Democratic Race Unchanged By Hillary's Puerto Rico Win
Here are the stats from Puerto Rico, with 99% of precincts reporting:
• Hillary Clinton leads 68%-32%, with a 140,000 lead in the raw popular vote total.
• For the territory's 55 pledged delegates, Clinton will get 38 to Barack Obama's 17. While a +21 take from a single contest might normally be impressive, Obama still leads by over 150 total delegates.
• Turnout was radically lower than anybody had predicted. A total of 380,000 ballots were cast, making up only a little over 16% of the island's voters -- well short of the 900,000 that both campaigns had once thought was a reasonable estimate.
In short, Hillary Clinton's big win today has not changed the fundamental delegate math, with Obama still likely to clinch the nomination later this week. As for the popular vote metric, Clinton will only be able to claim such an advantage if the Michigan primary is factored in to give her nearly 330,000 extra votes, and crediting Obama none of the "Uncommitted" votes that his supporters cast in that primary.
