It is the Clintons’ long history with Puerto Rico — and Hispanic voters in general — that gives Clinton a decided edge in the island’s presidential primary on June 1, not to mention that her home state of New York has approximately 1 million Puerto Ricans.
But Clinton needs something approaching a mathematical miracle to catch Obama in the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination. Puerto Rico has 55 delegates at stake in its primary, but Obama had a total of 1,977 to Clinton’s 1,779, according to the latest Associated Press tally. He was just 49 delegates short of the 2,026 needed to clinch the nomination.
As Clinton wrapped up her Puerto Rican swing, Obama marked Memorial Day in New Mexico, a battleground state in the general election.
