Very strange. I haven't seen any threads here about the Puerto Rico results all night

[Seabiscuit]

Apparently, she won in a landslide:

[TwilightGardener]

1. Puerto Rico is a must-win swing state in the fall. No candidate has ever

won the Presidency without winning PR.

[Mezzo]

16. like those red state caucuses you guys don't have a chance of carrying in the fall? Man that's rich

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

22. LOL - had me going for a second there....

[GarbagemanLB]

2. It will definitely help her with that state in the GE.

Oh wait, they have no say in the General.

[ruby slippers]

5. good one......"that state"....ha ha

[Mezzo]

17. yeah...and BO will carry Utah.

:popcorn:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. Too bad they can't vote in November, Mr. Ed.

[mystieus]

4. 100 percent of Clinton voters in Puerto Rico are confirmed to not be voting for Obama in November

[RNdaSilva]

37. Nor for McCain...

major problem here. How will we survive?

[kwenu]

6. Go Hillary! Go home!

[Kool Kitty]

7. Hillary is on C-SPAN right now giving her

victory speech.

[the_real_38]

8. Yes, he got quite a thrashing down there ....

... but he's still ahead in delegates. It really is up to the Super Delegates now, and they need to carefully consider the choices. Anyone could win at this point - quite exciting!

[anigbrowl]

9. With only 350k people voting, it's not the huge game-changer she hoped for

A lead of a million or something in the popular vote might mean something, even though PR won't vote in the GE and the popular vote doesn't count in the nomination process. But picking up 120,000 votes or whatever it was doesn't really bolster that argument.

In short, nobody cares.

[Mezzo]

20. lots of caucuses had less than 350k. Why don't you marginalize them?

[Occam Bandage]

44. Problem is, Hillary needed 700k to have a shot of taking "the popular vote."

Now, the only way she can claim that is if she counts the MI votes (despite the RBC saying MI wasn't a legit contest), discounts the uncommitted votes (which the RBC declared indicated support for Obama), and doesn't count caucus states. She could have led it outright, but Puerto Rico didn't give her what she needed.

[anigbrowl]

46. Because they didn't have campaign surrogates predicting a turnout of 2 million.

Her campaign hoped for a huge bump in the numbers and didn't receive it. That is all.

[Elspeth]

10. There were a bunch earlier in the day.

Lots of folks have gone to bed. :)

[Skittles]

11. well the circle jerkers won't say shit

and the Hillbots have pretty much been run out of town

[Seabiscuit]

31. Best explanation yet. ;0)

[candice]

12. They are all just racists hillbillies...doesn't count!

Obama is the ONE!

Take a chance on your own aspirations! We are the people we have been waiting for!

(Free tickets to Jonestown, Guyana. Codeword: Obama)

[Capn Sunshine]

13. Did I see you on youtube this afternoon?

:nuke:

[cali]

34. you deadender hillbots are the true cultheads.

Whatever your goddess of war, hilly tells you to do you do. Truly like the inhabitants of Jonestown. So sad.

[papapi]

14. Puerto Rico? Are we suppose to take this seriously? Puerto Ricans have been....

...trying to decide for at least fifty years if they want to be a state or not. Why should they even have a say in the primary?

[Mezzo]

15. that's because Obama didn't win.

[Seabiscuit]

32. Oh, that's right. This isn't DU any more. It's Obama Underground. ;0)

And Obmanoids don't want to hear the words: Puerto. Rico.

[Occam Bandage]

43. "don't want to hear"

So what's your Ignore list at? Break 500 yet?

[pnorman]

45. Listening to some of the whining crap here,what comes to mind is:

"DIXIECRAT UNDERGROUND". And here's the chief moderator:

[CreekDog]

18. That settles it, she should run

for president of Puerto Rico. :think:

[SoCalDem]

19. La mujer rubia loca ha ido a casa

(babefishing)

[ruby slippers]

24. ah, is something amiss???? because.....

when I put it into the Spanish to English translator (sorry, I'm behind in learning Spanish and I know I have to catch up fast), it said...

The crazy blonde woman ha ido home So, what does ha ido mean?

[SoCalDem]

25. I typed in: "The crazy blonde woman has gone home"

ha ido casa is their version of "has gone home"

[ruby slippers]

27. snort...so you used a translator, too....Me fooled....but, you know...it

es sólo una cuestión de tiempo until we have to know it. After all, a lot of telephone prompts now start out... Oprima el número 2 para español even before they tell you to press 1 for English.

[ruby slippers]

21. so are all the Hillary supporters on other websites now? And, heck,

it isnt' even news on MSM. All reruns....I've seen Larry King's "American Idol" segment three times now in the last 36 hours....

[2008]

23. There just wasn't a lot to say about this landslide

She won big, but it won't make much difference. It was a gigantic, insignificant win

[SoCalDem]

26. Like being the best Tuba soloist...

at a string quartet competition :)

[ruby slippers]

30. you are on a roll tonight.....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Oceansaway]

28. 'the road to the White House goes thru

Puerto Rico....just in case yas forgot....

[Seabiscuit]

33. LOL!

:applause:

[mythyc]

29. HEY IT'S WIPEOUT!!!! WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!! =D

caps intended... one of GDP's most hilarious gaffes ever

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RNdaSilva]

35. It was a nice vacation...

nothing more, nothing less.

It is over.

[npincus]

36. turn-out was extremely low.

[Perry Logan]

38. It cuts into the braying.

[Seabiscuit]

39. Let's get this straight: 68% to 32%? That's better than West Virginia.

Are Puerto Ricans now "bitter" and "clinging" to their bottles of rum? Will that be the Obamanoid meme?

[Occam Bandage]

42. Yeah, in a non-state that can't vote in the GE that Obama didn't contest. Woo.

[NatBurner]

40. freakus deakus

[Occam Bandage]

41. And turnout was less than half of what she'd need to take the "popular vote." No threads because

it doesn't really matter.
