his support, he shows us that all he wants are votes and to make it worse, white votes at that.

I love Hillary!!!! I will never give up on you!

Hillary08

It is over for her. She has campaign excellent but it is time to look to the future- general election. Tuesday is the day that Obama will be the Democratic Nom !!!!!!

Obama 08

Maybe she promised that Puerto Rico would be the 51st state. The only way she could win would be by making such ridiculous promises that she can't fulfill, as she's been doing all along!

According to the CNN exit polls, 29% of the Hillary Clinton vote came from people who felt that her being white was a significant positive factor in determining their vote. This comes after WV and KY, where 27% and 26%, respectively, of the Clinton voters valued her whiteness over Obama's blackness.

There is a lot of talk in the media about Hillary Clinton attracting the Reagan Democrats. This is incorrect; Hillary Clinton's solid base is the old George Wallace Democrats.

Please help me get out of this bizarroland....she won PR...who the heck cares...they do not vote in the General Election and they are hispanic...which means they are not probably too big on African Americans...let's all be honest. Hillary is toast...please report on that instead of this ridiculousness

How does this matter in the GE? PR can't vote. This "victory" is largely empty. PR will just become a tool for the HRC campaign to point to a bogus argument about the popular vote. All the while, Hillary will continue to ignore the caucus states in that tally and disenfranchise FL and MI voters that didn't go to the booths because they followed party rules.

Bah! I'm so over her.

"If Obama is the "nominee" then why is Clinton winning all of these primaries at the end of the race?"

--If Hillary is "supposed" to be the nominee why isn't she leading in pledge delegates. You know, winning by the metrics of the game. Barack is not the nominee because he clearly does not have the number needed to win. But Hillary will not be the nominee because she CAN'T reach that number. You are so stupid!

Dont you guys love how puerto rico votes counts even thoe they dont pay taxes.

Sorry Obama Supporters. Your all wrong, If Democrats allocated the delegates the same way Republicans do Hillary would be ahead. Obama has won all the Republican states. Big woop!! HELLO?!?!? OBAMA SUPPORTERS THOSE STATES WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THE GENERAL ANYWAY!!!
Hillary Clinton is the true Democratic Nominee, she won both the big dem states and the swing states. She has every right to take this to the convention.

Hillary 2008 if not then Mccain 2008

Hillary is the best candidate to win the white house! Let's face the truth without Hillary, barack will never get the same attention right now. He's lucky Hillary is very popular. He is getting advertisement for free.

Hillary or John McCain 2008!

Who cares anymore. Barack already clinched the Nomination the Clintons are useless and I'm glad this primary season is over. Only worthy news is how much in DEBT is the Clinton Campaign after doing so much in Puerto Rico. Just my 2 cents

How much sexist can you get - pinning Clinton's win on her husband's popularity!!!

For those who decide to vote for McCain instead of the Dem nominee (Obama).... I hope you get the worst 4yrs a Pres can offer, to show what a big mistake you have caused ....Cuz that's what you deserver for turning your back on Your Party.... Hilliary has caused chaos in misleading her supports to believing in such lies and making them think that She has won the race, but it's being taking away from her....

Primary are won by DELEGATS not by POPULAR votes... same way the White House is Won by ELECTORAL College not by POPULAR votes.

Well, it appears Clinton will NOT be winning in the popular vote with only 500,000 puerto ricans turning out to vote.

Not that winning the popular vote matters, especially since many caucus states do not get their total voters counted towards the popular vote and since the election is based on winning the most DELEGATES.

Now Clinton has no argument. Absolutely, zero point to be in the race after Tuesday. I can see the remaining superdelegates to put Obama over the top.

I can not see him choosing her as his VP given all of the negative press and negative divisions that come with Hillary and Bill. She can only hope that old women do not turn out to vote and McCain wins so she can try again in 2012 if Obama does not want to try again in 2012.

If those old ladies and poor rural voters refuse to vote for Obama then they are not true democrats and they must feel that the economic, domestic and foreign policies of Bush/McCain and the republicans is the correct direction for our country.

CNN never posts my comments b/c they love Billary.

With all these positives for Sen. Clinton, why is the turnout so low?

As a woman, I hope in my life time to finally see a woman president, who is not only the best person for the job, but one who got there on her own merit and not because of her last name.

Congrats and Good bye. You will always be my hero. Please help our party to unite. I am happy that you have made your point.

She'll do anything to get a vote even with people that can't vote for president-lol

Why do so many people who posted on this matter dislike Bill Clinton? Which part of his term wasn't good enough for you – the peace or the prosperity?

Put the Kool-Aid down.

This appears to be a strongly racially determined outcome. Clinton has consistently won large majorities among Hispanics in nearly all the states. It simply cannot be her programs or policies that is driving the voters. Having lived in NYC for many years, and witnessed the tensions and jealousies between the Blacks and the Hispanics, I think the outcome here was an entirely predictable and sad commentary on the nature of race relations in the United States.

I forgot Hillary was still in the race! I was too busy tuning in to Obama and Mccain debate about issues. The way she runs her campiagn will determine how she runs America, and like she's doing with her campaign, she will lead America into further debt.

california voter

She deserves nothing. She's done nothing but run a dirty campaign.

I hope she gets out soon.

We need to unite not divide.

