Sen. Hillary Clinton won another lopsided victory over Sen. Barack Obama in Sunday’s Puerto Rico Democratic primary. With 68 percent of the vote, Clinton gained 38 delegates. Obama gained 17, moving him closer to the Democratic nomination with only 47 more needed.
Clinton thanked Puerto Rico for her victory and added: “More people across the country have voted for our campaign. More people have voted for us than for any candidate in the history of presidential politics. We are winning the popular vote. Now there can be no doubt. The people have spoken, you have chosen your candidate.”
At a campaign rally in Mitchell, S.D., Obama said he had called Clinton to congratulate her, adding: “Senator Clinton is an outstanding public servant, she has worked tirelessly during this campaign … and she is going to be a great asset when we go into November.”
During her victory speech, Clinton also remarked that with the final two contests remaining in South Dakota and Montana on Tuesday, there will not be a nominee as she leads the popular vote and Obama leads in delegates.
“When the voting concludes on Tuesday, neither Sen. Obama nor I will have the number of delegates to be the nominee. I will lead the popular vote, he will maintain a slight lead in the delegate count. The decision will fall on the shoulders of those leaders in our party, empowered by the rules, to vote at the Democratic convention.”
In an interview with the NY Times, Clinton argued that in a few days, “I will have won the most votes — more than anyone in the history of the primary process…And we’re going to have to make our case to the automatic so-called superdelegates. And I think my case is clear — more than 17 million people voted for me. In recent primary history, we have never nominated someone who has not won the popular vote.”
She also responded to the Democratic leadership’s recent urge to make a decision quickly: “I know that people are hopeful that we get a nominee, and we will,” she said. “But I don’t think it’s as important to do it fast as it is to do it well.”
Obama’s campaign responded that both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have gotten more votes than any presidential campaign in primary history. Bill Burton, Obama’s spokesman, added, “We are, however, ahead in the popular vote now and suspect will be ahead when all of the votes are counted Tuesday. That’s not taking anything away from what she’s accomplished. It’s just a fact.”
Hillary just won’t stay down or lay down and that’s probably why Bill was with Monica lol
Puerto Rico doesn’t even get to vote in the November general election, so who cares??? Can she really even consider that a win??? LMAO!
As always, REGISTER TO VOTE
Puerto Rico does not even vote in the November general election, so how can she even really consider that a win??? LMAO!!!

He should have his own TV Show…..
it’s almost over.
It is time to stop taking the dead family dog to the vet and lay that b*tch to rest. Thanks!
Thank you Lola AM. We are talking about the same race of people that have taken their slave master’s culture and adored it to the point that they believe it was FORCED on them out of love( *crickets*) while they reject their OBVIOUS African ancestry at the drop of a hat. They will believe ANYTHING that comes out of a YT mouth because they have self-hate and YT worship down to a science.
Hillary to the convention!!!!!!
Us Puerto ricans are smart we know a fraud when we see one!!
NOBAMA!!!!!
Ms. Dynomite,
If PR s were so smart you would have fought to not have your women sterilized in the 60s, the poor and “dark-skinned ” pushed to come to the US, nor have Vieques used as a military dump or have such unspeakable poverty. I have been to the island so you are not going to fool me with that ” oh la island is so beautiful crap. The PRs are owned –period. If they were so good with fraud then they would have seen the Spanish for who they were. Puleaze. Holla at us when you are allowed to vote in a regular election.
ROTF@16!!
LOL @Tanisha
Damn girl! You did your homework. I don’t no much about Puerto Rico, but they have chosen who they want to represent them just as West Virginia did.
#15 You should do your homework on Hilary – she is the phony. Just because Obama didn’t bring out her dirt doesn’t mean McCain won’t. I’m guessing Hilary’s campaign has been spending all their money trying to find dirt on Obama, and all they can come up with is he’s inexperienced. He’s a senator just like she is so I don’t see why that would be a problem. All that’s left is Rev. Wright, but he’s not running for president
It goes to show us Black People, that in the final analysis, hispanics are not with us.
