SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Hillary Rodham Clinton celebrated a big primary victory Sunday in Puerto Rico, but the campaign of her rival Barack Obama says he will make history and clinch the Democratic presidential nomination this week.

With all of the precincts reporting, Clinton defeated Obama by more than 2 to 1, or 68% to 32%.

Clinton, who campaigned hard here, is well known as a former first lady and senator from New York, home to the largest Puerto Rican community outside of the islands.

Obama is closing in on the delegates needed to become the first black presidential nominee of a major party. Still, Clinton gave no hint of anything but determination to stay in the race and asserted she has won more popular votes.

And we wonder why Clinton supporters have yet to accept reality . . .

1. Wonder if she stressed the hard working white people angle
while campaigning in PR.