WOW! Hillary won PR! Great news. At least she has a good # of people who should be willing to write a check for her to payback the $20,000,000 or so debt. Common PR, join WV and Kentucky to pay off her debt. She used some of that money to campaign for you guys, so make sure you write a check to pay off that debt. I personally don't think that debt should be paid out of Obama's funds as current democratic rule stipulates. The least Clinton's supporters can do to bid her farewell is to start writing their checks for her campaign now. Please start doing that now since you felt she was the right candidate for change. Don't just vote, show your financial support especially the wealthy PR who voted for her. Start sending in your "De Niro".

Let's see... Hillary gave Bush the right to invade Iraq, has lied about being under sniper rifle, changed her stance on Michigan and Florida once she realized she needed their votes, called Bush the candidate to drink with and has been seen drinking with constituents more than anyone else, supported NAFTA, stole a Senate seat from a much, much more qualified female in New York, makes fun of Barack for speaking about his wins in the Virgin Islands and Guam yet praises her own victory in a territory that doesn't vote in the general election, has called Obama an elitist and pointed to his degree yet she is a Yale graduate and supports education but apparently not intellectualism, likes shooting guns and gun control...

Part of me was hoping Hillary would get the nomination so her supporters would realize they had John Kerry 2008 on their hands. Doesn't anyone remember Rush Limbaugh and dozens of other conservative pundits urging Republicans to get Hillary in office because they have more on her to defeat her? I for one am glad that Hillary's band of hypocrites will stick with her through November. We don't need their idiocracy screwing up our country again.

You forgot to mention in your article that 1/3 of all voters said that they didn't even know enough about Obama to consider voting for him. Perhaps his one day visit didn't impress them? It seems that Obama doesn't bother to get to know those voters if he is not favored to win in their area. Who will he favor if he becomes president?

Hillary' s nothing but a sore looser, yet she's hoping for a miracle.
She probably made promises to Puerto Rico. HRC you'd be respected more ,if you leave the race, in pride, and accept Americans for whom they chose (Obama) to guide and put this country on the right track.

Who cares she have made a mess of the party I have no more respect for her none . She can win the last two who cares . She is done!! No VP job for her either , I hope it's John Edwards . It's time to move forward and bring respect back to the party and the White House. Puerto Rico voted for Bill really not for her. So do you think we really care "NOT" . Do they vote in the GE, No they don't . We will come together just watch don't count our party out . That will be a big mistake.

Michigan Voter!!!
You are right...
Hillary holds the keys to the White House because Hillary never returned the keys .
She won't hold them for long.

Inspite of Hillary's big wins, the media, rich people, democrat leaders, and super delegates are still deaf and blind for supporting the ever hypocrite barack obama!

To Michigan Voter !!

You sound like a two year old having a terrible two moment.

Get over it.

@all "hardcore" Clinton supporter ...

Here is what we have. Barack Obama will be very most likely the democratic nominee for the presidential election. Whether you like or not.
You're upset because your favorite candidate won't get the nomination ?. I can understand that. But if somebody claims that he's a democrat and then would rather vote for McCain than for Obama (and you vote for McCain even if you don't vote or write Clintons name in because your vote will be one vote less for the democratic nominee) is beyond me.

This primary is meaningless and a sham. The real story is that 100,000 Puerto Ricans staged a protest today for independence in San Juan. CNN and the other outlets choose to keep the American public in the dark.

I love the Clinton supporters here who say she has more of the popular vote – ignoring the caucus states that Obama won in overwhelming fashion and pretending Obama has 0 support from Michigan. And that's what it means to avoid "disenfranchising" voters. Right.

Democrats need to get real. Obama can not beat McCain and even if he does, he will get destroy by the forces in Washington. He has gotten a free ride because the media crowned him long ago and turned blind eyes on him. He has not gone through any scrutiny unlike all presidential candidates. Americans can not be handed a media-created president as was the case with George W.

I know Hillary and i am sticking with her.

Hillary Holds The Keys To The White House !!!!! . She has The Most Support ( Popular Vote ) The True Will Of The People !!!!

We Have Witnessed The Obama Campaign , The DNC , And The Media Stealing The Nomination Form Hillary . Hillary is A Fighter , And So Are Her Supporters . We Will Right This Wrong , We Will Support Sen. John McCain .

McCain Is Going To Be Our Next President !!!!! .

And Democrats Like Me Are Going To Make Sure .

Obama , And The Pool Of Racist Anti – American Radicals He Swims With , Never get into Our White House .

Hillary , Or John McCain 2008
========================

I will second that...take it all the way to the convention Hillary.

Obama will NEVER win in November!!

It is unfortunate one of your "best political team on TV" thinks PR does not matter!! What a comment by Jeffery (the OJ lawyer) .When Hillary wins – according to him and the female commentator (not Donna B) are always quick to make light of it , and build up whatever Barrack is (or is not) doing. His faults are minimized by the two of them, but let Hillary walk on stage and they find something critical to comment on. How about showing a little less bias!! Stop inflicting your personal feelings and support towards a specific candidate on the voting public. Try to respect everyone person who has a right to vote in this election, even if they don't vote for your candidate.

This is too sad. I wish Hillary just did what is best for the democratic party and ended her candidacy. She will not win the nomination, even if the Michigan and Florida delegates were awarded to her (based on votes for her) – do the math. She is splitting the democratic party, and even if she for some reason ends up winning/stealing the nomination, people at this point do not like her, see her as a liar, and she will not win.

