OK,
Erik was right about PR. The Post
debunks talk of the island's Democratic strongman single-handedly awarding 60+ delegates. My guess is that it won't play much of a role (i.e. Hillary won't win by a lot just because it's Hispanic). I don't really know anything about the ethnic dynamics of the Caribbean, but my sense is that whatever racial voting trends one picked up from California (which I think were more based on people just being unfamiliar with Obama anyway), won't carry out into the Atlantic Ocean. It would be just as easy to predict Puerto Rico by looking at the Virgin Islands (90% Obama) and Hawaii (will be 130% Obama) because they are also islands and share a similar sense of their relationship to the mainland.
