lucky to live in america

hillary clinton has won puerto rico. and as goes san juan, so goes the carribean.

with 0% of the precincts reporting and 0% of the vote counted, nbc is projecting hillary clinton the winner of the puerto rico primary by a wide margin:

sen. hillary rodham clinton won puerto rico’s democratic presidential primary by a substantial margin sunday, nbc news projected. but clinton’s newly defiant campaign against her own party leaders may have been blunted by low turnout in the island territory.

puerto rico, once a political asterisk in presidential contests, was seen as clinton’s last best electoral chance as she tries to build a case that she has won more actual votes during the primary season than her rival, sen. barack obama. she, former president bill clinton and their daughter, chelsea, spent a combined 15 days in the commonwealth hoping to keep her relevant in the contest.
obama is ahead in delegate count, so every little bit helps sen. clinton.

tho clinton has taken a new tact, claiming to lead in the popular vote in all democratic primaries. this is important because the popular vote is how a presidential election is decided.

oh, wait...