President McCain should be happy about all this. No need to campaign, just give the democrats enough time, and we will see another republican president (scary thought)

Congrats Hillary!!!!! – GO ALL THE WAY GIRL!!!

We don’t want a professional hypocrite in office.

One who loves Rev. Wright until it’s politically expedient.

So Donna Brazile said Wednesday is another day, huh? Didn't she also say if they seated any of the delegates from Florida and Michigan she would quit the DNC? I wonder if Wednesday is her last day.

Clinton is down to earth to get what she wants. Well she reminds me so much of Cleopatra. I pity those who still consider her winning because her time is running out. If she has interest in Americans she should considering working with Obama to unify the party and people of america

blah blah blah third bush term.you obamabots need some fresh material.it will take more then that to win

because all the states left in the primary are predominately white states, – PR.... But ask any PRican and they will tell you, they prefer to be considered white then blk...

And how can someone be a Dem and vote for a republican who isn't willing to fight for what you believe in... makes no sense... your supposed to stand by your party no matter what ....

Go! Hillary... Walk away.... Don't throw you're life away on Loser's...
"Male Chauvenistic Democrat's"...

M.C.-
You must have your head in the sand as is expected.
This is the same woman who said... "Now you all know the Michigan won't count for anything."
Later.... "Ooops, I am behind.... count all the votes, I am an advocate for the disenfranchised.. count all the votes.. Shhh... only because I need them now. Count them all."
Give me a break.
How easily you all can be deceived by the Clinton's.
Remarkable.

I think everyone should encourage Hillary to run as an indpendent if the dems screw her. It's not right that she gets the most votes overall and Hussein receives the nomination because of super delegates.

I cannot find anywhere in the constitution where superdelegates are mentioned. If someone took this factor to court, I think they would win.
It is circumventing the electorate. The electoral college is bad enough without adding superdelegates. But then dems will do anything trying to win.

To Jason's Question:
Why is Hillary winning those primeries and not the nomanee? Good question.

OBAMA WILL SAVE US ALL NOT BILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just goes to show you that Puerto Rico has no sense of politics.

I hope Hillary runs as an Independent. Obama and McCain don't appeal to me. If she doesn't run as an Independent, I'm writing in her name in November.

What a minute, if Obama is the nominee ...why can this thing go to the convention? Because, though the media call him such ... he isn't that way officially yet. Anyway, working in the rules ...is fantastic for Obama ...he stripped the other candidates off the ballot in Chicogo using the rules. Yet, this time, he is going to have to actually compete against someone ...so I do hope Hillary will stay in there to the end.

Win or lose, it will make one candidate stronger in the finals, because Obama can finally say ...he did win this one ...fair and ...not as crook as the last one.

I am of Puerto Rican heritage and all I can says is there are a lot dumb and naive Puerto Ricans on that island. They just vote based on name recognition. Clintons have never done anything for the Puerto Rican community in New York or anywhere. Never thought I would say this but I am glad they can't vote in the general election. Go Obama!

The unspoken (unspeakable?) reason for her win is that a black candidate, barring local political idiosyncrasies, will not do well among Hispanics. The tension between the two groups is undeniable, as any glance at the situation in LA will reveal.

In the last three years, the US Hispanic population has risen from (officially) 12.8% of the total to 15%. By 2012, it will have risen to almost 18%.

This election season will be the first and last window of opportunity for a black presidential candidate. In the future, Hispanics will justifiably demand that one of their own be "chosen."

she won big because Latinos are racist, they don't even like their own black hispanics , i'm not suprised at all after studying South America extensively I already know she is their great WHITE hope that they wish they can someday be themselves.

I thought PR'cans didnt WANT to be part of USA? Is this another of those paradoxes where Bill tried to 'confuse' the impeachers by mincing his words ... just as she did and does on numerous occasions? Beware PR'cans, you wont get statehood under those auspices.... remember her words 'PR'cans should get to vote in the general'..... that is all.... neither candidate is in favor of statehood ...why do the minorities STILL want to be underdogs? When r u going to get out of that rut and fight to take the reins yourselves? Why must we depend on superior races to hold our hands? Arent we already successful and competitive enough?

DOnt feel like favoring any candidate. MCCain is a warmonger, Hillary thinks it is her RIGHT to own the WH and OB is being shafted by one of his own – MINORITIES!

Florida and mich are lost to obama.I dont think he relizes that in the general elec its not proportional.

They must not of been listening to CNN and Obama's people that keep telling every one she is done!
GO Hillary !!!

Hmmm....once again Mrs. Clinton proves that she is the choice of the people. Obama isn't, he is the choice of the media. Hopefully, the super delegates are smart enough to pay attention.

Hispanics voting for a Black candidate? YEAH RIGHT. I don't care how popular Bill Clinton is, fact of the matter is, states with large Hispanic populations are not going to vote for a Black candidate. And don't make me spell out why!

I'm waiting for the exit poll question "was race an important factor in your decision".

Congratulations Hillary – It is so sad that the media didn't expose
Rev. Wright before Super Tuesday – Had they done so, you would have already had the nomination.

All clever Dems must think of Plan B if the DNC continues to rob Hillary of nomination.

Do we write her name in or vote for McCain?

