Obama extends lead over Clinton
Guam's support for Barack Obama continues to mount, as the senator from Illinois has extended his lead over his New York counterpart, Hillary Clinton, in the 2008 Guam Democrat Caucus. With 12 out of 21 local voting precincts now having been accounted for, Obama has 899 of the 1,668 total votes (54%). Volunteers from the Democrat Party of Guam have counted 769 votes (46%) for Clinton.
But the Clinton faithful still have hope, as the critical precinct of Dededo - the island's most populous village - remains uncounted.
The polls closed at 8pm Saturday evening, with the tallying of votes taking longer than originally projected, due mainly to an unexpectedly large number of voters that came out.
