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

Florida voter   May 4th, 2008 12:03 am ET

Wow 7 votes, this brings momentum for Obama?!?! Yeah right! if he would have won by 20%, well then sure but . .16% of the vote he won by! GO HILLARY

Michael   May 3rd, 2008 11:57 pm ET

It was 7 votes, not 7%. No bolstering allowed Obamamites. I had conceded Guam to Obama. This one would have been a big win for him 3 months ago. Things are going exactly as Hillary predicted, the more that people learn about Obama, the quicker he will fizzle out.

Vera from California   May 3rd, 2008 11:54 pm ET

Thanks Guam, you did ythe right thing!
All you Hillary players need to come on over to the other side in November, you guys have been wrong long enough:) come on you know you want to, line up and follow the super delegates..Man Up folks!

mitch from ark.   May 3rd, 2008 11:53 pm ET

oh yeah! another blowout by obama!get out of the race hillary .you can't win.mathematically impossible.obama within 16 on super dels.obama wins 31 contests to a paltry 16 by hillbillary.liars don't win elections anymore!go honest ob!the best president since lincoln!hillary is a republican who is trying to destroy the democratic party,now that she is rich!she's part of the new right-wing conspiracy with rush limbaugh,using un-needed republican votes to influence the party,and calling it operation chaos.they should be jailed for undermining the integrity of a national election.oh yeah,and hillary really has no intention of pulling our troops out of iraq,because she wants to use them in a war on iran,while we have troops on both sides of iran's borders.no more wars,hillary!!

Max   May 3rd, 2008 11:38 pm ET

A win is a win. He gained 7 more popular votes. Is that was the Clintons are going by this week? Obama set up a HQ there to get his name and stances out there. He is fighting a name. That is really all she is. I had a few undecided people sitting by me at the JJ Dinner in Raleigh last night. They thought her actions were terrible. She opted to speak early and take all her supporters with her to an off site event. The event was across the street. The dinner is for the DEMOCRATS to celebrate and to converse with each other. Her campaign and namely, her, has lost sight of what she is trying to accomplish.

Ricardo Williams   May 3rd, 2008 11:37 pm ET

Congrats Obama. It's been a hard few weeks for Obama. Beaten by the press not for his policies but a series of personal attacks. He has owned up to his mistakes. Anyone of you out there who have not messed up at sometime raise your hands. Yes you hypocrites. It is time to move on. Both Democratic Candidates show great fighting spirit. but it is time to shut things down. Bye bye Hilary

Wow, Obama and Hillary was close. Finally, he won in Guam.

I beliave he will continue to win in N.C and Indian.

JN   May 3rd, 2008 11:18 pm ET

yea the momentum goes on ..and yes, she IS still losing!

Mike in CA   May 3rd, 2008 11:12 pm ET

OK, one more time.. BO supporters…..PERCENTAGES ARE BASED ON 100……the number 7 out of 4500 total votes is 7 divided by 4500…result .0015% (one and a half thousandth of one percent….not 7%) please go talk to your school's math teacher or your child's math teacher :)

Mary NC   May 3rd, 2008 11:12 pm ET

if Hillary had won Quam by 7 votes,she would be yelling to all superdelegates a win is a win so yell the same Obama-A WIN IS A WIN Go Obama,NC is for you

KC   May 3rd, 2008 11:11 pm ET

To all the idiots who called other people idiots, it is 7 VOTES not 7 points. Votes are things that people actually go into a poll and decide which person to choose. The island of Guam actually has people, and it is 7 more PEOPLE(=VOTES) who go for Obama than Clinton.

AJ, IL   May 3rd, 2008 11:10 pm ET

A win is a win! If Hillary-supporters are saying that Guam doesn't matter because Obama and Hillary split the delegates, they should revisit who is leading in pledged delegates! If Obama takes Indiana and North Carolina on May 6th, then that would mean three wins in a row and the superdelegates will trickle even faster to Obama.

Obama in 08!

billy yates   May 3rd, 2008 9:48 pm ET

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is a flake, is he nothing more than a preacher, that is all he wants to do this will go to the dnc, with howard dean yelling like a little baby (LOL) remember that fla. and mich. will come too play hillary won fla. out right by a big margin and BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA was stupid enough to take his name off the ballot in mich. that is why he and his campaign wants to split the votes what loosers.

you throw fla. and mich. in the win column for hillary this thing is just about over, that is why they are waiting as long as they can, i vote rep. mccain will win by a landslide againt BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA againt hillary it will be much closer.

