From

(CNN) — Early vote returns from Saturday's Guam Democratic caucuses show Barack Obama with a small but early lead over presidential rival Hillary Clinton, although the bulk of the votes in the U.S. territory have yet to be counted.

With 2 out of 21 villages reporting, Obama won 188 votes to 105 for Clinton. Guam Democratic Party officials told CNN Saturday morning that the vote tabulation is ongoing but will take several more hours to complete.

Polls closed in Guam at 8 p.m. local time, or 6 a.m. eastern time. Four delegate votes are at stake in this event.

It is ironic that Guam, more than likely, once Saturday's primary is over, will face a rapid return to obscurity. The winning candidate will have no political need to return ahead of the November election because - just like the residents of Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands - the inhabitants of Guam have no vote in US presidential elections.

The same DNCC rules that provide enfranchisement during the Primaries for voters that are disenfranchised from voting in the General Election have disenfranchised the voters in Michigan and Florida who ARE franchised to vote in the General Election.

I know,

"rules are rules",

no matter how irrational or undemocratic.

Jayson   May 3rd, 2008 10:44 am ET

Too bad that it is just a waste of money as long as Guam remains a territory.

Gary   May 3rd, 2008 10:45 am ET

188 to 105…that's 64% to 36%.

I wouldn't call that a small lead.

Ken   May 3rd, 2008 10:49 am ET

Good. Wouldn't it be great if Clinton wold drop out after Guam…

…Not gonna happen.

CNN report on Paul Vs. Clinton!

A Little History on this Year Presidential Race.

Hillary will lose out on two ends let me explain why thanks to Bill Clinton and the DNC. The democrat national committee knew Hillary was a polarizing figure to the American people and had lots of baggage that would be used against her in had she won the nomination for president and was their first choice and they the DNC had built this years election process around her.

The DNC knew about Barack Obama when he gave his speech in 2004 and several high profile people including the Clinton's wanted Barack Obama to wait and run for president "8″ eight years from now giving HRC a straight shot at wining the White house in 08 because they new the republicans would not have a chance in hell of taking the office again after a Bush administration.

Now here is why Hillary will lose out on two ends, she could have had the chance to become the 1st women president of the United States Or 2nd The first women to become the 1st Vice President of the United States. Now she will lose out on both because she chose to run her campaign like a republican which could potentially damage the DNC.

Obama / Governor Kathleen Sebelius

Texas   May 3rd, 2008 10:51 am ET

If Clinton wins this, they will call it momentum. If Obama wins, they'll call it insignificant. Why is that?

Eric-PA   May 3rd, 2008 10:52 am ET

Why do we care about Guam? I guess since Obama is favored in Guam CNN wants to give Obama as much momentum as possible before the IN and NC primaries.

mitch from ark.   May 3rd, 2008 10:52 am ET

make guam a state!!!!

rachel   May 3rd, 2008 10:52 am ET

yeah, 64% to 36% is a significant (not a slight) lead.
why does the media have it out for Obama?

Mae   May 3rd, 2008 10:53 am ET

Right Gary. My guess is it will widen in Obamas favor. And I don't expect him to ignore Guam in the future. He has not ignored any part of the electorate so far. His plan is to unite unlike the scorched Earth policy of Hillary

Charlotte   May 3rd, 2008 10:53 am ET

Guam is a caucus, need I say more…Obama has taken over a million dollars in donations from sub-prime lenders. Citigroup,Washington Mutual,Countrywide,Credit Suisse, Centex and Goldman Sachs. He is beholden to them and their tatics. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is a typical politician who will say what he thinks you want to hear. Rev. Wright said it all, Obama is a politician who says what a politician needs to say to win."

YALL   May 3rd, 2008 10:53 am ET

you are right TEXAS, THEY WILL SAY IT IS NOTHING. I KNOW GOD IS WITH OBAMA

Anonymous   May 3rd, 2008 10:54 am ET

Wonder how Hillary Blitzer will spin this.Lets see, I know, voters were once preached to by the Rev Wright.So,the question that Hillary Blitzer asks next in this hour is "Did Reverend Wright cast a voodoo spell on the voters of Guam ? " Your bias is laughable.

Barbara from NY   May 3rd, 2008 10:54 am ET

I totally agree with the comments of "Texas" and "Gary"…but we should not be surprised. This is the same spin we will always hear during this campaign…

Ken   May 3rd, 2008 10:55 am ET

Don't worry, the knockout will come on Tuesday. When Obama wins North Carolina by a lot, and Indiana by a little, Clinton will need to head home.

Report on Paul vs. Clinton!

Their POLITICS AS USUAL machinary is doing its best to kill HOPE…

They use SCANDAL and POUND their negative messages in until people believe the nonsense they want us to..

rachel   May 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

Hillary is willing to do or say anything to get elected.

In Guam, she went on TV and continued fine tuning her skill of pandering to voters as she promised to make Guam equal to a State in the United States.

PhilT   May 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

Self perpetuating relevance. When this is finally decided, CNN will become much less relevant until we start to focus on the general election.

So Hillary will continue to "haunt" us until the "appointed delegates" get the "testicular fortitude" to pound the stake in.