Let the Hillary Demos unite under one plan to defeat O-Loser.

Oh yea we should really pay attention to PR cause thats an important turn for this election. NOT!!!!!!!

CNN, Why are 8 headlines needed for Puerto Rico?

She is winning PR because the are sentimental for her husband.

Jason, Obama will be the nominee, get used to it.

Obama can't win FL, MI, OH, PA, or WV. Game, Set, and Match for McCain!!!

Did you guys TRY to find the worst picture possible? I could get a better shot than that with one take from a cell phone! Or is this part of your decidedly pro-Obama mock-journalism?

your conscience who?

Gooooo Hillary!

Hillary is a liar, fraud, and has lower morals than Carl Rove. Since she didn't blow Oboma on Super Tuesday. it's gotten worse. Pre Super Tuesday, she said the primaries in MI and FL SHOULD NOT count. About 40% of the voters in MI DID NOT vote for her. No problem. Ignore previous promises and the FACTS and claim that she is "entitled" to all the votes. She has sunk to a level I have never seen before and is a disgrace to the Democratic Party, and the entire United States.

Bill Clinton is known, not Hillary, I am glad CNN brought this to light. As a frequent visitor to Puerto Rico, their media bias speaks volumes of praise towards Clinton....can you say bought and paid for......?

Obama will be voted the nominee at the latest june 4th..
IT IS OVER..

sheeshh....

and for all the WRITE IN older white women HILLBOTS... alot of states do not even allow that LIKE TEXAS

Puerto Rico is irrelevant. Period..

CONGRATULATIONS TO HILLARY, now EXIT to the left, Please!!!

Democrat “08”

Tuesday cannot get here too soon and then it will all be over, thank goodness!

How about the "Barak Obama stopped doing any real Primary Campaigning After Last Week" as an arguement. Yes he went to PR but not with any real intent. The same in Kentucky and West Virginia.

He stopped recognizing that there is a Primary left undecided and you know what? He's right. It is done and has been done.

I can't wait to hear her say these votes matter because.....they don't. PR cannot vote in the Fall and has no Delegates. It means nothing. Period.

Lets see some of that Unity she's been talking about, eh?

Jason – as yet, despite his supporters' claims, Mr Obama is not the Nominee. That can only be decided at the Convention and there may well be superdelegates who move to or move back to Mrs Clinton. Your implication is correct and, contrary to some posts, the game is not over yet!

Puerto Rico doesn't even get to vote in the general election so she can win all their votes because it does not matter in the end. Obama is expected to win in South Dakota and Montana states that actually matter in the General Election. She only wins the popular vote if she doesn't count cancus states why isn't the media reporting this? I thought all votes counted Hillary. Oh right I forgot only your votes count. Also if she counts Puerto Rico in the popular vote which is ridiculous because they can't even vote in November. But other states that actually count in November are not counted what kind of flaw method is this?

So....they voted for Bill.

We as Democrats need to rethink who is being Chosen as our nominee and who is winning the actual votes from individual voters..solution:.To get the.Experience,knowledge,black/white.young/old/rich/poor/men women/north/south/east/west..votes of America the winning ticket should be Hillary Clinton/Harold Ford Jr.......THE REAL DREAM TICKET Hillary08

This election represents the transition into a new era!

Too little too late. Another beauty contest won.
The priest was right. Boo... hoo.... boo, hoo.......
Though it was disrespectful to to Hillary irt was in fact the truth and darn funny.

The family took up temp residency like they did in WVa, Ohio and Ky.

Congratulations! Hillary should stay in Puerto Rico, declare independence and be their president, so America can get rid of her.

I say if PR can't vote for the president why do they get to vote at all. It is a double standard.They can't even have delegates in August's big show. Just Cheateries way of saying ,THEY LOVE ME MORE ,Elect me so Billy can fill ( I mean chill) with Monica again .

Obama will lose 48 States in Nov if the Superdelegates don't nominate HIllary Clinton.

Rumor on the Internets: Michelle Obama Railed Against "Whitey"
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 2:14 PM
Rumor has it that there is video of Michelle Obama "railing against 'whitey' at Jeremiah Wright's church."

If this is true, it could be lethal. It's one thing to distance yourself from your pastor, but quite another thing to distance yourself from your spouse.

Might Rev. Wright be the one leaking the video?

Update: I talked to Larry Johnson, the blogger who has this story. I don't personally know Johnson, but his bio seems pretty credible. He was once considered a "darling of the Left," but has become somewhat of a "bad guy" since turning against Obama.

He speculates the goal is to hold onto the video till August.

HILLARY YOU ARE AWESOME! YOU HAVE MY VOTE IN NOVEMBER!

If Hillary does not get the nomination for President I am not voting.

because puerto ricans are stupid thats why

Angry Clinton supporters tell party leaders: 'Let's go McCain!'
Is this not a failure?!

Why would any person, in their right mind, suddenly be PRO WAR and ANTI HEALTHCARE?

4 years of more Bush is NOT the right thing for the Democratic Party.
Should we not stand for our believes, against the Republicans, regardless of the outcome in this nomination?

If Puerto Rico can't vote in the general election, why should we care how they voted in the primaries???

Obama is clearly the weaker candidate for the general. It is unprecedented for a trailing candidate to win closing primaries by this margin. It has never happened before. Good luck Barack, you'll need it.

