Obama wins Guam caucuses by just 7 votes over Clinton
2008-05-04
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 US citizens on the island have no vote in the November election.
A territory that has no vote in the fall has five superdelegates. Tells you everything you need to know about the Dhimmicrats.

#9  All of the Guam locals I'd informally discussed/talked to on this particular subject matter last week were self-proclaimed REGISTERED DEMOCRATS or PRO-DEMOCRATS, and to a person PRO-HILLARY. The factors agz Obama's wid these were his Media/MSMreported links to RADICALIST PERSONAGES AND CAUSES which was interpreted as support by Obama for NEW BIG GOVT HYPER-REGULATION + TAXATION; + RACE FACTORS i.e. Barack is a black man running for POTUS in mostly white America. NOT unlike many Amer mainland voters, many Guam voters prefer to vote for a de facto winner regardless of the merits. IOW, WILL VOTE AGZ OBAMA OR OTHER SIMPLY = ONLY BECUZ THEY DON'T THINK HE OR SHE CAN WIN, NOT BECUZ THEY DON'T LIKE THE PERSON OR ELEX AGENDA.

The abovesame also don't think OBAMA [black male non-veteran] or HILLARY [woman] will win 2008 agz MCCAIN [while male veteran].

*2010 and Beyond > on a separate note from US versus Radical islam, Guam per se is likely to face a variety of simul overwhelming = catastrophic LOCAL-REGIONAL pressures to the whole of its Govt, Economy, Culture, and Way-of-Life, etal.. FROM MARINE RELOC TO REGIONAL GEOPOLITICS, FAMINE-ENERGY CRISES SCENARIOS, TO WARMING, SUN-SPACE, AND "EARTH CHANGES", .....................@etc CONSEQUENCES THEREFROM, TO INCLUDE ALSO FROM MILITANT/RADICAL ISLAM.

*2008 -2012/13 > is just as DECISIVE/
DETERMINATIVE FOR GUAM, AND OTHER ASIAN-PACIFIC PEOPLES-NATIONS, as per USA [OWG-NWO] versus RADICAL ISLAM [OWG Jihad], espec vv SELF-DETERMINATION + GUAM'S FINAL POLITICAL STATUS WID THE USA. [US Statehood versus Independence]. AFTER 2012 > ESCALATORY REGIONAl-GLOBAL PRESSURES MAY BE SUCH THAT GUAM'S FINAL POLTICAL STATUS FATE WILL END UP BEING DECIDED BY OTHER FACTORS, AND THAT THE OPINIONS OF GUAM'S PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER MATTER IN "THE BIG PICTURE".

E.g. HAWAIIAN ACTIVISTS, JAPANESE + TAIWANESE INDIGENOUS, + just last nite SANTA CRUZ REGION OF BOLIVIA reportedly voted for sovereignty and autonomy.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER???.

1960's GUAM TAOTAMONAS and AEROSMITH-THE THEME FROM "ARMAGEDDON" > "I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep, becuz I miss you baby, and I don't want to miss a thing".

Forgot to change my pic-a-nic.

Now that my alter ego has been exposed, everyone keep it a secret. We wouldn't want it to get out....

#4  Seven delegates named Joe! What are the odds?

#3  There'd be 2,250-odd 'one votes', smn, depending on how you dumped them out of the box.

Unlike the superdelegates, where their vote is not secret, and the last one to commit, or switch, will be extremely well-known.

#2  If it comes down to one vote, I hope they keep that last person secret, or his/her life is ruined for sure!!
