Obama Wins Guam!
I don’t think this has ever been an important caucus:
HAGATNA, Guam - Barack Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton by seven votes in the Guam Democratic presidential caucuses Saturday. The count of more than 4,500 ballots took all night.
Neither candidate campaigned in the U.S. island territory in person, but both did long-distance media interviews and bought campaign ads for the caucuses.
Results of the count completed Sunday morning Guam time show delegates pledged to Obama with 2,264 votes to 2,257 for Clinton’s slate. That means they’ll split the pledged delegate votes. Obama’s slate won in 14 of 21 districts.
Eight pledged delegates will attend the convention, each with one-half vote.
This means that Obama has won American Samoa, US Virgin Islands and Guam - a clean sweep, so far, of overseas US territories…only Puerto Rico remains. Can Obama take it all? Will Hillary claim at least one consolation win in the battle of territories most Democrats couldn’t name with a gun pointed to their head? Also, given that the uber-left is opposed to imperialism in all forms, should Obama denounce the support of these imperially-occupied territories?
Geesh - long, long primary process, huh?
