Clinton takes Puerto Rico
By a wide margin, as expected.AP:
With 85 percent of the precincts reporting, the Puerto Rico vote count showed Clinton with 219,536 votes, or 68 percent, to Obama's 102,304, or 32 percent.Two more primaries left: South Dakota and Montana on Tuesday (Both considered likely Obama wins)
The finish line is in sight.
The count:
Obama: 2,063, needs: 54
Clinton: 1,906.5, needs: 210.5
Total needed: 2,117
And contrary to the Clinton 2012 crew claims, she's not really winning the popular vote.
As Kos puts it:
By the way, in the real popular vote, including Florida which the DNC now accepts, and excluding Michigan, which the DNC now rejects, and including the caucus states (which Clinton and her camp want to disenfranchise), the numbers currently are Obama +183,067.
