Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - HUBdate: "La Grande Caravana" and Election Day in Puerto Rico

June 01, 2008

"La Grande Caravana" Yesterday, Hillary led the campaign on a caravan across Puerto Rico.  "It's get-out-the-vote like we haven't seen in the States. ‘This is a very traditional way of campaigning in Puerto Rico,' said Kenneth McClintock, president of the Puerto Rico Senate and a co-chair of Clinton's campaign here. ‘We know it's not done in the states. But Hillary is learning to campaign borriqua-style.'" As the caravan winded along, Hillary blew "air-kisses to the crowd, waved at women in rollers who have come running, screaming, from beauty parlors, and stood quietly looking out over the landscape." Read more and more.

Previewing Today: Hillary will celebrate Election Night in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

On Tap: Tomorrow, Hillary will campaign throughout South Dakota, attending "Solutions for Securing South Dakota's Future" events in Rapid City, SD, Yankton, SD, and Sioux Falls, SD.

Decision at the RBC:  Harold Ickes and Tina Flournoy issued a statement yesterday following the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting: "Today's results are a victory for the people of Florida who will have a voice in selecting our Party's nominee and will see its delegates seated at our party's convention.  The decision by the Rules and Bylaws Committee honors the votes that were cast by the people of Florida and allocates the delegates accordingly. We strongly object to the Committee's decision to undercut its own rules in seating Michigan's delegates without reflecting the votes of the people of Michigan. The Committee awarded to Senator Obama not only the delegates won by Uncommitted, but four of the delegates won by Senator Clinton. This decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party. We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the Credentials Committee and appeal for a fair allocation of Michigan's delegates that actually reflect the votes as they were cast."
