6. I know the answer to this one.............

Hillary: When I was a little girl, my grandmother brought me to San Juan and taught me how to fish for marlin. I remember fighting with that fish, and it was (stretches out arms as far as they'll go) this big. Just like the story I'm telling you now.

[EFerrari]

[tridim]

8. Well she was friends with Rico Suave in the 80's.

And I believe she worked in a "rich port" in her youth.

That should do it.

[Lucky 13]

11. According to Hillary NYC and PR are inextricably linked.

Ergo, by her being "from" New York, she is therefore also "from" Puerto Rico. What don't you understand about that?
:eyes:

Can someone see about routing her flight down to Puerto Rico to pass through the Bermuda Triangle? You'd really be doing us a solid.

19. Your too late:

The financially strapped Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico has a new patron in New York senator and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton -- just weeks before the island's Democratic primary.

A bill filed by Clinton last week seeks to reverse that decision by requiring the NSF to reinstate the funds.

But supporters of the observatory point out that a funding initiative by the Bush administration may double the NSF's budget during the next 10 years.

In a release issued by her Senate office, Clinton highlighted that Cornell University is a New York institution. She stressed the "historic relationship" between that state(NY) and Puerto Rico.
