I can’t find any info on what happened to the MO primaries yesterday. Good luck in PR today.

[McGruff]

Good choice.

I like how they put photos on the ballot.

Well, all things being equal, the voting Democgraphics that have favored Santorum and Gingrich are heavily present in PR:

(1) Males
(2) Evangelical/Religious
(3) Conservative/Somewhat Conservative
(4) Total Income Less than 100K

However, PR has had a history of voting for the establishment candidate (they voted Bush over Reagan in 80 and Clinton over Obama in 08).

Projections I had for every 100,000 in the 5 District Total are the following. However, because of the tendency for specific voting blocks to vote in “groups”, I am either totally on the mark (or totally wrong).

Romney (63,000-67,000) 63-67%
Santorum (21,000-24,000) 21-24%
Gingrich (7,000-11,000) 7-11%
Paul (1,000-3,000) 1-3%

Whoever wins, it’s probably by a majority and big.

Would love to see Romney defeated in PR!

Thanks Cll - Are you Boricua or did you move there? Lord, I miss good island food out here in Arizona.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

You’re whistling past the graveyard. Romney will win Big in PR.

[Theodore R.]

I would think Romney would get 80 percent or more in Puerto Rico, though it was Gingrich who urged statehood while he was Speaker. People in Puerto Rico vote in blocs.

Looking forward to the updates. Thanks!

[pgkdan]

Why?

[Happy Rain]

Are you bragging or complaining?

You just voted for Mitt Romney so are you really that proud of yourself?

[tuckrdout]

What happened? You said a few days ago that Santorum had your vote? Did his comments on English sway you?

How goes the day?

[GVnana]

Thanks for the update from sunny Puerto Rico and congratulations on your choice of candidate!

[KGeorge]

Thank you for the post, cll.
Can you (or someone on this thread) tell me how to get on the Newt ping list?
And also how to find out about pings- what they are/do, etc?)

Is Puerto Rico winner take all?

Dumb question- why does PR have a primary when they don’t participate in the general election? People from Puerto Rico can vote in the general if they have a stateside address, but there is no vote cast in PR itself.
