#1 CNN NEWS this Guam AM > OBAMA NEEDS ONLY 12 SUPERDELEGATES TO CLINCH DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

However, unless MCCAIN screws up royally or suffers a catastophic health setback, POLLS + PUNDITS > OBAMA is still anticipated to lose agz Mccain in November, AS MOSTLY WHITE MAINSTREAM AMER TEND TO PREFER A WHITE REPUBLICAN OLDER MALE + MIL VETERAN, etc. IN TIME OF WAR, CRISIS, OR UNCERTAINTY.

OTOH, RADICAL ISLAM > SAVING THE JIHAD > IMO I don't believe the Islamists can spare the MANY MONTHS = 1-2 YEARS TO HELP OBAMA WIN THE US PRESIDENCY + INITIATE US WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ.

* AMERICAN HIROSHIMA event > the Dems-MSM will blame Dubya + GOP [read-MCCAIN]???

#2 MARIANAS VARIETY > CLINTON WANTS AMERICAN SAMOA TO VOTE IN PRESIDENTIAL POLLS.

Good for Hillary, but IMO a AmerSamoa-specific formal vote-referendum on FINAL SELF-DETERMINATION vv USA would be better. I DON'T PERSONALLY OR MORALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF LOCALS NOT HAVING ANY OFFICIAL SAY IN THEIR DESIRED AGENDAS OR FUTURE(S), be it Local to Washington DC or vice versa.

E.g. GUAM + US MARINES RELOCATION > USDOD Mil Planning is normally OPEN-ENDED + SUBJECTIVE, and my sources are still telling me that the anticipated MARINE RELOCATION FROM OKINAWA [includ OUTSOURCING] IS NOT INCONSISTENT WID US PLANS-OPTIONS TO STAY OR WITHDRAW FROM THE WESTPAC REGION. IOW, 'tis a FALSE POSITIVE result as subject to whims of POLITICS.

AFTER 2010 > the next few years and decade will see across-the-board, potens destructive = alterative external and internal pressures on local Guam-WESTPAC resources and "status quo" ability to govern and control its own Govt, Culture, Society, Economy, etc.