Okay #20! I think everyone is just jealous of black people! Jesus was a hated man too. They were probably jealous
Puerto Ricans have chosen who they want to represent them in the same manner Kentucky did; where 5:1 said they voted based on race. And there is nothing wrong with that; this is a democratic society and people should vote their conscience. What this has shown me as a Black man is, Black People cannot look to any other ethnic groups for help. I said ethnic groups because, contrary to popular belief, hispanics or latino/a is not a race. There are only three races Black, White and the Yellow race. And I guarantee if you ask any hispanic, male or female, which race they belong to, they would find every other color on the color spectrum to associate themselves with but Black; even though, they themselves might be as black as midnight (I have seen some people in DR blacker than people from the Congo, who do not consider themselves black). So yeah, they might act like they’re with us and are down for our causes when they are around Black People but when in private i.e. a voting booth with the curtains close; their true intentions will come out.
Dukesman2000,
They never were. Like I said they are obsessive about YT worship. They hate their Africaness with a passion while they munch on plaintains, dance to the congo drum beat and practice Yoruba and other African customs….ALL THINGS FROM AFRICA!
I can understand the Mexicans because its not a large part of their culture, but all the other Latinos seem to think we all forgot the more slaves were dumped on their islands their in the US..there was only 5% brought to the US. Even Arnold Sschwanegger let them know when he made that latin and black blood comment regarding the Puerto Ricans and Cubans.
So with all that being said, I am not fazed by them because they have not seen what YT has for them yet. Why you think Gangland on AE is showing all this stuff about Mexican and Latino gangs all of a sudden. He WILL put you in your “place” be it with the notorious justice system, drugs in your community ( already started) and/ or constant media explotiation. So while they are siding with them they better be watching their back. Never mind they will continue to be owned since its all they know.
Yeah. Hispanics wear our shit, bump our music, but they sure as hell won’t for us. Lol. What a joke.
vote*
These hispanics are hilarious to me. I don’t believe in voting in regards to the issues that our people have, but how they voted spoke volumes to how they feel. This is why I laugh at these hispanics that come onto sites like this, or just in general, and think that they can tell me or any other black person how to feel. The majority of them are two-faced to blacks and extremely subservient to whites.
For people to sit here and put down another race because they are not voting the way that you feel they should is very ignorant. I am always interested in what people need to say in this forum because I value peoples opinions and like to see things in a diffrent prospective but when you sit here and call whites honkeys and put down Puerto Ricans you are encouraging what you have fought to stop for many years. How would you feel if you went into a blog where every other comment was f*ck them Nigg*rs. F*ck Obama. I am Puerto Rican and I do pay respect to all the races that make me who I am black, taino indian and Spaniard. Yes the vote of the island does not count but there are just as may Puerto Ricans that support Obama in the states and want to see change. So please do not base your opinion on what the media portrays and putting other races down does not make you look better just stupid.
I agree with Lost Ur Mind and think that we should question ourself when we say that Latino’s are self hating(which some are) when some black people are a little self hating. I do believe that a lot of the voting was racially motivated but I also don’t think we can group all latinos together. I am dissapointed in Puerto Rico though.
agree with #7…I am so sick of her right now. She is really irritating me – she needs to be a lady and know when to back down.
So Hillary has majority vote in Puerto Rico and now all of a sudden Hispanics hate blacks, they’re not with blacks, and wanna be like them? Wow, what a pathetic ass argument from the morons who post here. Every race takes things from every culture, please STOP acting like every other races gets everything in their culture from blacks. And if you didn’t know, Puerto Rico doesn’t speak for the rest of the Latin world. And then you only throw racist comments at both Hispanic and Whites. You’re only contributing to what you’re fighting against: Racism. WTF. Obviously we think with out asses instead our heads nowadays to not see how hypocritical we really are. People with this mentality disgust me.
Well, I know that there’s a percentage of black puerto ricans in PR.Just because Hlary won don’t mean that people didn’t vote for Obama because they did.Somebody’s got to win and someone has to lose.
