Is it known what the electoral vote designations will be in 2008, and, if not, what are the estimations if there are any and what will they be based on?
Don't you mean 2012?

Not really, Puerto Rican politics have been largely entangled in the statehood issue, withteh two main parties, with the PNP (pro-statehood) and the PPD (pro-commonwealth) parties being about equal in strength (a slight edge to the PPD).  There are token branches of the Democrats and the Republicans there but they have no influence in Puerto Rican politics, even less than the PIP (pro-independence).  The PNP would probably align with the Republicans and the PDP with the Democrats if statehood came, but how the voters would react post-statehood is anyone's guess.  By their population they would be entitle to 6 CD's but new States have traditionally been given only one, so it's very hard to say how many Puerto Rico would have until the next apportionment.

CA had 4 EV in its first Presidential election.