Jason, the answer is simple. It's because Clinton has been known for a long time and Obama is the new Kid on the block. Did you ever expect at the beginning of this process that Obama would be the nominee? Things have changed.

Obama '08

As an "Older Woman Hillary Clinton Supporter"; if Hillary is not the Democratic nominee in November, I will be writing in Hillary Clinton on my ballot in the General Election. I encourage all others to do the same instead of not voting at all or voting for McCain or Obama. Let us send a clear message that we will not let sexism in America over shadow the best candidate to be President of these United States.

Noooooooooo!!!! My White Sox just gave up a walk off!!! I can't believe it!!! Bad timing too man!!!

By the way guys, tell Hillary that I remember when she had that Cubs hat and went to the game.......tell her I won't forget it.......

Why would you count these votes as part of her argument that she is the stronger candidate for the general election? These people won't be able to vote in the general election. I am still a little confused as to why they should vote at all in a primary and have a say in who will be nominated if they can't vote in the general election anyway.

Jason
Maybe because the DNC wanted the nominee decided by the time pro
Hillary states voted in the primaries. Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Puerto Rico and possibly South Dakota are states Hillary was expected
to win. That's just my take on it. Certainly not because she is now a
stronger candidate and as Reality Check states she's running against
herself. At this point who cares?

When Obama can't win something, he and his supporters try to pretend it's not happening. Michigan, Florida, West Virginia, Puerto Rico. There are two people who could be elected the next President–Hillary Clinton or John McCain. Obama can spoil the Democratic Party's chances by being nominated, but he can't win.

————Hillary Clinton=G. Bush=mCain=Liars————

–Shame on those who cast their votes for those who caused this war.

–Hillary did NOT bother to read the papers, and authorized iraq war.

–How can anyone TrUsT her in our W.H????!!!! How can you???!!!!

Jason, they're splitting about the last 8-10 contests and if she' s so good, why did she lose 11 in a row?

Obama will be the nominee, lets go beat McCain!!

Fact check time kids(obama supporters)economy not in reccesion,Iraq war all but won and obama is the liberal equivalant to the grand dragon of the kkk.oh yeah and thanks to jimmy anti-semite carter we now have no choice but strike iran.Sorry kids just doin the medias job.

The super delegates better wake up, Senator Clinton has the popular vote. If the DNC supports the popular-vote loser this will ensure a losing outcome in November.

America will not support poor judgment plus no experience! Senator Obama’s race will be a repeat of the 1972 election.

Clinton campaigned hard in Puerto Rico, spending several hours Saturday on the back of a pickup truck in a salsa-blasting,

LOL LOL LOL LOL

Puerto Rico doesn't even get to vote in the election in November. It is pathetic for Clinton to act so childisly when gets a win, and in this case they don't even get to vote.

The Superdelagates need to endorse Obama and get Clinton out. Her campaign is a joke.

hey dud, Clinton is lier, has a lots of gar bage baggage. thats hay republicans love her and kept vote for her. because she is a good snack for Mccoony.

I'll try again.

If Clinton claims the largest popular vote without including Guam, the Virgin Island, caucus states, and Americans who voted from other countries (including servicemen and servicewomen in Iraq), then SHE IS THE ELITIST.

People in caucus states vote in public and people in primary states vote in private. They all vote.

Jason,

The reason Hillary is winning PR primary is that Obama doesn't care about PR primary. It will not be part of his presidential run and PR will contribute nothing to this November election. If Hillary is smart, she would bow out gracefully. But , she does not know when the game is over even though she is down by 50 points in the last 2 minutes of the game. She is running strong trying to collect some money to pay off her debt. But the idea of her being the candidate after being down by 180 delegates is stupid. Obama is the nominee and will be our President and when he is PR wished they had voted for Obama instead of Clinton. But making her feel good as her last days are numbered it's not so bad. She'll have something to remember when she's out of the race. She'll always say " I was the strongest candidate but did not throw a knock out punch to Obama. Obama has been jabbing her round after round and in the end he won more points that she did. So in her whole life she'll believe she was the strongest candidate but Obama was the smarter one. He never let her get close and throw a knock out punch.

So, ask yourself do you really want a candidate who is strong but does not know how win or a candidate who was not as strong but outsmarted her. I'd go for the later. We don't need someone who brags about how strong they are, we need a candidate that knows how to use their strenghts and that's not Clinton.

Go President Obama, 08 & 12

Clinton has won all of the blue states that are needed to win in November. Obama is such a farse. He is now on CNN blabbing about change, but he hasn' said yet, 15 months into the campaign, what he is going to change. What a waste. . I am a Clinton Democrat who could care less about the Democratic party and their evil, cheating ways. The DNC leadership along with the MSM will have nominated the Democratic candidate. Why bother voting, citizens of Florida and Michigan – the DNC basically and spoken and they said YOU DON'T COUNT!

(Chanting) Let's go, Tuesday, let's go! (Clap, clap!) Let's go, Tuesday, let's go! (Clap, clap!) So that we can focus on the general election, and let the REAL debates begin between McCain and the Democratic nominee (whoever it is, but it's looking as if Obama may be the nominee).

Bo can't win the hispanic vote, the bluecollar vote, or the clinton vote. BO is a loser.
Who is this guy???

