The politics comes into it too I imagine. Puerto Rico would probably be strongly Democratic at the presidential level and more than likely elect two Democratic Senators. *could be wrong though

This.  Just like in the old days, the likely only way a new state will be admitted is if another one of the opposite political inclination would be admitted with it.  And there's the problem; there's really nowhere out there that would be a safe bet for the GOP.
