Puerto Rico Primary Election 2012: Romney, Sí; Santorum, No

By J.J. McGrath

The magnitude of Mitt Romney's landslide win in Puerto Rico's Republican presidential primary election on Sunday indicates Rick Santorum's gaffe about the territory's principal language and its effect on the potential for statehood probably had an impact on the results.

With about 83 percent of the ballots counted, Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, was first with 98,375 votes (83 percent), while Santorum, the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, was second with 9,524 votes (8 percent), according to CNN.

Meanwhile, former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas attracted 2,431 votes (2 percent) and 1,452 votes (1 percent), respectively, CNN reported.

Enrique Melendez, the Republican representative on the Puerto Rican State Electoral Commission, told The Associated Press that Romney "won the Puerto Rican primary by a huge margin and we are granting him the 20 delegates" that were at stake in the election.

Puerto Rico will have 23 delegates in all at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., in August.

Gay Republican Blitzes Puerto Rico, Gets Ignored

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Everywhere he goes, he's ignored by his own party — including, apparently, in Puerto Rico.

Fred Karger, an openly gay protest candidate for the Republican nomination, has spent six days on the island campaigning and lobbying the office of Gov. Luis Fortuno for a meeting. But according to an article in today's Puerto Rico Daily Sun, the territory's only English-language daily newspaper, the administration never got back to him. The article, which is not available online, points out that Karger has spent more time here than any other presidential candidate.

Of course, Fortuno isn't the first prominent Republican to snub Karger: he has devoted much of his candidacy to antagonizing the GOP for what he sees as an anti-gay agenda. Most in the party establishment view him as a gadfly at best — if they know who he is.

But while Karger has failed to make inroads with the party, he's proven extremely adept at getting local press to pay attention to his efforts. Versions of the Sun's headline have appeared in newspapers from Manchester to Michigan: It's practically a genre by now.

Meanwhile, the front page of the Sun makes it clear that editors didn't take kindly to Romney ending his visit to the island early in order to focus on Tuesday's primary in Illinois.