#27, the same thing can be said about black people. Everyone judges us based on how the media portrays blacks as well. People down our entire race everyday when the majority of what they say does not apply to some of us. So welcome to our world–now you should know exactly how we feel.
@22 you have no idea why Puerto Ricans voted. Puerto Ricans like the Clintons and thats all there is to it. Are you Puerto Rican? You dont speak for us.
@#30 I understand the injustice of the media towards all races not just blacks but for people to put down a race because of their believes whatever they might be is ignorant. Would this discussion even be happenning if Obama was white?
@ Lost ur Mind
You have definitely lost your mind; making a statement like that. That is that Willie Lynch syndrome you are portraying.
kudos to tanisha! state the facts baby!!!
African Americans need to wake up. Hispanics ARE NOT DOWN WITH US, PERIOD
Let the brown/black brotherhood go. it is as real as a three dollar bill!
Lost UR Mind
sit down, you sound crazy
BLACKS HAVE ROOTED FOR THE CLINTON’S FOR YEARS, AND I BELIEVE THAT IF OBAMA WAS NOT RUNNING, OUR PEOPLE(AFRICAN-AMERICANS), WOULD HAVE HAD HILARY FEVER. I ADMIT THAT I WAS DISAPPOINTED, THAT MOST PR VOTERS WOULD RATHER SEE A WHITE WOMEN BECOME PRESIDENT, BEFORE A MIXED BLACK MAN. SELF-HATE AT ITS FULLEST. GIVING PRAISE TO THE SPANISH, WHEN THESE PEOPLE KILLED OF YOUR INDIANS, GAVE YOU DISEASES, FORCED YOU TO SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. YOU DON’T SEE BLACKS PRAISING THEIR SLAVE MASTERS, WE DON’T CALL OURSELVES ENGLISH, BECAUSE WE SPEAK IT, AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON DOMINICANS-SPANISH-HAITIANS IS WHAT THEY REALLY ARE. AT LEAST PUERTO RICANS ADMIT TO HAVING BLACK BLOOD, UNLIKE THE SPANISH HAITIANS.
It’s always going to come back to race/color. Thanks to the media and internet. But when you get right down to it, most whites feel superior to all others and could’nt give a fat rats azz* about Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Asian’s etc… The lighter the skin the better they treat you(in oyur presence). The sooner the other color gropus realize this, they can stop grinning and dancing in their faces, as if they really give a crap about you. Wake up people, and just sit back and watch them.
PUERTO RICANS DO NOT KNOW OBAMA SO QUIT SAYING THAT THEY ONLY VOTED FOR HILLARY BECAUSE SHE’S WHITE. PLEASE! 40% OF PUERTO RICANS IN EXIT POLLS SAID THEY DIDN’T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT HIM TO EVEN FORM AN OPINION. EVERYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST OBAMA IS NOT DOING SO BASED ON RACE. JEEZUS.
NYK, well put
MS Dynomite,
You shouldn’t have even said that aloud. How could they not know about Obama?!
If you are that ignorant about BOTH candidates then why in the hell even show up!?
and please save the blasphemy, thanks
I’d support hillary. Love her smile and her confidence. She always has a positive attitude and that is what makes her outstanding. Everytime I signed in the site (blacklatinmeet.com) and some men were talking about her and said she is attractive.
LMAO @ everyone regurgitating what I have always said about our resident Puerto Rican nutt rag. Ms. Dynomite, if I told you once, I told you twice. You Boricuas are only good for one thing, and that’s simply where it ends.
LOL @ #44.. not even her own husband would agree.
@42, I am not in Puerto Rico I live in the US. I’m saying island Puerto Ricans for the most part do not care that much about this elelction thats why the election turnout ws so low. they have not been paying attention like poeple in the united states. So stop trying to smear the people of Puerto Rico as racists. everyone who doesn’t vote for obama is not a racist. I’m telling you what the damn exit polls said, and 40% said they did not have a positive or negative opinion of Obama because they didn’t know enough about him to even make an opinion.

