Puerto Rican voters are getting the Clinton and Obama campaigns to loosen up. Apparently, Hillary’s already quite loose, as she heavily favored to win the territory’s primary on June 1 when 63 delegates will be up for grab (which is more delegates than will be available on June 3 from Montana and South Dakota combined). Among Puerto Rico’s seven superdelegates, the New York senator has a 4-2 edge over Obama, with one uncommitted.

Several Puerto Ricans have been blogging that they feel Obama acts just too elite to represent them — a problem he’s heard many times before. Rumors about the senator from Illinois have also been swirling on some TV talk shows regarding Larry Sinclair’s allegations about Obama. Puerto Rico hasn’t played a significant role in choosing a presidential nominee since 1980.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama proudly display their ages on their Digg.com candidate profile pages, but John McCain’s profile on the popular Internet news aggregator seems to be missing something.

McCain will be 72 years old in August.