Phil

Eddie   May 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

Why report this if Hillary is not going to fight for these people following the rules vote to count in the general election,but fight for those who broke the rules to count in the primary.Because she does not care if it does not benefit her.

Scott Lindquist   May 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

CNN terminology is interesting. The Guam reporting terminology is revealing. At this point, Obama is leading (188 to 105). That's almost two to one lead over Clinton, yet the terminology is that he has a "SMALL" lead over Hillary Clinton. Yet if Clinton were leading, the terminology would be that she is TROUNCING Obama in Guam. Terms like, SIGNIFICANT LEAD, WIDE LEAD, TWO TO ONE LEAD, AHEAD BY A WIDE MARGIN, would have all been the headlines. I still say that CNN has now become the CLINTON NEWS NETWORK.

Dannie   May 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

I wonder why CNN is so biased against Obama. How can 64% to 36% be said to be small?! In Pennsylvania, Hillary won by 9.35% and that was called double digit whereas mathematically it is single digit. It should be more than 9.5% before it can be said to be approximately 10% or double digit. CNN! Please correct your own error!

Realistic   May 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

I am still waiting for an explanation: Why did Hillary agree to disenfranchise the voters of Florida and Michigan?

The truth: Hillary never cared about Florida and Michigan and agreed — with every other candidate — that their votes would not count. When it became apparent that Hillary couldn't win without Florida and Michigan, then she flip-flopped.

That is the hard truth, and one of the reasons why so many voters despise her. Deal with it.

Like your analysis. Also like the idea of having a woman as vice president (NOT HILLARY).

judyb   May 3rd, 2008 11:00 am ET

Typical CNN…Obama has slight lead. With 10% reporting, he is leading 64% ro 36%. I'd say…early results, huge lead!

carrie   May 3rd, 2008 11:00 am ET

CNN.add that to the total number of states barrack has wone.
it might hury you to do it,but you have to.

Spartacus Levi   May 3rd, 2008 11:00 am ET

Early lead for Oguama? - that's another clear case of pro-Obama media bias! Start up the Saturday Night Live witch-hunt again!

Bill Jones   May 3rd, 2008 11:01 am ET

Dear Texas….
It's moment that counts…not the long term truth or judgement…The Media still wants Obama to lose…It's plain as the nose on their face….
It has nothing to do with issues…just sell more air space…and when a magic thing that came out of no where to be defeating the Billary machine bias goes "wright" out the window….

Allison in Va   May 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

The Paul V. Clinton story (or non story) is pretty interesting. I read something on a blog yesterday and googled it. Humm sounds like more Clinton crooked scandels to me. I dont know about anyone else, but I have had 8 years of that already, and look how that turned out. We lost our credibility in the world because they have no distinction of right and wrong.

carrie   May 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

texas,the answer is that the news media have all been bought by the clintons,from a part of their 109million dollar fortune.
sad but true.

AHAM   May 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

CLINTON NEWS NETWORK, Can we stop with the obama BASHING!?! Please this is getting ridiculous , Report the news and stop trying to be biased for crying out loud.

Obama is leading period, we dont need you to add the 'slight' in there as though it is close, we will decide for ourselves if it is close or not.

This thrash journalism continues and my support for your network will be withdrawn.

Me   May 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Obama will get 3 delegates and Clinton will get 1. Way to go!!!!

Paula in WI   May 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

I find humor in the fact that when Hillary could have went up against Bush she "wanted to wait to get experience".Now that she decided to run 8 years later"she's the more experienced candidate"(according to her.She wasn't there for America when she could have made a difference.This is all bologna on her part to win at any cost.It makes a person sick:
Bosnia lies
Pics of her and Bill with Rezco
Pics of her and Bill with Reverand Wright
Paul Trial
According to her every state is her hoome state
Wants to change rules she signed up for .
NAFTA-now she wants to revamp(because Bill's holdings are a conflict of interest)
The Clintons are liars in my opinion and will do anything to get the money.They don't care about America but they do want to live on our dime.

AK from Uniontown, PA   May 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

Do NOT to vote for HRC!!! Reasons…

The Clintons and partners, Jim and Susan McDougal in the Whitewater Development , whose accounts were kept in the Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan, run by Jim McDougal, with Hillary Clinton as attorney. Federal bank examiners testified that Madison Guaranty was "politically corrupt and routed millions of dollars to politically connected Arkansans."

In the more reserved language, an official report, Madison Guaranty was the scene of "embezzlement," "money laundering," "falsification of loan records and board minutes," "wire fraud" and "illegal campaign contributions" .

Money looted by Jim McDougal found its way into the Whitewater account and into Bill Clinton's political campaign funds. These frauds left the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to pay more than $60 million to depositors with accounts in Madison Guaranty.

By firing all U.S. Attorneys shortly after becoming president — something no other president had ever done before — Clinton got rid of the U.S. Attorney in Arkansas who was investigating the Whitewater-Madison Guaranty scandals and replaced him with Paula Casey, Clinton protege, one of his political campaign workers.

This cover-up and obstruction of justice from succeeding was the appointment of a special prosecutor. Kenneth Starr could not be put on administrative leave. He got more than 20 felony convictions from Arkansas jury, overwhelmingly Democratic state.

