HAGATNA, Guam -- Barack Obama has defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in Saturday's Democratic caucuses on Guam by just seven votes.
More than 4,500 island Democrats voted.
Neither candidate campaigned on the island in person.
Results of the all-night count completed Sunday morning Guam time show delegates pledged to Obama with 2,264 votes to 2,257 for Clinton's slate.
The territory sends four pledged delegates and five superdelegates to the National Convention in August in Denver, although U.S. citizens on the island have no vote in the November election.
If I had to make a guess on the delegate count here, Barack Obama probably won 2 pledged delegates and three super delegates, to Hillary Clinton's two pledged delegates and two super delegates. It is interesting that, while neither candidate campaigned on the island, they still split the Democratic vote with only a difference of seven votes between them. This story really shows just how divided the Democratic Party is between these two candidates.
