Despite some delays in the tallying of votes from Saturday's Democrat Caucus, in which Guam is playing a key role in determining who will gain the nomination for the race for the United States president for that party, Senator Barack Obama leads Senator Hillary Clinton by a margin that continues to narrow as more precincts report in. As of 12:40am Sunday, 5 out of the 21 precincts had been tallied, with Obama's count besting Clinton's 56% to 44%.

The initial projections were for the votes to have been counted by 11:30, but slight delays pushed such work back. Still, the Democrat Party of Guam told KUAM News they were quite pleased with the sizable turnout, more than they had expected. Those villages that have now been tabulated are Asan, Inarajan, Chalan Pago, Ordot, and Maite.