Various records showing Hillary Clinton's work for Madison Guaranty were destroyed and others stolen by Webster Hubbell and "lost" in the White House.

Willy   May 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Thank you Rush for keeping the democrats in a tizzy. McCain 08

Trev   May 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

I think the point about the small lead was that few votes have been counted. I know Obama likes to treat 200 votes the same as 200,000 votes (see Ohio and PA and the Texas two-step). However, I think that most reasonable peoople can see through that.

FrankS   May 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

CNN stop being Hillary biased. It is obvious your bias, just reading through your blogs and news, Obama negative news vs. Hillary negative news is like 5:1.

Jack in ND   May 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

""Isn't it interesting that the Deomcrats are more interest in counting the votes in Guam rather then in counting the votes in Florida and Michigan?""

It's more interesting that Guam is more capable of following instructions than Michigan and Florida.

Thats a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE lead CNN.

Ben, MD   May 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Congratulations!

Debbie   May 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

The heading of this story is bias when 64% - 36% is hardling a slight lead. Perhaps just simply saying Obama leads early in Guam. If Obama wins Guam it will mean more popular votes and delagates. I am sure some will say it does not matter but we are the "United States" of America, not the "Big States only Matter".

cbb   May 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Guam has like 2 delegates….

relax Obama fanatics

Charlotte   May 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Ilona Proud Canadian   May 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

I know it is still very early in the count, but by gosh, by golly, what kind of math is cnn using? Must be their own specialty math. How can they equate 64% to 36% as a slight lead. Don't they realize that we are watching the news. Please, don't lie to us just to make Sen. Clinton look good, we are not idiots!!!!!!!! And no, I don't expect to see this posted.

kyle   May 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

what point do they have doing this since they can not vote in november? doesnt matter who they pick. McCain will win in November so give it up DEMS.

Tom in Cali   May 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Guam Shguam… It doesn't matter if Clinton wins.

That woman is the most selfish untruthful politician since Watergate. She's going to downplay her loss in Guam (if she loses) and if she wins, just like Texas wrote above, she would call it momentum. She has already counted MI and FL as the states she won where her opposition didn't even campaign or appear on the ballot.

Hillary already concluded this: "If I can't win, I'll take the Democratic Party down with me" Hope she loses in IN too.

Bebble   May 3rd, 2008 11:09 am ET

I GUESS IN CNN AND OBAMALAND GUAMS VOTERS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MI AND FL.

ARE OBAMACANS GOING TO SHOUT "WE'RE BACK…"
THIS WILL BE THEIR LAST HORRAH.

eric   May 3rd, 2008 11:09 am ET

Unbelievable!

64-36 is a SMALL lead. You guys are crazy. Crazy News Network.

jenny s   May 3rd, 2008 11:09 am ET

Yes I agree CNN will downplay since it does not benefit Hilary and we know CNN has become an advocate of Hilary.

To H - you are laughable calling Obama supports negative and full of hate. Have you been watching Hilary's campaign -what do you call that? Besides all her lies and do whatever it takes to win campaign, she is not for the people, unless those people can help her win.

Obama has taken everything in stride and didn't cry like a baby when things got rough. I'm a women and we don't need a crybaby in the white house.

Clinton's lost   May 3rd, 2008 11:10 am ET

CLINTON NEWS NETWORK please make it clear to your candidate that it is mathematically impossible for her to go to Denver with a delegate lead. She planning a dirty showdown tat the convention and that should be your story and not some pastor who is not running for white house.

Steve   May 3rd, 2008 11:10 am ET

why the frak are Guam-ians allowed to vote.? I though elections were for Americans. I'll bet they don't pay taxes….

Can someone help me, on the following: Why does all of Clintons, Bill, Hillary or Chelsea's rallies only show white people in the audience? During this week her campaign stated that she had a broader based, so she should be electable.

Abby   May 3rd, 2008 11:11 am ET

I am not a clinton supporter on obama supporter. I am a democratic supporter so whoever wins I will vote for.

But this is what scares me… that is Obama is given people a false sense of an overwhelming lead. Facts -

- Guam has 0 electoral votes in the general election

- Caucuses are nothing like primaries and they are nothing like the general election because it disadvantages certain voters (e.g. those that cannot spend 5-10 hours voting).

- Obama would be losing significantly to clinton if we were counting by general election rules.

so when it comes time for the general election, with obama the nominee, I am not sure I like our chances. I don't want another bush term.

Louise from ohio   May 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

Hillary says. - Who cares about Guam. It is just a caucus.

Obama will win Guam by a landslide.

Clinton Led Obama with 10% in the last primary CNN called it double digit lead. Now in Guam Obama is leading by 28% and the same CNN is calling it slight lead. What kind of news reporting are you CNN? The world is watching.

sarah   May 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

It is a caucus what do you expect? Seriously!
Why doesn't Guam count in the GE? If they can't vote in Nov., why do they get to vote now? The DNC is really screwed up.

