Puerto Rico officially switches to June 1 primary

"Democrat leaders in the US territory say more voters will be able to take part in a primary". Wow! Wonder why the DNC hasn't made that a "rule" in every State and Territory. Sure would be more democratic, like in one-person-one-vote "little d" democratic. Wonder why the DNC "ALLOWS" caucuses, which have been demonstrably UNdemocratic in this election process by being exclusionary rather than inclusionary? Wonder why the DNC has delegates and superdelegates instead of ONLY actual individual voters? Hey, just how democratic is the Democrat party? NOT VERY!! But three cheers for the DNC for "allowing" Puerto Rico to take one small step toward democratization of a grossly undemocratic process.

I hope those in Puerto Rico realize what a gem we have in Barack Obama.

An opinion piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer says it best:

I like the fact the the Democratic Party bosses in Puerto Rico are Clinton supporters.

I also like that the moved the date ahead of sure Obama wins to blunt the effect.

And my favorite part is that they made this a primary, not a caucus.

I thought politicians could only change the rules in the middle of elections if they were in Russia or Pakistan.

Hillary Clinton's positive rating has dropped to a new low of 37 percent in an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday. John McCain has an open field and his approval ratings continue to climb. McCain's team is fresh and gearing up for the race to Nov. Barack and Hillary's campaign staffs are in danger of burning out before the general race even starts. The Democrat leaders have a choice to saddle up with Bill and Hillary and let this bloodbath continue or saddle up and take on McCain and his team as a unified Democrat Party. Hillary has a 5 percent chance of winning the Democrat Nomination, and according to her own pollster she has to go even more negative. We already see this happening. Is this war worth it? Vote Obama!

Obama is not the only politician tainted by the Puerto Rico governor's corruption scandal.

McCain's main advisor, Charles Black, contacted Senate offices to raise questions about the PR's interim U.S. attorney, Rosa Emilia Rodriguez-Velez. Why? Because he wanted to derail this corruption probe, and she was spearheading it.

Will someone ask Mr McCain about his relationship with Charles Black, and why Mr Black was trying to derail a Federal corruption investigation.

Isn't that obstruction of justice?
