Clinton livin’ la vida loca with Martin endorsement

Some pundits have suggested New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is crazy to continue her presidential bid with almost no chance of overtaking Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in delegates to the Democratic National Convention this summer.
Even so, Clinton definitely is “livin’ la vida loca” as the Democratic campaign turns to the really deep South for the upcoming presidential primary in Puerto Rico.
The proof is her endorsement from Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin, the five-time Grammy winner best known for his 1999 smash hit “Livin’ La Vida Loca.”
In a statement Thursday, Martin noted that Clinton, as the senator from New York, represents millions of Latinos and “has always been consistent in her commitment with the needs of the Latino community.”
Martin’s signature song, by the way, was not among those in the contest Clinton held for voters to choose the senator’s campaign song. Nor was one of his best known follow-up hits: “She Bangs.”