ACTION   May 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

why the US president primary can not be selected just by " Poll companies", since their polling number are more than representitive of the such as " CAUCUS". When I see the numbers just hundred and thousand, it is like a children's game. Do you think those results are fair to represent?

ZappoDave   May 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

I'm pretty sure these results in what is commonly known as a freakin' LANDSLIDE.

It's sad what has happened to CNN. I can remember a few years back when I had them on almost 24/7. Of course I don't watch them anymore, other then catching Jack Cafferty clips here and there.

Slight lead = Pathetic and false Reporting.

middle aged female democrat   May 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

I say "Do the Math". Unless Hillary starts "stealing" superdelegates, which BTW, are equalizing as Obama has garnered a lot more than Hillary in recent months, he is the nominee.

We hear "Hillary is a fighter."….Well, no, she's a divider and self interested. She should be fighting for the Democratic party to take the Presidency in November. Instead she fights for her own self interest. Read the handwriting on the wall.

She is qualified. She is smart, but she is not going to win the nomination, and if she really cared about the direction of this country, she would use her superior intelligence to work on getting a Democrat in the White House.

Far be it from me to say she doesn't have the right to continue. She absolutely does, but what good is she doing?

To florida and michigan voters. Why wont you put the blame on where it belongs on YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS…..it's not Hillary or Obama's fault that your votes didn't count. But it's even more absurb that you are blaming Obama when they both agreed to the rules and Hillary was quoted several times stating "it doesn't matter to her because YOU DONT COUNT ANYWAY"…..she's behind and now she cares about your vote? you should be protesting on your local streets, court house steps and city halls….you should have made a big deal out of it in the beginning….the problem is most people including myself thought Hillary was going to win Iowa and New Hampshire so big that everyone would drop out and she would be declared the victor even before super tuesday….Well Iowa had other plans and the rest of this country followed suit…..Again, take responsibility and accountable for what YOUR LOCAL OFFICIALS DID and learn from this mistake…..You will be seated and at the end if you care that much about the issues, you will vote that way.

If we had to pay for it, we wouldn't buy it. I guess this is really just for the moderator but hey, I tried.

Even if Clinton does really good in Indiana and N. Carolina, DNC will still give the nomination to Obama because he is black. They don't even care if he wins McCain, they just don't want to piss off the blacks.

Cali   May 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

Guam don't know about Obama race and liar that's why their vote for Obama. Their will be sorry after that.

Roxanne   May 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

The numbers are insignificant at this time because only 10% of the total vote is in. There have been other races that one or the other candidate was ahead with only a small percentage of the vote in only to end up losing after all of the votes were counted.

Marcin   May 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

For all the Obama supporters out there:

64 to 36 was large, but Hillary's quickly catching up. On CNN TV, the ticker now shows Obama with 55% and Hillary 45%. Let's just wait till this is over before declaring one candidate's supremacy over another's.

I suspect that the vote will be very near to 50-50

We needs a chenge in America, vote for Obama, he's the camdidate who cam win against Mccain in November. Can't we see that, please yours wake up…. Mccain will be so happy to have Hilary as chellenger because the majority of American do not want a woman as President of USA.

Doreen   May 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

Obama fails miserably in the big states, in the majoritiy of primaries, and in the all important swing states, where Hillary has trounced him. Anyway, lets wait till all votes are counted in all remaining states and territories. Vote for Hillary, she's the best. Obama has serious flaws, the likes of which the public hasn't even been aware of yet due to the pro-Obama media suppressing things. However, the Republican research department has so much on Obama, just wait till the Republicans unleash it in November.

g.r.pavan   May 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

Stop with the michigan and florida thing already, hillary deserves what shes getting. She was too confident and felt so entitled that this race was hers to have. She agreed to the punishment that would issued to those states if they decided to go early, now she wants to back down because it serves her interest. Itsn't that so republican?

McCain/Clinton vs. Obama/Caine

Ex Hillary Supporter   May 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

Guam COUNTS because unlike FL & MI they abide by the rules! It is clear some Hillarious supporters dont have a clue and when they get a clue they will be just like me an EX Supporter! HillBag agreed to not count the votes of MI n FL because they moved their primaries up n violated the rules! But being how Hillarious is a BIG Flip Flopper do ANYTHING to get votes.. NOW she wants to go change the rules 'AGAIN' The true woman comes out!

All you people that are upset because it is being termed a small lead, get real and stop beleiving in fairytales will you. It is a small lead because it is only 2 out of 21 villages reporting. Would you acll 83 votes a commanding lead this early in the results. For you idiots that made it into percentages, what is wrong with you. If 3 votes were counted and Obama got 2 of them would you still think in the same terms? A commanding lead 66% to 33%! You act like little children if Obama isn´t immediately Idolized and declared King. It is a good thing that he is leading or his wife may never have been proud of America.

