Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidential primary in Puerto Rico on Sunday, CNN projects, based on vote results obtained from local party and election officials.

Mitt is such a winner. Gaining the nomination by attacking conservatives just like McLame.
Ba$tard has bought this win and the nomination!
Why are there primaries in the territories? They can’t vote in November! Right?
Well....I guess Micronesia, Outer Mongolia, and Lagos,Nigeria can’t be far behind........
At least Romney won’t win Nigeria until he sends $7,000 to a PO Box in Lagos...
ROTFLOL.....(what makes you think he didn’t already send it? )

Gotta give those US Citizens a feeling of belonging even though they have no electoral vote or Congress representation.
Mitt picks up 20 delegates today. Whether we like it or not ( NOT for me ), this adds to his commanding lead.
I like the word DEPORT more & more.... : )
Santorum had posed a potential threat to Romney in Puerto Rico, since his Catholicism and social conservatism were seen resonating among some voters in the predominantly Roman Catholic territory.
But Romney’s campaign was endorsed by just about every prominent Republican on the Spanish-speaking island, and Santorum angered many Puerto Ricans with comments last week that they needed to make English their primary language if they wanted to pursue statehood.
Romney had about 83 percent of the vote, according to Puerto Rico’s electoral commission. Rick Santorum was in second place with just over 8 percent. Newt Gingrich was third with about 2 percent.
As in “inevitability”, perhaps?? Hmmm???
Puerto Rican GOP voters merely rubber stamp, (into the 80% or 90% vote level), the man who is annointed by the GOP Official RINO-dom elite on the mainland of the USA, and seem to exercise very little independent thinking. They did this in the past three or four presidential election cycles, so this voting behavior has remained consistent.
Color me surprised, another democrat stronghold votes for Romney....
We only have 50 stars on Our Flag!
But, what if Gingrich had dropped out? Then, if we assume that Santorum would fetch the lion’s share of Newt’s vote, that would have reduced Mitt’s margin to 89 to 10 percent, holding the margin of victory below the crucial 80 percent mark.
I would have been surprised if it didn’t go for Romney. Romney has won all the territories.
LOL @ Post 17!
Bad...but funny as hell too.
Of course US citizens living in territories can vote.
