I don't know who this'll benefit, but either way I'm extremely happy. Puerto Rico has never had an important say in who'll be President, and it would've been a shame for the one time that they did have a say to have hundreds of thousands (or even millions perhaps) disenfranchised by a ridiculous caucus system. Now hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans will be able to participate in American democracy just like their mainland counterparts and actually make a difference.

Oh, and as Padfoot said, the statehood debate coming up into a national campaign would be awesome.
