Looks like Hillary may not get her huge turn out of excited voters in Puerto Rico. Not that it matters at this point but I find the lack of enthusiasm interesting.

News-Talk 1110 WBT | News Story: More yawns than cheers in Puerto Rico primary (http://www.wbt.com/news/details.cfm?ap_id=D90VIJLG0 - broken link)

Local elections routinely attract 80 percent of voters. And the Democratic primary is open to all registered voters of whatever party, because Puerto Rico doesn't register voters by party. Nevertheless, electoral officials predict fewer than 25 percent of the 2.3 million registered voters will turn out for Sunday's primary.

Exactly how much difference is that gonna make? Or i see, somehow, somewhat the people in PR, who don't even vote in the GE, are supposed to be reflective of how hispanics living in the US vote. Geeez, Clinton supporter could definitely use some artificial thinking machines by IBM

Are you kidding? I have my popcorn ready and drink in hand celebrating the end of this Primary as Obama emerges as the nominee. Yeah, I am shaking in my boots with worry.
