Puerto Rico awards its delegates all-or-nothing (about 66).

All pledged delegates for the Democrats are awarded proportionally. No of their primaries or caucuses are winner take all.

Technically true. However Puerto Rico's local Dem leadership customarily pledges their 63 delegates all-or-nothing, presumably to boost their national influence. See http://www.usnews.com/blogs/barone/2008/02/06/puerto-rican-poll-power.html.