Wow. For the first time, I actually am in complete agreement with Judah. The only difference is that I have always said this, way before this spectacle. If you all don’t remember anything, remember this: “The majority of them are two-faced to blacks and extremely subservient to whites.” I know that for a fact.
ALL THIS TALK ABOUT PUERTO RICANS NOT “WITH US” IS IGNORANCE. STRAIGHT UP.
We’re talking like children: crying, complaining, and blaming cuz we didn’t get our way. It saddens me.
obama better get ready to be heckled at his “nomination” speech.
@45: quit stalking me.
ms dynomite.. no need to stalk you ma. We got enough Puerto Rican bitches sucking d*ck on the fly for that mess
Ms. Dynomite….why would anyone heckled a Democratic nominee? That might be some ghetto crap that happens in your hood, but keep it in perspective, people with a sense of class do not get down this way. Please save your tired responses for the migente site.
God is in control !!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO you are wrong for that, but it was funny.
Ms Dynomite are you saying you have to be famous in order for a PR to vote for you? If you don’t know enough about someone, then do research. No one new much about Bill Clinton but he won. I would say no one knows much about McCain but I think he’s been around long enough for enough people to know him. The only reason Hillary is where she is is because of Bill.
It’s so funny how people show there true “colors”when a certain situation happens. There’s a lot of in the closet racists on this post I see. So what if they didn’t vote for Obama. Someone said that Puerto Ricians are subserviant to the whites. I guess if they were subserviant to us then it would be okay.SMH. It’s such ashame how now a days people can’t have a different opinion from others without them being ridculed for it, how old are we? This is pure foolishness. What about black people who voted for Hilary, are they traitors?BTW I didn’t vote for her. LOL!!!! What make you think that Obama is going to actually change anything? All politicians tell you what you want to here and then fail to live up to there promises, so what makes you think he or any other candidate is going to do anytihing different? I’m not Obama bashing, but all I’m saying is that people need to quit getting upset and name calling at people just because they don’t like Obama. It’s ridiculous and it’s selfish. It’s really saddens me to see some of my people act like a bunch of children over this. Puerto Rico voted for Hilary, so what, move on with your life because all this complaining, venting, whining and crying isn’t going to change anythings at all. People have different opinions and thoughts, but I guess it becomes a crime when it disagrees with your own Huh.
Plus y’all would have been on the Clinton bandwagon had not a black man with an actual chance run for president. So stop hating on a island who did vote for Clinton.
Tanisha everthing you said was the truth and I love the that you came with facts and historical information and not just opinion. I have long felt that all the Carribean latinos were very into self hating but it has been covered up by their so-called “pride” for their island. Total BS.
Now Ms. Dynomite, ignorance about one candidate is no excuse to vote for a particular candidate, so all that wisdom you claim PRs to have is apparently not the case. Face the fact that your people have built their heritage on the racism that has been fed to them by their Spanish slave master and they are essentially still slaves.
Sorry IMO, this is not about black folks needing Latinos to grovel to them or vote the way the want them to vote. We are not interest in this supreme race stuff. No one needs to be the supreme race in this country. Black people want black to be seen as equal and not a defect. Latinos have been taught their African heritage is a defect that they must hide or cover with obsessiveness for the Spanish culture, which by in large was forced upon their people in such a horrific way.
Secondly, is about the very apparent racism that has been in Latin America for a long azz time and now its really showing its head. That is the fact. Your people need a real mental revolution to be free, so don’t try to nickel and dime this situation. Latinos are racist as hell as it is what it is. Its sad that they are that way since a large number of them from the Carribean are mixed ( current or multigenerationally ) or black.
@57
Excuse me but that is not the truth. I have long seen through the Clintons. I did not want Hillary for president before Obama was a thought in this process. If you don’t want us speakin for your people then do not speak for us. Better yet find a Latino board to go to so you can freely spit your racism and stereotypes. Peace.
