Puerto Rico Moves

Puerto Rico has become a primary and has scheduled itself for June 1.

This means that Montana (anti-war agita, populist Dem energy) and South Dakota (Daschle), two states holding their contests on June 3, will close the calendar.

The best of all possible news for Obama, right? Two states he's almost certain to win?

Well, a senior Clinton official says that the campaign has targeted South Dakota for victory.

I asked Steve Hildebrand, the Obama campaign deputy manager and native of Sioux Falls, whether he thinks that Clinton has a shot.

He was... skeptical. Very skeptical.
