46

Things may have been looking up for Sen. Hillary Clinton with a convincing win in Sunday's primary in Puerto Rico, but this morning the best news is reserved for Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

Heading in to Tuesday's primaries in South Dakota and Montana, Obama only needs 46 more delegates to clinch his party's nomination.

Thirty-one delegates are up for grabs in tomorrow's contests, which are the final primaries of the season, and just over 200 superdelegates are undeclared. The presumptive Democratic nominee must have 2,118 delegates at the convention.

According to CNN, Obama has 2,070 delegates and Clinton 1,915.

hillary wins big in puerto rico

CNN reports that Sen. Hillary Clinton is going to win big in today's Democratic primary in Puerto Rico.

The territory does not vote in the general election, but the Republican and Democratic parties allow it to participate in primary elections.

Clinton's campaign is hoping for a large turnout, because her win today combined with votes from Tuesday's primaries in Montana and South Dakota, could possibly put her ahead of Sen. Barack Obama in the popular vote by the time every state has voted.

Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin endorsed Hillary Clinton this afternoon, just days before the U.S. territory prepares to vote. Martin, who became famous in the mid-90s for his song “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” said in a written statement released by the campaign that Clinton “has always been consistent in her commitment with the needs of the Latino community.”

Latina actresses America Ferrera and Eva Longoria both endorsed Clinton's bid ahead of the Texas primary in March. Other celebrities behind Clinton include Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Barbra Streisand, and Elton John.
