Puerto Rico Democratic primary results discussion thread

[Mr. Morden]

Bush approval:

Favorable 39%
Unfavorable 59%

I wonder if Puerto Ricans overall approve of Bush?  I never knew the ending of bombing in Vieques had that much effect.

Hilarious that Bush is more popular among Puerto Rican Democratic primary voters than he is among all Americans.

Interestingly, the PPD (Clinton-endorsing party) is strongest in San Juan and the college town I can't spell...normally Obama's best demographics.  I wonder how that will play.

Isn't the Governor PPD and endorsed Obama?

Yes, and he apparently is under indictment (election fraud I think).

[Alcon]

I think I got those backwards, then

Very important 78%
Somewhat important 14%
Others 8%

[True Democrat]

67-33 Clinton among those who decided in the last week.

[The Mikado]

Sigh...we might be in for a Clinton trouncing...last one, though.

It'll be over Tuesday...it'll be over Tuesday...it'll be over Tuesday...

Polls have to stay open as long as people are in line. We could be delayed quite a bit.

Clinton 67%
Obama 33%

The parties are split on both apparently, but, by the exit poll, the PPD's supporters ended up backing Obama and the PNP's Clinton (as Obama's supporters were pro-commonwealth and Clinton's pro-statehood).

[Meeker]

Blitzer kind of sounds like he's going to make a projection

[Alcon]

"Wide margin" win for Clinton

[True Democrat]

CNN projects for Clinton.

[True Democrat]

The name of the game is now turnout.

[Tender Branson]

70-30 according to the exit polls.

sh**t man.

[Alcon]

Crappiest polls EVER

[Meeker]

Depending on what she decides to do in her future, this could be the last election Hillary Clinton ever wins.

[Verily]

LOL, 54% say they have a college degree.

[Verily]

Crappiest polls EVER

Wait and see if Carolina is 99% for Clinton or not. If it is, we may be in for some... interesting... results. Puerto Rico doesn't usually have the US media applying scrutiny to its elections.

[Meeker]

More males than females voting in the primary - is that the first race that's happened in this year?

[True Democrat]

By party affiliation:

PNP (58%):
C: 84
O: 16

PPD (35%):
C: 49
O: 51

So much for the governor helping Obama.

Puerto Rico's future:

State (60%):
C: 82
O: 17

Commonwealth (34%):
C: 49
O: 51

[NOVA Green]

Anyone have any links to the official election website for Puerto Rico, or any other sites where they will be posting incoming information by region?

[agcatter]

LOL.  Exits make West Virginia look like a cliffhanger.

[Mr. Morden]

NBC calls it for Clinton as well, based on their "exit poll".
