In an exclusive interview with WAPA-TV of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Hillary stated (her words are close captioned in English) that she favors Puerto Ricans voting for the President of the United States in the November general election. Translation: Roughly 2 to 2.5 million votes going to the Democratic presidential nominee, whomever that might be.

55 delegates and 8 superdelegates are at stake in Puerto Rico.

Some 50 delegates were reportedly poised to unite behind Barack Obama if he had won by even 1 point in Texas.
