The GOP primary in Puerto Rico will be held on March 18. It is being well advertised around the island. All three candidates and the nut have suggested that they will campaign around the island depending on Super Tuesday's results.

Puerto Rico Ping! Please Freepmail me if you want on or off the list.

Mitt Romney, has actually taken the toughest stance on immigration during the campaign, and Fortuño agreed to endorse him only after discussing his immigration views with him. “I raised the issue,” Fortuño says. “I am convinced that he will eventually put out an immigration policy that will be more in line with what a lot of other Republicans have been putting out, a more comprehensive approach.”

It appears that “No Core Values or Beliefs” Romney has made a deal contrary to his publicly stated position on Illegal-Immigration. I don’t really believe it’s a question of whether he’s lying or not, but who he’s lying to and it’s probably everyone.

Other Republicans, including Newt Gingrich, have conditioned their support for Puerto Rican statehood on the territory agreeing to adopt English as its official language. Right now Spanish and English are both official on the island, and the idea that English should take precedence irritates many Puerto Ricans, including Gov. Fortuño.

I agree with the governor. PR statehood would force the tenth ammendment to the forefront, and that would be a good thing for the rest of us.

Gentlemen,

Is it possible to bump this thread to Breaking or Front Page News on Sunday for the Puerto Rico GOP Primary? 23 delegates at stake. I’ll plan on posting updates as events warrant.

Regards,

How come Puerto Rico has almost as many delegates as Iowa, and almost double New Hampshire? Not trying to be impolite to our Puerto Rican FReepers (hey guys!), just seems weird that they’re allocated that many delegates even though they don’t have any Electoral Votes in the Presidential Election.

For real? You mean Mitt, who's been acting like a tough guy on Immigration is going to change his policy after he gets the nomination? Imaging that!!!
