Niiiice! It would be wonderful to add Puerto Rico as our 51st state! BlueCaliDem Nov 2012 #1
I'd love it if PR became a state in Obama's term. RichGirl Nov 2012 #5
I do too. calico1 Nov 2012 #8
Four million people in that little island. That would be more than a handful of House Seats. demosincebirth Nov 2012 #66
Repubs would block every move to achieve that. demosincebirth Nov 2012 #67
That is quite nice. brer cat Nov 2012 #2

What is the status of DC residents?? Angry Dragon Nov 2012 #4
DC has 3 electoral college votes. eqfan592 Nov 2012 #6
The same number as Alaska? Oh, that must really toast Caribou Barbie! Indpndnt Nov 2012 #21
If Wyoming has 2 senators D.C. should have two also. Plus two congressional seats. demosincebirth Nov 2012 #64
DC requires a constitutional amendment, which I'm fore. Peurto Rico does not. nt cecilfirefox Nov 2012 #63
thanks Angry Dragon Nov 2012 #68
Actually it doesn't. All they have to do is apply for statehood. Angleae Nov 2012 #77
Both are valid ways to admit DC. One way, however, can't be blocked by racists. Bucky Nov 2012 #78
Give it an election or two. Angleae Nov 2012 #80
I like it. K&R Egalitarian Thug Nov 2012 #7

Way cool. Baitball Blogger Nov 2012 #17
Adopting PR as the 51st state under Obama could establish the Democratic Party as ancianita Nov 2012 #20

Me too! obamanut2012 Nov 2012 #37
I'm not so sure if I'm a fan of the circle. It's too hypnotic! Proles Nov 2012 #31