Bob, Lyons Oregon,   May 3rd, 2008 11:29 am ET

To all the Clinton supporters who continue to say the media is biased against clinton, are just not true statements. The media is just trying to get readers to read their story, and they are just as negative on Obama, such as the statement on their Ticker that they are keeping up that states "Obama losing support". This is a crock, as Obama supporters are very dedicated, and look past all the controversy, because we study our candidate and know what he is all about and what he stands for, as well as his policies and plans. Polls can be manipulated to pretty much say anything someone wants them to. If you want to vote for someone that has the integrity and is an honest candidate, then Obama is your man, but if you want to ignore all the facts, all the scandals, all the lies, all the spin, all the pandering, then vote for clinton. All you have to do is search the web, and there is alot of information out there about the clintons and their scandals. The repubs have not even started on her yet, but if for some reason she steals the nomination because of her negativity, they will start blasting her, and she will lose, why do you think the repubs want her to win, they know they can beat her.

Clinton = the scandal queen

John, Portland, Oregon   May 3rd, 2008 11:30 am ET

Obama will Win in Guam going away. The only question is the spread over 65%. On Tuesday he will win in North Carolina by 8-10% and actually do better in the delegate count spread. Indiana has been a toss up for awhile. I would have said he would have won 51-49 before Wright's act last week so it will be interesting to see how it breaks down on election day. I grew up in Indiana and is still has some racist hangover voters, especially over 65. They simply will not vote for him. How many of those go to the poll is hard to say. Barack would not be spend so much time there in the last week if he did not think it was still in play. This is going to be close but delegates go a right down the middle.

Eliot   May 3rd, 2008 11:30 am ET

By the way — I love you Michigan and Florida — I have lived in both states! Indiana and NC - Please support the candidate that truly cares about you, tells you the truth, and doesn't pander to you!!!

Go Obama '08!!

I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE MEDIA HAS BEEN UNFAIR TO BOTH CANDIDATES. THEY ESPECIALLY HAVE BEEN HARD ON HILLARY. SHE HAS PROVEN THAT SHE CAN LEAD. I DO NOT WANT THAT ETILIST OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HE IS A LIAR AND LOOK WHO HE CHOSE AS FRIENDS…..RESKO, WRIGHT, 60′S RADICAL, WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE THAT HAS TO DEFEND HIMSELF AND FRIENDS EVERYTIME HE GETS THE MICROPHONE IN VIEW.

The U.S. should either grant independence to its colonies (Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands) or give them statehood with the same rights as the current fifty states. The same status should be granted to the District of Columbia.

Montana is Obama Country   May 3rd, 2008 11:33 am ET

Such BIAS by you… Your…. CLinton News Network…. is showing..

OBAMA in O8!

Debbie   May 3rd, 2008 11:33 am ET

Realistic - totally agree with you. So many Hillary supporters are screaming (hatefully, I might add) that that the DNC and Obama are the ones that disenfranchised MI and FL and that Hillary is their savior. Why didn't she speak up before she originally signed the agreement if she's so outraged?

I've read so many comments regarding Obama supporters drinking the Kool-aid. With arguments from Hilary's side like the whole disenfranchisement thing, I think it's time her supporters start checking out what they're drinking.

matt   May 3rd, 2008 11:34 am ET

the results just got closer.. it wil be a split 2 delagates each. and the voting turn out isnt going to matter for either canidate.. this is absolutely absurd to even think quam matters.

Indiana and N.C matter.. and the only thing that matters in both of them is who won the amount of votes..

right now hillarys in the lead with all votes counted.. or did you forget your a democrat

Richard   May 3rd, 2008 11:34 am ET

Guam is an island that is closer to Japan than it is to the U.S. (Hawaii). It just goes to show that Obama's appeal is far reaching. OBAMA IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME LEADER. GOBAMA GOBAMA GOBAMA!!!!!!

Lola   May 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Another pointless roar for Obama.

Spectator Consumer   May 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Obama needs to crack 66 percent to get a 3-1 split (2 delegate pickup). He needs 57 percent to get a 2.5 to 1.5 (1 delegate pickup). This is because 8 delegates with 1/2 votes will be sent to Denver. Anything less than 57 43 then you get a 2-2 split, and it didn't mater.

Right now, with 37 percent in, there is a 55-45 split, meaning Obama meaning it's a 2-2 split currently.

PGraber   May 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Obama will probably win as it is a caucus and he and his team can cheat as usual.

BioMan   May 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Keep the dream alive and HOPE to our young people that there must be a better way. The time has come where politics should be about solutions and hopefulness, not gimmicks.

Lisa Salt Lake City, Utah   May 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

Lets see, Hillary wins PA by 9.2% and that is called "DECISIVE" when she claims it as her state that her grandfather, father, and she grew up in as a Scranton girl. (she was expected to win by 20% and she got less than half -but the mainstream media continually calls it decisive) but when Obama wins by double digits, it is always insignificant. There is always something wrong with the people who voted. Why does the mainstream media only like people in OH and PA?

