Puerto Rico: 23 Delegates, Primary
 
It's on a Sunday?
 
Santorum to PR voters: if you want statehood, you need to make english your official language.

Considering we have 50 other states that communicate together in English this would only make sense.

How many of those states have english as an official language?

how significant is this really, when recognizing puerto ricans cannot vote in the presidential election and puerto rico has no electoral votes

Significant enough that candidates are campaigning for votes in PR.

How many of those states speak a language other than English by the majority? I don't think requiring English as an official language is bad in this case.
 
Results are starting to come in. Still way too early to call(Romney ahead with 92 votes...not percent, but votes)
 
Romney won PR, and big. 83% to 8 %.
 
Unless things change dramatically when the final count is done, Romney gained 20 delegates, no other candidate got any, with 3 at large delegates.

And since Romney got more than 50%, he takes all 20 delegates. That's more than double the advantag that Santorum gained from winning Alabama and Mississippi.

btw, did anyone notice that Mitt actually ended up winning the MS delegate count, with 13 delegates to Santorum's 12?
