Clinton takes Tamuning, Obama's lead narrows to 7%
With more than two-thirds of the votes for the 2008 Guam Democrat Caucus now in the books, presidential candidate hopeful Barack Obama has claimed a major victory after winning Mangilao, one of the island's larger and more populous villages. That village reported that it has 262 new registered Democrats. Voting for several other big villages is still pending, including Talofofo, Yigo, Yona, and, perhaps most significant, Dededo.
But things are looking up for the Hillary Clinton camp, as the New York legislator won Tamuning by a single vote, 193-192. Overall Obama has 1,393 votes (53%) to Clinton's 1,222 (47%).
Pilar Lujan still continues a strong move for the chairmanship of the Democrat Party of Guam, with 44% of the vote. Joseph Cameron is a distant second.
