The difference is this, black voters who are voting for Obama does so for many reasons, one because he is black, two because Hillary started to play the race game and three because she is just plain nasty and deceitful. HOWEVER, if Obama was Spanish, you would definitely see that this game would have been over long time ago. Why? Because most if not all, of the latino voters would have voted for a spanish representative oppose to Hillary.
She won also among the young people....there goes Obama's fans, say bye bye....

Getting statehood for PR has off and on been an issue in the democratic party. The dcn includes PR in the nomination process to make a statement. Remember, a nomination process is not an election--nobody is voted into an office. Because it's a nomination process, the dnc can choose any method they like and count (or not count) vounts from anybody they want. The dnc chooses to include PR, even though PR cannot vote in the GE.

Puerto Rico doesn't even vote in the GE, so who cares? Anyway, they are for the most part ignorant and were voting for Clinton on name recognition alone.

It doesn't matter in the long run. McCain will lose the general election where he will get a thumping.

Pretty typical turn of events after a candidate is selected.
I support Hillary Clinton

Why try to less her win? If more people would have voted, she may have got a larger win in votes.

Woot Hillary

Well let's see. Puerto Rico - for the most part ignorant. West Virginians - uneducated idiots. Pennsylvanians - Religious gun fanatics. These sentiments come through loud and clear by numerous posters.

What do you folks plan to do with the great unwashed who are too stupid to have the right to vote. Eliminate them? Never forget the political advisor who told his candidate "Sir, you have the thinking man's vote". The candidate repied "But I need a majority to win".
