The Caucus has reported that Obama officially defeated Clinton in Guam by only seven votes. Obama received 2,264 votes compared to Clinton’s 2,257 votes. The results from Guam are considered especially significant this year since the Democrats are in the midst of a “delegate-by-delegate” battle.
Because of the closeness of the vote, the outcome in Guam is unlikely to have an impact on the delegate margin. However, the caucuses also determined two of Guam’s five superdelegates. Pilar Lujan, who is uncommitted, won the race for party chairwoman, and Jaime Paulino, who supports Mr. Obama, was elected vice chairman. Two of the island’s other established superdelegates are on record as supporting Mrs. Clinton, of New York.