PCS / North Carolina   May 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

North Carolina, beware of Hillary's illiegal ROBO CALLS from W.V.W.V ( Women Voice Women Vote). Ex officio -Maggie Williams.

its become a norm now that whenever obama has any lead/victory its described as narrow/slight one, but if its any HRC lead/victory its described as a big/huge one (…wolf blitzer's favorite)….but its not only the opinion of the Coerced News Network's, its all over most of the media :D

HILLARY SAYS SHE WILL SUE "OPEC" TO FORCE CONTROL OF PRICES, WHAT A JOKE. BUSH TRIED TALKING DIPLOMATICALLY WITH THE SAUDI'S ASKING OPEC TO BRING DOWN THE PRICE AND THE SAUDIS LAUGHED. IF ANYBODY OUT THERE BELIEVES FOR ONE MINUTE SHE CAN FORCE DEMANDS ON OPEC IS DILLUSIONAL. OPEC WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE THE PRICE OF OIL WITH HILLARY'S THREATS. SHE HAS CROSSED THE LINE AND IT'S A DANGEROUS LINE TO CROSS. WE WILL PAY.

Rob   May 3rd, 2008 11:41 am ET

I also must commend Herman for saying what I've been thinking for a couple of months now - Senator Obama and Governor Sebelius would be a huge ticket. She would bring administrative experience, successful bi-partisan appeal, gender identification, and strength to augment Senator Obama's vision and direction. Regarding the media bias in this election…. duh! Senator Clinton has not been asked ANY of the tough questions as to her electibility. It is time for some reporting on the Paul vs. Clinton fraud and corruption lawsuit moving forward in California.

Barnie   May 3rd, 2008 11:41 am ET

A reporter from KUAM news in Guam told Tony Charfauros, chairman of the democratic party of Guam, that election coordinators told her that 6000-7000 extra ballots had to be printed to accommodate people who are not Democrats who wanted to participate in the caucus. There is speculation that some Republicans in Guam are doing what Rush Limbaugh told Republicans to do and are voting in the Democratic caucus to cause mischief. You can see the web interview with Tony Charfauros on KUAM news from Guam.

Jona, Denver, CO   May 3rd, 2008 11:43 am ET

Well the Guam Pacific Daily News now reports Obama in front with 683 votes; Clinton trails with 596. That's 53% for Obama, 47% for Clinton.

THAT'S a slight lead :-)

20 minutes earlier it was 497-401 (55%-45%), I'd say someone is closing a gap.

Collins- Riverview, FL   May 3rd, 2008 11:43 am ET

This is a great race. I have a feeling after this Tuesday it will all but be over for Hillary. Wait….she's a fighter! That means even if she loses both states on Tuesday, FL & MI voices need to be heard! She won't give up…
she will never give up. NO MATTER WHAT!

Fighter? or in serious denial?

The American People will be the judge.

Donald from SC   May 3rd, 2008 11:44 am ET

Unless a candidate takes 75% or more of the vote, the delegates will be split 2 to 2. So, this is more of a moral win for the candidate.

Charlotte,

The total you have is from the employees of these firms; and 1 million dollars from 260 million dollars, do you really believe that would buy a candidate? Boy that is really reaching.

KPO'M   May 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

The "race" seems to be tightening as more votes come in. In any case, it's difficult to see how this will result in anything but a 2-2 delegate split, though Guam also has 5 superdelegates who haven't committed yet, either. I can't see how any candidate could have been "favored" given that neither one campaigned there, except by video.

Jona, Denver, CO   May 3rd, 2008 11:48 am ET

Why are only pro-Obama posts approved by the moderators?

I don't understand why the Obama supporters are complaining about CNN so much, it's just the other way around…

Realistic you are so smart. Why can't all Florida and Michigan voters realize she backed DNC's disciplinary action against these two states but is now so concerned about the votes. She is a big phony…a regular Washington politician continually blindsighting the American voters. Hopefully most will see through her and vote the only candidate for President…Senator Obama.

Bova   May 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

Something must be wrong with CNN.
Any way, let wait for the bigger fight ( NC and INDIANA).

mj3   May 3rd, 2008 11:50 am ET

As I read these comments it is blatantly clear that as long as people of the same political party continue to bash Clinton and Obama, instead of being steadfast in their hope that either one will win the nomination with enough wind in their sails to beat McCain, we will certainly NOT see a Democrat in the White House next January. It's one thing to support one or the other but why the mean spirited words? Talk about giving something for the GOP to bash us about.

Tawanda Bell   May 3rd, 2008 11:51 am ET

They have it out for Obama because they did not believe that he could. See what the media might not understand is that when it is your time then guess what it is your time. Cant not forces on earth or the media stop it when you are in line with the universe and God is on your side. They will see!

Lynette   May 3rd, 2008 11:52 am ET

This is the second article on CNN you posted your comment about OBAMA taking money from subprime lenders..Check your fact ..

You may not like a candidate but don't fool yourself you are not strong enough to do what you're trying to do.

Obama will be the democatric nominee and the next president.

MCcain is just BUSH under a different skin, Hillary has to much baggage and is too polarizing. we're in the 21st century and we're falling behing CHina , militarily and economically , we need fresh blood in the white house.

One of the large "villages" in Guam voted last Saturday before the new Wright controversy surfaced.. It is possible those votes swayed the early returns. CNN is running the results on their ticker now.

It's 55% to 45% for Obama at 10:52 A.M. Central Time.

Hillary has some legal issues she needs to face. It won't get better with time, girlfriend. The judge saying you don't have to testify until after the November elections doesn't mean your problem has gone away. The republicans are going to destroy what little credibility you have left. HRC is damaged goods. I'll vote for McSame to prevent another impeachment of a democrat. Having viewed the online evidence, I think she's in big, big trouble. If the evidence is false, maybe CNN and the other media should report on it????