You dissapoint me. The Rev. Wright, POLITICS OF FEAR, instead of a picture of Senator Obama with the above headline…….Wonder if Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, and a few others can resign and head on over to Fox News; you all deserve each other. What gets me the most is that you somehow think this strategy is working for youe favorite candidates, "The Clintons". How much did your network get paid?

simon   May 3rd, 2008 9:46 pm ET

I know many complaints have been filed against the Obama campaign in the past for cheating the caucus process by bullying people around and purposely delaying the voting process causing many of Hillary's supporters who couldn't stay late cause of work or cause they have to go to their families not to be able to participate.

Anonymous   May 3rd, 2008 9:45 pm ET

It's seven votes… 2264 for Obama and 2257 for Clinton. It's not such a significant win for Obama— it's a tie when you look at the consequence. Two votes for Obama, two for Clinton.

Tyler ND   May 3rd, 2008 9:45 pm ET

Looks like Guam has spoken…. Shows the both of them are equally worthy of the presidency

Obama Supporter   May 3rd, 2008 9:45 pm ET

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT WENDY!!!GOOOOOOOOO OBAMA 08!!((YES WE CAN)) AND ((WE WILL))

Marcia   May 3rd, 2008 9:42 pm ET

It's not 7 votes morons! It is 7 percentage points!

why rev wright headline when obama wins guam??????   May 3rd, 2008 9:41 pm ET

media terrorism, thats for sure….kudos clinton news network…..the new kithchen sink!!!!!!

Wow!   May 3rd, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Guam superdelegates, kindly endorse for the winner :-) ..thanks!

TERESA   May 3rd, 2008 9:34 pm ET

.7 VOTES huh ? I would check those votes .
Whats with Baracks supporters constantly playing the RACE CARD ..
Rev Wright did and still is.. The Clyburn guy from S. Carolina is still doing it , and everytime one of his supporters are on tv thats all you hear out of their mouths …
The entire time they are playing the RACE CARD , they are saying others are doing it, which is untrue …. and is nothing but republican tactics …
I can only hope and pray that many others eyes are opened …..

Hillary Clinton is the only one who is capable of cleaning up this unbelievable mess Bush and the Republicans have made of our country and financial well being .. BUSH isnt finished spending either ..
Hes asking for millions and millions for FOREIGN FOOD AID , which could be spent here in the GULF COAST / NEW ORLEANS area for the victims of KATRINA , and if thats not enough hes asking for 80 billion dollars MORE for his OIL WAR he has SPENT somewhere near 1 TRILLION so far …Why does he love spending our tax money in foreign countries , it doesnt make sense when so many Americans need their country ..
Barack is Bush is McCain ….

Hillary Clinton

Wendy   May 3rd, 2008 9:34 pm ET

Cowboy Jack- Obama wasn't expected to win Guam by a 2 figure digit. Hillary was but she couldn't pull it out. Hillary and Bill will not vacation there anymore, because they did not let Billary win. Obama won and did even show his face, but Hillary and Bill stop by to say vote for Hillary okay.

Wow!   May 3rd, 2008 9:28 pm ET

CNN, kindly start magnifying the positive things that are happening!

Obama won Guam with the number of perfection :-). This is how you win the elections! Wuhuuuu..thank you to the 7 people who voted for Obama!

Phil   May 3rd, 2008 9:25 pm ET

Hey, folks, you all do realize that those 7 votes means 1 extra superdelegate (Pilar Lujan), right? Mr. Lujan pledged to cast his superdelegate vote to the Guamanian popular vote winner.

Sooo… that's +3 superdelegates from Guam for Obama, 1 for Clinton.

And you also know that 1 superdelegate = aproximately 25,000 voters, right?

Thank you, Guam!

concerned   May 3rd, 2008 9:17 pm ET

ARE YOU ALL NUTS

7 VOTES….7 POINTS

WHAT THE HELL IS THE DIFFERENCE A WIN IS A WIN

YOU ALL BETTER WAIT TILL THE BALLOTS ARE VARIFIED BEFORE YOUR LAME BRAINS GO INTO REVERSE.

