El voto loco: Ricky Martin with Clinton

by Mike Dorning

Hillary Clinton is livin' la vida loca today.

The former first lady picks up the endorsement of Puerto Rican musician Ricky Martin, performer of "Livin' La Vida Loca" (1999) and "She bangs" (2000).

Martin made the endorsement three days before Sunday's Puerto Rican primary in a statement e-mailed to reporters by the Clinton campaign a few moments ago.

"These elections will have historic repercussions both in the United States and the world," Martin said in the statement. "Senator Clinton has always been consistent in her commitment with the needs of the Latino community. Whether fighting for better education, universal health care and social well-being, as First Lady and Senator from New York -- representing millions of Latinos --she has always fought for what is most important for our families."

"I am honored to have Ricky Martin's support," Clinton said in the statement. "In addition to his great talent, Ricky is committed to improving the world through his philanthropic work, and I am grateful for his support. He is a very important voice in the Latino community and together we will work to improve the lives of families and children across the country."
