The U.S. territory has 55 delegates...

I would've used another title for said article, but that's just me. Basically, what it states is that Chelsea Clinton will be in Puerto Rico starting tomorrow Tuesday, 5/13 through the end of the week, and Michelle Obama will be on the Island on Wed., 5/14 and Thurs., 5/15. This is Chelsea Clinton's second trip to the Island since April 30th. Bill Clinton was in Puerto Rico for a day and a half at the beginning of April. No word yet on whether Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama will visit the Island. 63 delegates are at stake in Puerto Rico....
