How should Hillary court the Puerto Rico vote?

[sniffa]

Listening to her today in Kentucky, it's apparent her voice coaches got her KY accent pretty good. Seeing as she only has, maybe, one last shot in the 3 remaining contests, how will she hammer that vote home?

I'm thinking she should be driven down one of the main drags, waiving the flag, to the tune of, "Puerto Rico! Puerto Rico!"

If she tries to co-opt the accent, it will just be seen as pandering.

What say you?

1. Only if she's also bumping some Big Pun with heavy bass

:thumbsup:

:rofl:

[Yael]

2. I am thinking a joint ad with Larry Sinclair?

That or promoting the pardons of the FALN.

[jgraz]

4. Get Rita Moreno to teach her the Pro-Puerto Rico side of "I Like to Be In America"

Then get some guy dressed up as Obama to sing the anti-PR side with her.

[dailykoff]

14. you beat me.

:mad:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Change her name to H-Lo and make shitty music.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. She really needs Fat Joe's endorsement

:D

[4themind]

10. LOL

good one

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Rosie Perez, too.

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

17. But doesn't Rosie think that white men can't jump?

;)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. But she'll always do the right thing.

;)

[sniffa]

23. Does it In Living Color

:D

[sniffa]

12. I'm thinking of South Parks' J-Lo

"Hiii ham Heeelary Cleenton"

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. LOL!

[4themind]

6. Probably say that'll she'll support them becoming a state

if they so choose, heck she said it for little old guam, imagine for P.R. Too bad for obama that the governor got indicted, that really could have helped him get a foot in the door, among hillary's high name-value and appeals from her NY puerto rican constituency

[Ken Burch]

8. Damn, jgraz beat me to the "West Side Story" reference.

Well, she could still tell the crowd the Jets back Obama.

[jgraz]

40. Early bird gets the DUzy.

:P

[Upton]

9. Develop a Puerto Rican accent?

I mean, when has she ever worried about her actions being seen as pandering?

[dailykoff]

11. Get dressed up like Anita and sing I like to be in A-mer-ee-ca

while doing a hot cha-cha.

[panader0]

13. Seriously, what do the polls ay about PR?

I can't believe Obama won't win there.

[book_worm]

20. It won't be a blowout like WVA but Hill will probably win...but

we'll see. But whatever, Obama will take both South Dakota and Montana.

[Ken Burch]

18. Y'know, it's been bugging me that we don't have a "Puerto Rico" forum in the

"States and Countries" groups. Is the PR vote being discussed in "Democrats Abroad", or in the "Latin America" forum.

[dempartisan23]

21. bring karl rove with her to san juan.

[Adelante]

22. I can't wait 'til she starts talking about

Puerto Rico's electoral votes.

[sniffa]

24. As Puerto Rico goes..

[K Gardner]

25. She needs to switch from whiskey/bourbon to RUM.. QUICK.. MOJITOS for all !!

[AlCzervik]

26. and she should be blasting this song-

[sniffa]

27. Din dah dah, din doh doh

Ah, that breaks me back.

[AlCzervik]

[KoKo]

28. Supposedly Puerto Rico goes to Hillary ....even if she adopts a

mispeaks PR accent. :shrug: Just what I read on the blogs outside DU that have a liberal bent to them.

[DearAbby]

29. Hillaree Cleenton spent her summer months

in Puerto Rico, when she was a little nina...at her Uncle Jose and Aunt Jaunita's casa...she learned to dance and make hats with fruit on them! She's a home-girl! Everyone in Puerto Rico loves Hillaree!

[invictus]

41. LOL! n/t

[madrchsod]

30. spainish in a mexican dialect

[ecstatic]

33. Did J Lo endorse yet?

[Honeycombe8]

34. Maybe she can stand on a balcony and sing "Don't Cry For Me, Puerto Rico?"

:rofl:

[McCamy Taylor]

35. She needs to campaign with Chelsea. Catholics love "Mother Mary". Latinos vote for her

because her strength and dedication to the cause of working people and the oppressed and her strong relationship with her daughter and the way she stayed beside Bill remind them of the steadfastness of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Goddess of the Americas under whose flag Mexico drove out Spain.

Hillary Clinton is just a natural for absorbing Latino and Catholic votes. She can not help it. All she has to do is stand around and be who she is. All of them wish they had a mother like her to see them through the bad times.

[dailykoff]

39. She'd get creamed in the GE over abortion.

Don't kid yourself.

[Ken Burch]

44. Borinquenos (Puerto Ricans) don't get to vote in the GE.

They should, but they don't.

[dailykoff]

47. And Mejicanos don't vote in the PR primary.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is a Mexican saint.

[Ken Burch]

48. Actually, she's the patron saint of all of North America

(so PR would probably be in her jurisdiction.)

[Patsy Stone]

36. Free Piña Coladas

and a Ricky Martin concert. She can come out and join him for "Livin' La Vida Loca".

[quaker bill]

37. I second the motion, Mojitos for all!

[graycem]

38. Hire Rosie Perez to be her

voice coach for the day? :shrug:

[Tatiana]

42. Obama ganará la isla. Recordamos los Clintons y Vieques. n/t

[Aloha Spirit]

52. Yo espero.

[Czolgosz]

43. She should court the Puerto Rico vote with a really awesome concession speech.

[sniffa]

46. Ha!

:rofl:

[papapi]

45. Who cares. She's finished. Kaput. Done. Over. Toast. Washed-up...

Get it?
Got it.
Good!

[Renew Deal]

49. lol

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

51. There's lots of ideas here.