IF HILLARY IS SUCH A WINNER WHY IS HER CAMPAIGN 25 MILLION IN DEBT AFTER RAISING 200 MILLION,.AND SHE LOANED HERSELF 11 MILLION,AND HER REAL REASON FOR STAYING IN THE RACE IS BECAUSE SHE HOPING OBAMA SUPPORTERS WILL PAY OFF HER BILLS BECAUSE HER SUPPORTERS HAVE NOT

Democratic party, your desicion on 31st of May 2008 destroyed fairness of election and destroy DEMOCRASY. DNC, you are no longer represent DEMOCRASY in America. YOUand your bias choice Obama ARE CROOKS. Did you see, DNC, reportage from CNN on 31st of May 20908 about
Obama's first win in Chicago politics? His opponents didn't get a chance to be in a ballot, because Obama eliminate them before voting. He uses his education as a lawyer to get what he wants to fool everybody. He is maphia from Chicago with David Axelrod and others from his campaign. He pretended to follow rules, but he is a master to twist everything around and to make it legal. He is so dangerous person. His friends from Chicago are criminals and terrorists.
DNC you are criminals too. I can not imagine how all of you knowing everything about this criminal Obama, liar Obama still support him and want him to be a President.
DNC you deserve to be destroyed. Democratis Partiy should not exist anymore.
And don't blame Hillary or her supporters that they destroy your crook Party. You destroy it yourself on 31st of May, 2008.
I'm sure he will lose on GE. Thanks God, we have another Party. They will not allow this happen.
Keep him to yourself, you deserve each other. CROOKS!!!
Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Edwards, Richardson, big mouth Dona Brazile and all other idiots who support enemy of America will be prosecuted and jailed. WE HATE YOU ALL !

Hillary changes her opinion when it it's favors her. She didn't say a word about Florida or Michigan until she need them. Every state she lost up 'til recently really didn't matter because they weren't IMPORTANT enough for her, now everything and everyone is important to her. She 's doing her best to ruin what's left of this party. If she's gets the nomination I can tell you I'll work for McCain

Congrats to Hillary Clinton on her win. She is a great senator representing PR but am afraid this win is little too late. Her campaign was flawed from the beginning just like Guliani. two people who ran a " am the inevitable nominee" campaign. infact before IOWA. mark penn spent all of hillary's campaign money holding partys and celebrating hillarys win even before the first vote. Clinton said herself that she will lock up the nomination on Feb 5th. she said that herself. My dear clinton supporters its not Obama's fault that clinton didnt have a post feb 5th strategy , its not Obama's fault that her campagn strategists were self-serving lobbysts who only cared about their consultancy fees. I beg allof you to rally around Obama and prevent McBush from further debilitating the american economy and fanning anti-american sentiments around world. Mccain is just out of control and senile. if you observe the way he talks you will see America is in dep trouble if he becomes president. he is unwilling to listen to analyse things he says or projects. He is always angry and bullish and that is very dangerous. I think Bush policies will pale at what McCain will do.

yum yum yum said the hungry republican.Its official the dem party has been hijacked by the liberal fascists.

good for her...I'm sure that Sen. Clinton is very proud that she won
Puerto Rico on her husband's merits. The rest of us, who voted for
Sen. Obama because of HIS merits, are ready to move on now...

and 93% said the candidate's visits to Puerto Rico were important, with 71% among them supporting Clinton! The fact that the number is there does not mean it was THE main reason. This is clearly a year of creative mathematics.

What next for Hillary if she does not win the nomination? 1) Asking all American women protest behind her for sex discrimination; next, if it still doesn't work, 2) Math calculation needs to be changed for this whole world, addition becomes subtraction and positive sign becomes negative sign.

Jason, Clinton is "winning" the primaries at the end because West Virginia and Kentucky are in general very racist states. not everyone, but Senator Byrd of WV got ahead by joining the KKK when he was younger, so go figure that the state went to the white candidate, and Puerto Rico is going for Clinton because they know her better. Clinton is a known name, but it only counts now, it is not a state yet. When it becomes a state then it matters the same as states, but until then this is a futile victory.

Another 35point loss. BO can't win in Nov. Hillary locked up the popular vote today no matter what happens in SD & MT

Jason,because Obama did not campain in PR,he took one day.
I do think that he is wrong for not campaining in this country.
Reminds me of the turtle and the rabbit.
If he loses it will because he quit campaining, he should know better, it is not over until it is over, As cheatery clinton.

I HOPE HILARY CLINTON RUNS AS AN INDEPENDANT..I THINK VERY STRONGLY SHE COULD WIN OVER MCCAIN AND OBAMA.....THEN LETS SEE WHAT THE PUNDANTS AND THE NAY SAYERS HAVE TO SAY.............GO FOR IT HILARY............

ask the right question and you will get the right answer?

Hillary's win in Puerto Rico is meaningless.

However, this win will probably give her a bit more fuel to finally burn up the DEMOCRATIC PARTY for good.

Of all of the photo's taken of hillary in that truck, you at cnn choose a photo of her privates somewhat exposed.
Just more evidence of the sexist attitude toward her. Disgusting

"Frank June 1st, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Who cares – meaningless.
Apparently Hillary Clonton wants the legacy of spoiling a November Democratic win by Obama."

Frank,

If Obama is really THAT good, no one can spoil anything from him. He winning the nomination, isn't he? I am sure the Obama supporters know that artificially putting up a candidate of their choice will not win the Nov. GE. So you guys start blaming Hillary Clinton in preparation for dealing with Obama's loss?

