Puerto Rico Democratic primary results discussion thread

[Torie]

At-large is 17 I think actually.

19, including the mysterious order of the "PLEO." I suspect that is a branch of the illuminati.

[WalterMitty]

let me guess...puerto ricans are 'racist'...just like everyone else who doesnt vote for obama.

[Lief 🗽]

No one in this thread has said anything like that all, Walter. Stop playing the victim.

[Flying Dog]

let me guess...puerto ricans are 'racist'...just like everyone else who doesnt vote for obama.

Umm, nobody even said anything close to that. Your ridiculous.

[8 out of 11 is not deserved]

I will maintain the popular vote and he will have a slight delegate lead.

BULLsh**t...without Michigan, he wins the popular vote.

F... the divisive Bitch.

[Angel of Death]

Haha, she's barely going to get a net 100k from PR.

this is getting old, you know?

[8 out of 11 is not deserved]

She is a bald face liar with the popular vote.

She got beat in that department also unless you add in the contest where people couldn't choose Obama

[Alcon]

76% reporting

Clinton breaks the 100,000 margin

Clinton 189,934 (68%)
Obama 88,863 (32%)

[Torie]

Haha, she's barely going to get a net 100k from PR.

131,000 margin if things hold steady and one extrapolates.

[Meeker]

So if the current numbers hold...

At-large: 13-6 Clinton
District 1, San Juan: 4-2 Clinton
District 2, Bayamón: 3-2 Clinton 
District 3, Arecibo: 3-1 Clinton
District 4, Mayagüez: 3-1 Clinton
District 5, Ponce: 3-1 Clinton
District 6, Guayama: 3-1 Clinton
District 7, Humacao: 3-1 Clinton
District 8, Carolina: 3-2 Clinton

Total: 38-17 Clinton

Ouch

[MarkWarner08]

So Hillary won in PR because she's married to the still-popular (in PR) Bill Clinton, from New York (the second home of many Puerto Ricans or their relatives), and chose the winning side on a parochial matter (the statehood debate)? What's so unexpected about this outcome?

[Ogre Mage]

F... the divisive Bitch.

This is getting old as well.  Good luck getting the half of Dems who voted for Hillary to support Obama in the fall with that attitude.

[Alcon]

85% reporting

Clinton 219,536 (68%)
Obama 102,304 (32%)

District 8, Carolina: 3-2 Clinton

Total: 38-17 Clinton

Ouch

Unless I'm wrong, she's very close to another delegate District 2 and has a longshot chance District 1 as well. Otherwise, numbers are looking very stable to me.

EDIT: Obama could maybe get 2-2 in district 6 as well.

Did anyone just see the General election "analysis" the John Roberts did on CNN? What a moron.

Other than Colorado for Clinton, the best part was definitely Pawlenty flipping Minnesota for McCain...as Governor, not Veep.

I literally couldn't make words form in my mouth by the time he finished with Minnesota.

[kevinatcausa]

One line from the Exit Poll that surprised me:

40% of voters considered the gender of the candidate the "most important" factor in their vote.  I don't think this really made a difference in the overall result (Clinton had a large majority even among the other 60%), but the number seems incredibly high.

Is there some sort of gender politics going on in Puerto Rico that I'm not aware of?

[Meeker]

Every Democratic Presidential candidate that has lost in the last 60 years has failed to carry Puerto Rico in the general election. Obama is finished.

lol wtf

[Meeker]

CNN has final delegate numbers at 38-17 as well, and the 68-32 margin has stayed shocking constant the entire afternoon and evening.

That's a wrap folks

[Alcon]

98% reporting

Clinton 257,331 (68%)
Obama 118,972 (32%)

Margin: Clinton +132,359

We better get better exit polling from MT & SD.

[Alcon]

Exit polling was fine (and has been for a lot of elections in a row, now).  It was the polling that sucked, and that was mostly because of a bad turnout model.