P.O lady   May 3rd, 2008 11:57 am ET

Wake up, American!! Can't you see Hillary is using her typical policital way to get your vote? Stop listening to her "tax holiday!" I't not gonna happen. If you people believe that the tax holiday can get you anywhere, it would be "bleeding pocket."

Sarah   May 3rd, 2008 11:57 am ET

What's going on with CNN, the only network news that I watch and have been watching since 1991.

Of late, your reporting has become very biased towards Hillary Clinton - Tuesday night and every night for that matter recently, you have Lanny Davis, a supporter for Hillary, on every show starting with the Situation Room, Lou Dobbs, Larry King and last but not least on Glenn Beck. Dobbs and Beck hardly ever seem to be balanced by having a supporter of Obama on the show - at least Larry King seems balanced and seems to have caught on that Hillary's supporters do not answer the questions but rather have their own agenda to be on the show and spew whatever they want to say no matter the question asked. Watching Lanny Davis on every show is beginning to make me sick - he appears to look ill or maybe what he is saying over and over again on every show he can get on is making him sick - and why is he on every show? This should not be allowed and is becoming very suspect and not good "judgement" on CNN's part.

There was a discussion Tuesday night on Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room about bringing the discussion to an end and they, as the media, not repeating endlessly about Rev. Wright and Obama - at least one show seems to think it's about time this ended and I'd like to say "thank you" to Jack Cafferty who seems to think along these lines too. There was no such repetition day in and day out on any of the shows that I mention here about Hillary's repeated LIES about the Bosnia sniper fire.

Also, it is refreshing to have someone like Roland Martin on the show - he seems to realize that there are 2 sides to a coin and not just one side.

I was very interested in one of the guests, I believe on the Lou Dobbs show (a rarity to have someone from the other side on his show) saying that even though Obama knows Rev. Wright for over 20 years he was not sitting in the pews for all those years and was away for at least 15 of those years - how come no one gave Glenn Beck this information. Come on Lou enough is enough lets not keep harping on this issue.

Also, why does Glenn Beck always mention he is a recovering alcoholic even when it does not pertain to anything on his show. I am sure in his alcoholic days he must have said (from his own mouth not is pastor's mouth) and done things that he is not proud of but should people keep bringing that up and saying that because of that he should not have his own show?

Lou and Glenn are Christian and yet their behaviour in recent weeks is far from Christian! I would like to say especially to these 2 guys - when you point one finger at others, 3 fingers are pointing back at you! Lou is so patronizing and condescending - it's always his way or no way!

What has also shocked me recently is clicking online on the CNN website and seeing a picture of Hillary Clinton on the page asking people to donate $5.00 to her campaign - what is going on - CNN has changed drastically - for the worse!

Jtorre   May 3rd, 2008 11:58 am ET

The Clinton News Network (CNN) will predictably portray an Obama win in Guam as insignificant. If Hillary wins? Yeah, Yeah, she's gaining momemtum!! The blatant bias and racism in the media (Fox News, CNN etc) is unbelievable!!.

Anonymous   May 3rd, 2008 11:59 am ET

Don't the Hill-Billies realize that if Florida and Michigan were counted that Obama would be guaranteed the needed 2025 delegates for the nomination? Even though "The Polarizer" would have surely gained on him if those two states were counted, Obama would have perhaps 130 more delegates (Florida - 33% of 211), (Michigan - maybe the uncommitted 40%? = 60) and would now be sitting on 1864 with a probable gain of 96 more by Wednesday.

West Virginia, Oregon and Kentucky would get him 60 more and so on. and that's WITHOUT any more superdelegates. She would be in worse shape if the two were counted, so be careful what you wish for.

The only reason she is able to advance this "I-know-I'm-behind-but-so-what-I'm-more-electable" argument is because they did NOT count those states.

You can speculate all you want about well, that momentum would have altered othere results, but 2025 is 2025.

As an American watching from Canada with roots in the south, I can tell you with no uncertainty, CNN, ABC, and Fox all appear to play to Hilliary's campaign. It's extremely sad, but true.

I watched MSNBC last evening, then I tuned in to their Website and I must say I was surprised and happy to see they at least appear to be reporting more evenly and truthfully.

CNN I'm a supporter, but I just wish you would use a more unbiased approach to this election.

And for all the haters, may God continue to bless you and May God Bless America,

One last time for all those who keep whining about Michigan and Florida.The RULES were broken by the 2 states. Clinton and Obama promised to abide by those RULES. Obama wasn't even on the ballot!!! Hillary, true to form, campaigned there anyway, and 'oh my god' got all the votes. Your indignation is misplaced in an effort to help Hillary 'steal' the election. Get over it.

Charolette,
BillClinton WAS impeached and he also lost his license to practice law..Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

changed mind   May 3rd, 2008 12:05 pm ET

I wonder if Super Tuesday was today how Obama or Clinton would do?
Maybe they should poll those states and see how they would vote knowing that Obama has ties to Wright, Resko, Ayers a terriost that killed Americans.Ayers who gave Obama his first fund raiser in his home.Worked with him giving grants to radical Palestinian activist named Khalidi.

