Unfortunately for Hillary, in this last critical period in which she tries to make progress with remaining Superdelegates, Bill chose this moment to stomp all over her good news by going on the attack against Vanity Fair:

He could have waited a few days, even a week or two, and still made his points against VF in a timely manner. But no, he has to try to dominate the discussion this week with his desperate counter-attack against VF.

Wonder how Shrillary is feeling about this “memo” to VF and the public just about now?

Here are the numbers posted on the Puerto Rico Elections Commission website, with all polling stations accounted for (http://www.ceepur.org/Presidenciales08/Div/index.aspx.htm):

Clinton - 263,120 (68%)
Obama - 121,458 (32%)

Clinton carried 77 of the island’s 78 municipalities by majorities ranging from 56% (Loíza) to 80% (Barceloneta). Her only loss was in Culebra, where Obama won with 57% of the vote.

Hey, remember this is Puerto Rico. She most likely ordered five guava pastelillos (pastries).

OTOH, was the Vanity Fair piece really just another attack on the Clintoons by Obama’s media shills? This is worth knowing because we’ll have to be fighting the media shilling for the next five months.
