OMG
There are 8 stories about PR on the ticker! Who cares? It is over for Clinton.
Obama 08

What happened to the gas tax holiday?

I don't blame Puerto Ricans, for not turning out. What advantage is in it for them? They can't vote in the general election. NOW WHAT?

Used as pawns for Billary? Maybe they should change their Governor!

You must be kidding! Make this horrid place a state?! Why? We don't need millions more people on the welfare roles. Pleeaaaase, keep it like it is, or better yet, sell it! Any bidders out there?

full fabric of American democracy.

A great victory for USA and a great win for Hillary

There is no doubt in my mind that Hillary should be the candidate this fall,

Obomus is a loser., Hillary is a winner.

Let's go with a winner

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?

Do we have a say in this decision as tax payers or does Hillary plan to govern this country with the George Bush philosophy, "I'll do whatever I want to-I'm the President!" Incredible she would make a promise like this and the media didn't really call her on it. Very interesting.

I think they are fine how they are we haven't heard anything from them before. Ever since Clinton went there she's making false promises to gather up votes even though she wont be the nominee. Whatever is convienent for Clinton she will say.

They will remain a commonwealth. HillBill makes empty promises to to every single issue known to mankind to pursue her own agenda. GIVE ME A BREAK! She's nothing more than another George Bush in a female pantsuit.

Puerto Rico deserves to be a state. As a conservative Republican I understand it may very well add 2 US Senators who will be Democrats but regardless of ANY political asides such as that they deserve statehood. It is the right thing to do if the people of PR want it.

Making it a state is even better for them because it is almost as the same. How can you vote in the primary election but you can't vote in the general election.

PLEASE TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CITIZENS RIGHT AND COMMONWEALTH RIGHTS.
DO THEY GET WELFARE, SOCIA L SECURITY MEDICARE, FOOD STAMPS, SECTION 8 OR ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO KNOW.

Puerto Rico has wonderful people. The main land USA should be so lucky. Hillary ……………………..08……………………………………………

Hi ! This poll need to take in consideration the people who stay home because will be improper for them to influence in the politics of other nation. That 72% for statehood in Hilaries voters respond to a PNP (pro statehood party) and some PPD (commonwelth party). In the 57% most of the Obamas supporters are PPD and some other are PNP. Within the Commonwealth party exist a more liberal sector that will be staying home because that will a "anexation action".

Let them be an independant country, ruled by Queen Hillary.

By the way where was Hillary when Bill was the president for 8 years and why PR was not given statehood then?????

This issue is of no importance. The voters of Puerto Rico will not even vote in November. This has been an issue for over fifty years and i doubt it will be decided anytime soon.

Puerto Rico is insignificant to Obama, since it has less votes and delegates.

He only made a prescence to insure Hillary did not get all votes.

Democrats lose ground, Independents gain and sensible people will vote for McCain if Obama is the Dem nominee!

The Democrats will unite for McCain!

Obama is a fatally flawed arrogant/user candidate and McCain is much closer to the heart of America in contrast to the sloppy love fest of the postmodern in the moment diatribes!

if they dont want to be a state, then why are they being allowed to participate in the politics of the UNITED STATES

I used to have a great deal of respect for Wolfe but I think due to the long primaries, lack of sleep or may be allegiance to the Clintons Wolfe is so delusional. There he is going against his best political team as he calls his panelists and encouraging Hillary's claim for superdelegates to overturn BO pledged delegates and recognize her popular votes for the nominee.

Takeit from me Wolfe you need to retire in the public's interest

I am a proud Hillary supporter who WILL VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN if OBAMA gets the nomination. LIKE MILLIONS and MIllions MORE . NOBAMA WHITE HOUSE >

I will not vote for Obama….The Democratic National Committee did Hillary an injustice yesterday….I hope she takes this all the way to the convention floor!!!!!

It proves Clintons are divisive. Clinton promised to give PR a statehood within her first term but I didn't hear people asking for it recently.

Where ever they go, they divide

They divided people on race and sex, then bluecollar and white collar..

If Clinton gets the nomination which I doubt and if she wins again I doubt, at the end of her term, dems won't get back to GOP for next many yeras. That's what happened after Bill Clinton's so called legacy.

Obama = wine & cheese; Clinton = cervesa & carnitas.
And there's a lot more beer drinkers than wine drinkers in this country.

If she is so interested in states that matter why does care about pr?

These people should look in the mirror and undersatnd why Hillory is not going to win. Same old, same old…..

HRC will say ANYTHING to obtain the nomination..

When will her supporters realize this?????

What a mess………

PUERTO RICANS DONT HAVE A SAY UNTIL THEY CAN VOTE IN A GENERAL ELECTION, WHO BASICALLY DONT CARE WHAT THEY THINK AT THIS POINT, THE HOLE LAND CAN VOTE FOR HILLARY, THAT WONT MAKE A DIFFERENT

Those intellectual Obama supporters again. Stay a commonwealth and forego any statehood advantages, including the right to vote in a General Election.

COME ON TUESDAY - SOUTH DAKOTA AND MONTANA

OBAMA / SEBELIUS -08!

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

– Plato, Greek philosopher (424 BC - 348 BC)

with all due respect puerto rico does not even have a vote in the general election!!
I have every faith once there is a nominee dems will unite and if its Obama, Hillary should bridge that divide so Bush 3 does not get in again!! I dont think any sane american wants to wallow in that misery again

I have often wondered why Hawai'i became a state and Puerto Rico did not. They seem to overwhelming enjoy being of the US but then not of the US. Interesting.

This seems weird… I wonder why it is the case

How could you not want to be a state.pure ignorance.America is the only reason they are not a banana republ;ic like the rest of latin america and the carribean

That's pretty interesting - the discrepancies between the two campaign supporters. I wonder what the BENEFITS would be for Puerto Rican's to become a state as opposed to remaining a commonwealth?

I would LOVE it if you folks would address this issue when you resume coverage at 2 pm.

A big thumbs up to Fareed Zakaria's new show!! VERY interesting!

clinton is pandering for votes by promising statehood,that many puerto ricans don't want .why would they want a larger role in a clinton banana republic?she's gonna be old news ,in a week ,anyway.good riddance!

they don't have to be a state
if they need our money they will get it. we are noted for helping ever country and nation and let our people struggle. i believe in helping ever one, but charity starts at home
DON'T YOU THINK

THERE IS PEOPLE RIGHT HERE IN ARKANSAS STARVING AND LIVING IN THE STREET. BUT WE DON'T CARE WE GOT TO SAVE THE WORLD OUTSIDE OUR COUNTRY

From CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider get a life cnn get ove it it is done and your clintons has lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary has all of this experience, is Puerto Rico a state yet?

dependency= clinton
colony= clinton
dynasty= clinton

The US abolishes century old clinton dynasty

They should never be a state.