I am an independent, and I am doubtful Obama will win knowing he has nothing to win. What really means nothing is Obama's rhetoric.

Jason, I will tell you why Hillary is still winning primaries at the end of the race. One reason is the high woman (white that is) turnout for her with her allegations of sexism, and secondly is simply popular ex-Democratic President Bill Clinton.

No one is pointing to specific traits that Hillary has to be President other this argument of Hillary's toughness (as a fighter) and Bill Clinton. Hillary is not a stand-alone woman candidate that got where she is by her own accords. A man, specifically the legacy of Bill Clinton, is what Hillary is riding own. Nothing more and nothing less.

CNN HAS NOT INCLUDED MY LAST 2 COMMENTS. IS IT BECAUSE YOU FAVOR CLINTON?

DO NOT QUIT HILLARY. I will not vote for Obama. I will hold my nose and vote for McSame......

She is a strong candidate who is for ALL the people.

Hillary, keep going.

We need you for our president.

Only way he can win is if he rigs the votes.Only the media supports him

No offense to Hillary but I don't expect a huge turnaround if she wants try and get the popular vote. They might be Americans but they do have their own land......

People, People, People!

Is it not obvious why Barack is not doing as well in these last primaries?

HE DOESN'T NEED TO!

He has turned his attention on the general election and is visiting SWING states. Hillary has been in Puerto Rico EVERY DAY. Barack has been dividing his attention on the rest of the country.

Hillary lost the nomination, but won a pointless primary... Puerto Rico doesn't even get a vote in the general election... so congrats! Now she will tell us how Puerto Rico is always the place that decides the president... I mean... No president has ever been elected into office without winning Puerto Rico!

Ha.Ha.Ha. Hillaryous.

YEARS AGO IT WAS ALWAYS A CONVENTION FIGHT- WHY NOT NOW?
WHEN DID THEY START DECIDING THE PARTY CANIDATE BEFORE THE CONVENTION?

Puerto Rico, another state democrats need to carry in November. Wait, they won't vote.

"Chut Pata June 1st, 2008 3:28 pm ET

By her own yardstick, Puerto Rico should not count because the win does not make anyone electable, as Puerto Rico does not vote in General Elections.

However she likes rules that favor her and wants to change that do not favor her. So she would want to count Puerto Rico win in, and would not want to count caucuses in."

Chut Pata,

Do you have families who don't live in your state? If yes, you can bet that people who live in PR also have relatives live outside PR as well. I hope you can deduce where I am going with your statement.

The boy is unelectable.

Great Hillary! On to Montana and South Dakota! You are the best for us all!

Funny how Obama just keeps losing all of the primaries one after the other and the press, the DNC, and his supporters keep telling us that he has received the nomination and we should stop the whole thing. They've been saying stop since February but Hillary wins more and more every time. Could they be wrong?

LOL You Hillabots crowing about a trouncing must not know PR s History NOR the fact that winning in PR is about as meaningless as any win can be. Winning the Largest WELFARE STATE in the ( well territory) World that has ZERO input in a general election is about as weak as you can get.

BUT The Hillabots will CROW as usual as if it is the defining moment of the election and she is WINNING LOL.

I have $1000.00 that says she tries to claim these votes as POPULAR Votes even though she TOTALLY DIMISSED U.S> Ctizens Votes cast in the Caucas'.... Any Takers????

THANK GOD PR CAN'T VOTE IN THE GE,LET HILLARY HAVE HER MOMENT IT IS HER LAST. POP VOTE IS NOT THE METERIC WE DETERMINE OUR NOMINEE,HOPEFULLY OBAMA WILL WIN THE LAST TWO THANK GOD FOR THAT. AND ENOUGH SD WILL VOTE AND HE BECOMES OUR NOMINEE AND WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE GE TO FIGHT MCSAME. IF HILLARY HAD ANY INTEGRITY SHE WOULD GET OUT OF THE RACE NOW AT LEAST GO OUT WITH A VICTORY THEN HELP UNITE OUR PARTY( I GUESS THAT IS PROBABLY ASKING TOO MUCH)

If I was a superdelegate, this Puerto Rico win would mean absolutely nothing to me. So What...She won.. They can't even vote in the general election! This is not anything negative towards them, but the reality of it is.. You should have just went to Church and back home. You waisted your time.

The majority of Democrats want Hillary.

Same reason she got so many votes in the primaries.

She would have more If pelosi and dean had not publicaly insisted on the primaries ending early months before all voters had a chance to vote.

the pressure the super delegates to publicly endorse. They influence the voters,

They should be sanctioned by the DNC for medling in an election process.

The rules say a Elect will be chose at the convention.

Wright – Puerto Ricans are guilty of believing in the hype for Hillary, clearly, they did not think for themselves.

bk – What trouncing? This was a tailor for Hillary Clinton, much like Virginia was for Obama. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't prove anything.

Hillary 08 – You go do that, and destroy this country too.

Irrelevant. If a primary does not matter, as Clinton puts it, this is it. These people don't vote in November. So, who cares? And she adds their popular votes too? LOL. What a farce.

looks the Puerto Ricans are as uneducated as ever........who cares!