A win is a win!!!! He continues to lead!!! CNN get your facts straight. He has a significant lead and that is only the beginning of what will follow on Tuesday. Hillary go home and CNN stop misleading people with your media tactics and start reporting accurately! The truth will win out in the end!!!!
OBAMA '08!!!!!

I hope it kicks butt…

why is Guam important in the primaries and not in November general election? what's is going on? why waste all the votes by adding them to the primary total votes to elect a president? What a confused system together with the Dem's delegates count. Why do we have to live with all this confusions. Go back to one person one vote as simple as that and count only the US states. And have we resolved whether McCain was born in U.S. to be eligable for being a president?
Are we going back to the Suprem Court again?

It is funny how if Obama gets the win here it's expected or the chamorro people are out of touch with current events, but if Clinton wins it's continued momentum and how enlightened the chamorro people are. Nope, no bias here.

Obama '08

Hildegarde Schildgen   May 3rd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Florida and Michigan didn't play by the rules. Guam did. Makes a whole lot of difference.
Wake up clinton supporters, she'll never win. too much baggage.
Not trustworthy. and heaven forbid we will have bill back in the wh.

Michael in Columbus, Ohio   May 3rd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Just as the Clintonites were screaming in Pennsylvania, a win is a win…….

angelina st paul mn   May 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

yes indeed, thankyou Gary and Texas, that is right if it was BIllary leadihng for 3 points it is a BIG lead……….but if it Obama is a "slight lead," even if the lead is .60%

i encourage everyone to stop reading CNN the royal clinton news network, they have not published the paul vs cllinton and in fact they erased the comments on it, and those of the you tube… posted by bloggers yesterday………….

anyway, Gary i am quoting you , as i could not have said it better, thank you (we know the rounding and interpretation of numbers from cnn is all clinton)

"188 to 105…that's 64% to 36%.

I wouldn't call that a small lead."

Hillary voted for Iraq   May 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

CNN…better hurry up and spin Obama's lead into a racial negative!

cameleon116   May 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

once again CNN correct delegates ?????????????????

obama 1746
clinton 1607

brenda thompson   May 3rd, 2008 12:16 pm ET

First i would like to say, I hope Obama wins. But my complaint is with cnn and msnbc, You all are so racist. Every time obama wins its no big deal, win hillary wins its such a major deal. What happen to just reporting the news and not being so opinated. Did you ask the candidates who are catholic to denounce the pope, when all those children were being molested, no. What someone else said or does,does not mean the candidates are responsible, but it shows your real racist thoughts about obama. i hope america can see that the media tells people who to vote for by discrediting the candidate they don't want. When will american apologize to the african american people for slavery. Lets deal with the real issues, and i believe that Senator Obama can be a President for all people, which believe you all dont want it to happen, he can bring us all together and work for all of us. Buchanan, good morning joe are republicans, so you know they are not going to say anything nice about obama, and it looks like hillary is working with the republicans, anybody but obama is your theme song, and we know it. God Help America.

Joe Reg   May 3rd, 2008 12:17 pm ET

No way, Guam just like Puerto Rico will quickly fall back into political obscurity soon after there results are made public, because the buck stop there. Can't cast a ballot vote in November. What's the point?

Small confort, there are voting Obama. Now tha is significant. I really hope that they do not waste their vote on Hillary.

Julie   May 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

To President bush and Congress. Show the American people that we do matter. I vote to ask Mr.Obama to resign his postion on the U.S Senate,

He has shown conduct unbecoming a U.S senator
He has shown disloyalty to America
I could add more, but I think that covers everything.

Obama Supporter for Charlotte   May 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Carlotte, We know you like Hillary, but If Senator Obama gets the nomination, we will still welcome you with open arms. Reading some of your posts, you are well equipped to help us fight John McCain. LOL. Come on, Charlotte,

Yes We Can.

AJ - North Carolina   May 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

HILLARY FOR GUAM!! Here in North Carolina - Hillary has A LOT support - so does Obama… but I see the shift changing and my girl will get the nomination come convention time!

YES SHE CAN!! Hillary 2008

brown   May 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Please drop out Hillary, you can't win, is this what you're going to say to the "superdelegates", "guys I know Obama won more delegates, I know Obama won more states, I know he has more pupolar votes but I'm better than him". DOES THIS MAKES ANY SENSE TO ANYONE?

Indiana Voter   May 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Folks, please be objective and look at how the 2 candidates have run their campaigns which is what really matters. If you are going to hold Rev. Wright against Obama, then you need to hold Bill Clinton against Hillary. After all, she has knowingly stayed with him despite his numerous affairs. How does that make sense. If you say that Bill doesn't matter, then you have to apply the same logic for obama - wright doesn't matter either.

I've researched both candidates and Obama is the better choice. Hillary is telling the people in Indiana just what she wants us to hear like she thinks we are so dumb that we cannot tell the truth from a lie. The gas tax promise and her other promises are all empty, just like our gas tanks and hillary is not going to fill either one.