THEY DO CHECK THE VOTES WHEN ITS THIS CLOSE BUT IF YOU ALL WERE AS SMART AS YOU THINK SILENCE WOULD BE THE KEY WORD HERE

JSS   May 3rd, 2008 9:17 pm ET

OH, REMEMBER TEXAS. OBAMA ACTUALLY WON TEXAS - HE GOT MORE DELEGATES. TO ALL THOSE CLINTON SUPPORTERS WHO ARE ACTING LIKE 10 YEAR OLDS AND MAKING FUN OF OBAMA'S WIN IN GUAM, YOU MIGHT WANT TO REMEMBER THE "BLOW" OUT CLINTON HAD IN TEXAS. IT IS CLEAR NOW THAT THE ONLY WAY CLINTON CAN WIN IS IF SHE CHEATS - AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, NOTHING IS BELOW HER. JUST THE KIND OF PRESIDENT WE WANT RIGHT? OH, EXCUSE ME, WE ALREADY HAVE ONE LIKE THAT NOW, WHY NOT JUST KEEP HIM.

rose   May 3rd, 2008 9:16 pm ET

Is that 7 points or 7 votes? Come on a little accuracy here. Usually we hear it in points. If it's seven votes I would expect a recount.

sarah   May 3rd, 2008 9:14 pm ET

I don't usually fall into the stereo-typing of either candidates supporters (both have some doozies) but today some of the Obama supporters are showing how delusional they really are. Apparently the wanted to accuse CNN of biased reporting so badly that they did not even bother to read the article. 7% or 7 votes? The article clearly states 7 votes 50.1%-49.9%. I guess that this isn't Baracks "educated" supporters commenting today.

angelina st paul mn   May 3rd, 2008 9:12 pm ET

I would encourage everyone to ALWAYS go to each state's official website and get the numbers there,
CNN will always minimize numbers for Obama and
CNN will always rounnd and give more numbers to billary

so do your ownchekcing
the same for Paul vs. Cllinton

you can google that _ or California Courts, it is public so CNN can not say it ismade up, or wahtever like they do with everythinhg
and if yu have not notice CNN is the only channel talkinga about the wright story THE ONLY place, they still have it as story number one as onegoogles cnn and then top story in the ticker sayin g that Obama is loosing ground even so he got 5 \super delgates won Guam, and people keep endorsing hm
CNN is clearly Clinton National News but they want to be Royal CNN once the king and queen take the throne back (by lies, fraud and force, their style)

Brian   May 3rd, 2008 9:11 pm ET

If she can't win Guam how can she win in November?

allen Sutton   May 3rd, 2008 9:10 pm ET

All you Hillary supporters that are claiming that BO was supposed to blow Hillary out is lying… It was supposed to be a close contest as it was, stop trying to minimalize another Hillary lost. If she had won, we wouldn't be hearing the Guam is unimportant and only 7 votes arguements!

He added to his delegate lead and added to his state lead, and added to his popular vote lead, that is all that matters. Hillary will not be the nominee without going against party rules which would destroy the party and SD won't do that!

So Hillary supporters get in line and support Obama…better now than later…Hillary WILL NOT WIN!

lol   May 3rd, 2008 9:08 pm ET

he outspent hillary as usual, and had his paid workers on the ground, and he won her by 7 votes, doesn't compare to her big win in PA. he is sinking fast in the polls. drop out obama! hillary 08

What happened to Hillary's double digit lead in PA ( After all, that's her ancestral home). OBAMA DID WIN TEXAS

Thanks to Guam. A win is a win!
Shame on CNN for not highlighting Obama's win. Where is the yellow highlighter on Obama's win CNN??? Shame on you CNN.

Me2   May 3rd, 2008 8:59 pm ET

Stupid people, 7 votes or 7 precincts doesnt mean 7 people. It can be 7000 or 70000

Venus   May 3rd, 2008 8:54 pm ET

Thank you Guam! We love the 7-votes you gave Obama!

Better to have a win with 7-votes over Hillary than to let Hillary have a win with 7-votes!

Even if Obama loses the rest of the states in the primary - she will have to win by 69%!

So - the crunch isn't on Obama - it's on Hillary!

Obama Supporter   May 3rd, 2008 8:54 pm ET

This wasn't actually a caucus, it was a primary but they kept "caucus" as a name, i agree that a 7 votes victory isn't a landslide, but it's no one other than Hillary who said that a win is a win, Bush won by 500 votes, the important thing is that he ended up at 1600 Pennsylvania Av. so Clinton might lose the election by 7 votes, but she lost, there is no prize for close to 1st place.
PS: there was a large turnout in elderly voters in Dededo, and please Mark if you're running for president you have to be an elitist, if you don't think you're the best, then i don't think you should be running for the highest office in the free world

Martin from Los Angeles   May 3rd, 2008 8:50 pm ET

FYI - Guam is a caucus territory so I don't know how many actual votes a win by 7 means. In any event, irrelevant! Obama won!

Michelle   May 3rd, 2008 8:49 pm ET

You guys…it was 7 VOTES.

It is not a mistake in the headline.