LOL You Hillabots crowing about a trouncing must not know PR s History NOR the fact that winning in PR is about as meaningless as any win can be. Winning the Largest WELFARE STATE in the ( well territory) World that has ZERO input in a general election is about as weak as you can get.

BUT The Hillabots will CROW as usual as if it is the defining moment of the election and she is WINNING LOL.

I have $1000.00 that says she tries to claim these votes as POPULAR Votes even though she TOTALLY DIMISSED U.S> Ctizens Votes cast in the Caucas'.... Any Takers????

Okay...congratulations Hillary. You won a U.S. territory in which over 65% of population speaks Spanish as there first language (and most as their only language), nearly 75% of the population makes $30,000 or less, nearly 65% of those that voted said Bill Clinton is the reason to vote for Hillary and nearly 95% of a population who refer to themselves as Puerto Ricans and not Americans!

Puerto Ricans can't vote in the general election, so the only result Hillary is hoping for is a large turnout for her popular vote argument.

Why did noone ask Ted Kennedy in 1980( who was trailing by 700 delegates!) to drop out of the race before the Convention? or for that matter Lyndon Johnson in 1964? Hmmmm...you know why...Hillary is winning primaries, and has every right to continue, this is a Democracy..remember? This should go to the Convention, considering how close it is, that is the only "Democratic" way this can be resolved.Obama is not yet our Dictator. How can someone who is still winning be asked to quit? Who are you people? Who do you think you are? She doesnt have to drop out, and guess what, you cant make her., though I'm sure you wish you could. Please people just admit it, you know if this were Ted Kennedy or any other man, they wouldnt be asked to drop out if they were this close.

I would like to thank both Obama and Hillary for allowing us Puerto Ricans the privilege of participating in this contest. Even if the territory is not allowed the right to vote for the President in the general elections, this is a particularly significant step in achieving equality within the US democratic system.

LET PUERTO RICO BECOME A STATE OR A FREE NATION – THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO IS HOME TO 4 MILLION HOSTAGES OF THE US CONGRESS. CONGRESS NEEDS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND ACCELERATE THE PROCESS FOR FREE-DETERMINATION IN PUERTO RICO.

I remember when everyone was saying this was Barack's win about 6 weeks ago, what happened, oh yea he can't have everything just because people in power want him to have it. No way he can accomplish what we need done in the WH. Really he should be her VP, that just makes the most sense.
Clinton first, then McCain, I won't vote for someone with no experience like Obamawho I'm not sure would not give our country away to terrorists.

Why is CNN not covering the super delegate announcements? It seems like picking up a few super delegates is a bit important; certainly news worthy.

Shame on Clinton News Network.

Hillary has won the most popular votes and is the best candidate to lead our country foward. The reason why Hillary continues to win races even though the media has all but given Obama the election is because America knows that Hillary has experience, knowledge and ability, three things that Obama lacks.

As this election goes on, the true Obama is emerging. Had Americans known more about him earlier, Hillary would have been the nominee long ago.

It is time for the "Super" delegates to grow a spine and place their support around the candidate that most Americans have voted for.

Congrats and thats good for consollation!!!!hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaha

Hillary will not run as an independent. It is too late. Even Ralph Nader who came in as independent in February was only able to get ballots in less than half of the states. Hillary at this point, will not even get 10 states to add her name. So long Hillary. Admit it, you lost.

Now, get behind Obama and support him as President.

Hillary is winning this one by campaigning day and night by three
familymembers and they went for the third Bill period.
http:klintons.com Go see this !
I still cann't figure it out her experience : only evident. in telling lies, cheat and twisting around in front of the whole world. Not a good example for a president of the USA, do you think?

Ok, no more crying from the Hill-bots.She at least got to leave on a high note. It was apparent from the demeanor of a lot of those party leaders that they were sick of Clintons selfish inability to concede for party unity.

Thank god this is almost over so we can finally sit back and watch the big O tear McGramps a new one.

If the Clintons wanted to make Puerto Rico independent, how come he did not do this as president? He had 8 years!

chi4Obama,

Can we use "obama-ite" term, that Hillary Clinton ran a better campaign in PR?

Your chitown neighbor

ARE YOU LISTENING, SUPERDELEGATES?

"It was a clean sweep for Hillary Clinton in Puerto Rico in every demographic group, even those groups that are usually firmly in Barack Obama's camp."

ARE YOU LISTENING, SUPERDELEGATES?

CNN, please publish the earlier comment I made. Don't make mockery of democracy.

Oh no. Not a Clinton third term. I would hate to have another 8 years of economic boom.

It is no wonder or surprise Hilary wins Puerto Rico.
She has made empty promises to grant the Puertos a new Status.
Hurrah!!!!!! Hilary you are not even anywhere near to getting that nomination, guess what the Michigan and Florida hopes are gone.
so what is left is to bow out, we know that Bill Clinton promised to fight for you come what may to the last breath, but that won´t change an IOTA.

We wish to say bye to you on Tuesday buddy... .....
Give Obama the time to prepare for Mccain fight. We have seen enough of meaningsless DEMS infighting.

BYE BYE Hillary .... BYE BYE

On her husband's back, that's how she came to the race and that is why she is still in it. ZERO merits!! Only because she is a Clinton. Cannot wait for her to go away!! She divided the party and is trying to steal the election and if there is even a hint of "The Clintons" in Obama administration, this country will be cursed!!
