Clinton wins Puerto Rico but Obama gains delegates
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
Hillary Clinton has said her fight for the Democratic presidential nomination will go on after winning a largely symbolic victory in Puerto Rico. (article 9) The AP tracks the delegate races by calculating the number of national convention delegates won by candidates in each presidential primary or caucus, based on state and national party rules, and by interviewing unpledged delegates to obtain their preferences. (article 3) The results pushed Obama closer to the magic number of 2,118 delegates needed to become the nominee, and the Illinois senator already has turned his attention to a general election fight with McCain. (article 18) At a raucous all-day meeting of the party's rules panel, which was frequently interrupted by Clinton's supporters, the panel agreed on Saturday to seat the delegations from both states but cut their voting power in half. (article 19) Clinton who trails Obama in delegates and would benefit from validated victories in those two states wants all of Florida's and Michigan's delegates to have votes at the party convention. (article 15) WASHINGTON Hundreds of angry voters many of them Clinton campaign volunteers demonstrated outside the Democratic National Committee meeting today, demanding that the party's rules committee honor all the primary votes and pledged delegates from Florida and Michigan. (article 26)
