(June 1, 2008)—Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton chalked up a convincing, but largely symbolic win Sunday in Puerto Rico’s Democratic primary.

Early returns showed the former first lady with a solid lead over rival Barack Obama.

A pre-election poll suggested she could wind up with nearly two-thirds of the vote, but even in defeat, Obama was on track to gain at least 14 delegates, bringing him within 50 of the 2,118 needed for the nomination.

Aides to the 46-year-old Illinois senator are predicting he will clinch the long-sought prize within days.

Montana and South Dakota hold primaries on Tuesday, which are the last elections of the primary campaign season.

Sorry...but I usually go with my intuition...gut reaction...and Obama makes my skin crawl.

I'm not really for Hilary Clinton or John McCain...but I'm sure against Barack Obama. They all campaign by saying what they think the American public wants to hear...but none actually follow through. Obama is pure poison to Americans and the American way. How anyone could vote for that sleaze ball is beyond me. Snake in the grass is what he is.

If you vote for Obama, you are voting for the final blow of destruction of the U.S.A.
