Santorum seems likes he has an excellent chance of finishing third with his recent gaffes.

Behind who?

According to Fox, a lot of people are voting for Romney as a proxy for supporting statehood.

How so?

They reported that a lot of people think the only way Puerto Rico becomes a state is if Fortuno wins reelection and Romney wins the Presidency.

Why would only Romney allow PR to become a state?

Not sure, but I think Romney's the only one who has come out in favor of statehood so far. Fortuno's machine is also pretty strong in PR.

Romney seems to be stronger on the west side of the island than the east.

Looks like 3 precincts of 5. The largest may have already reported though.

If Santorum didn't even have delegates on the ballot, wtf was he doing spending several days campaigning there?

Probably just wanted a vacation.

52% in, still 83% Romney. 



He might do better here than in Utah.  lol

Romney probably breaks 90% in Utah at this point.

In fact:

2000: Bush wins with 94%
2008: McCain wins with 90%

If any of us had bothered to look back at the historic results a blowout for the establishment frontrunner should've been obvious.

To the best of my knowledge, there have only been two genuinely competetive presidential primaries/caucuses in the history of Puerto Rico--three if you include 2008 for the Dems, which wasn't that close. The two competetive contests were in 1980 between Carter and Kennedy and in 1988 when Jackson won with >30%. Everything else has been a massive blowout.

2008 Dem: Clinton 68.42%, Obama 31.58%
2008 Rep: McCain 90.38%, Huckabee 4.81%, Paul 4.33%
2000 Rep: Bush 94.21%, McCain 5.29%
1996 Rep: Dole 97.99%
1992 Dem: Clinton 95.86%, Kerrey 1.43%, Brown 1.42%
1988 Dem: Jackson 31.98%, Dukakis 25.78%, Simon 21.01%, Gore 16.53%, Gephardt 3.34%
1984 Dem: Mondale 99.46%, Hart 0.54%
1980 Dem: Carter 51.67%, Kennedy 48.04%
