It's like a whole 'nuther country

The good news for Hillary: She'll win in Puerto Rico. The bad news: the turnout was low because Puerto Ricans don't bother to turn out for federal primaries because -- and this is the important part -- they can't vote in the General Election. Camp Clinton has been using New Math to show how she has a higher popular vote count, if you don't count the caucuses, and you count Michigan where she was the only candidate on the ballot, and if it rained on a Super Tuesday state. All of that despite the results of the Saturday Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting. Their ruling split up the Michigan and Florida delegates between Camps Clinton and Obama, which puts Barack Obama at 2,052, just 66 delegates short of the 2,118 needed to clinch the nomination. At the Saturday meeting, several Clinton supporters declared their intention to swing their support to the Gentleman from Arizona if she doesn't get the nomination. That would be unfortunate. Nobody likes sore losers, but don't be surprised of Camp Clinton goes Bull Moose after the DNC convention.
