Technically isn't this the next contest?
In 2008 on the democratic site it was:
4521 total votes
Barack Obama 2,264
Hillary Clinton 2,257
For the republican side it was:
2,934 total votes
Mike Huckabee 1, 286
John McCain 1, 648
Paul - had no votes but this doesn't sound right
The #'s for the Dems suggest a 'blue' island.
This is a somewhat militarized island...so the military vote could be important (could be a good or bad thing). Apparently there is an independent streak on the island and not all like the idea of the US using their island and a oversized aircraft carrier.
According to the CIA fact-book, whites are in the minority (7%):

Think this is a good thing as we're losing the white-trash vote big time. On the downside it is 85% catholic (Santorum and Newt could play this card)
Only 9 electoral votes at stake, but this could be a great momementom win going into Super Tuesday if we can pull it off. I think this demographic (especially without a democratic contest) could be receptive to an anti-war message.
Anybody have contacts here? Anybody know our chances?