DEB   May 3rd, 2008 8:48 pm ET

I want to know how could Obama go from winning by 7% WITH 95% reporting to winning 50%-50% and by 7 votes. CNN, why did you take this off of the screen for more than 2 hours and came back with this mess. I'm sorry, I DON"T BELIEVE THIS MESS! I SMELL SOMETHING!

chris   May 3rd, 2008 8:46 pm ET

cunning obama is praying 7 votes into .. 7 points .. sad to see those dumb obama fans still believed in trinity liberal theory teaching.. 7 votes r 7 pontssss? are all obama supporters belonged to black teaching too.. lol

OO   May 3rd, 2008 8:45 pm ET

Great win for Obama. Especially since Clinton tried to pander to voters in Guam by promising them the right to vote in general election. What individual would not like that opportunity? I'm not saying they should not be given that opportunity, but do you really think Clinton is`thinking about the best interest of the Guamnians ?

aham   May 3rd, 2008 8:45 pm ET

CLINTON NEWS NETWORK, its 7 % NOT 7 VOTES IDIOTS.

You could at least try to conceal your bias for CLINTON a little better, I know this race has gone on too long, but lets not get carried away, and not even bother to edit articles before posting them.

LOOSING CREDIBILITY, AND HAVE OFFIFCIALLY LOST A SUBSCRIBER TO YOUR TIMES MAGAZINE.

Mark Stewart   May 3rd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

Obama finished with 2,264 votes to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s 2,257 votes – a 7-point difference. Obama never trailed from the first vote count on.

Here's the takes, Winner first:
Ordot (37-18), Maina (19-22), Inarajan (151-87), Asan (46-33), Chalan Pago (55-87), Santa Rita (87-73), Mongmong (102-81), Hagatna (28-29), Barrigada (158-166), Merizo (36-33), Piti (49-51), Sinajana (131-89), Agana (108-105), Mangilao (194-155), Tamuning (192-193), Umatac (27-24), Talafofo (76-52), Yigo (224-211), Yona (104-98), Agat (127-141), Dededo (509-313).

Dededo is the most populous village of the American island of Guam.
According to the U.S. census bureau estimates, Dededo's population was 46,000 in 2004. The 2007 population estimate for Guam is 173,456. This caucus vote involved 2.6% of the American Island of Guam.

Obama won 14 of 21 districts. Most districts that were won by Clinton were by small margins, excepting Dededo, where most of Guam's elementary schools (5) are located. Evidentally, the cultures of deprivation and poverty favour elittist leadership, something that human beings have known for thousands of years.

Charlotte   May 3rd, 2008 8:24 pm ET

This is just going to cause the delegate to ponder why he only won by 7 votes when he should have won by double digits? They have to know Rev. Wright will play into the general election big time. No more caucuses, little private box where you won't be labled a racist if you don't like Obama. I'm sure the Obamas will say he lost because he was black. He will lose because he sat around listening to anti-american sermons for 20 years and then lied about even hearing them. Threw his grandmother under the bus, then threw Uncle Wright under the bus when it became politically necessary. Missed 40% of the US Senate votes including the one about Iran. Never held a meeting on Afghanastan in over 15 months of being the chairman of the committee on Al qaeda in Afghanastan. A real go getter this Obama. I can see the great changes he would make..NOT

Darryl   May 3rd, 2008 8:24 pm ET

A win is A Win if Obama won by 100. It would still be the same.

She did get all the the nice people of Guam with her lies. She now want to give them voting rights?

Judy jones   May 3rd, 2008 8:21 pm ET

Ok CNN, get of the Rev Wright bandwaggon.Let's let Barack Obama get on with the America's problems. Yes 7 votes makes a win. Go focus on all the Hillary Clintons lies and deceits. You have never heard Barack throw Whitewater,Black panthers, Bills affair and impeachment in her face. He is the good guy for the job.

Lou from Houston, Tx.   May 3rd, 2008 8:20 pm ET

Just in case CNN happens to read this comment, I want you to know that I'm a big fan of your network. But I've been disappointed lately at the apparent biased headline reports about Obama. Lighten up will ya?

A win is a win. There was no emphasis on HillBill's win in Pennsylvania…BY 9 POINTS instead of the CNN-reported 10 points. He wins another victory but by 7 votes or was it really by 7 points CNN??? Did you… "mis-report"? Whatever…..a win is a win!!!

I still love ya CNN.

All I can say, Moveon, daily Kos, huffington didn't work in Guam. Obama machine for caucus drowned in the pacific ……LMAO!!!

Obambi's cult followers was saying, their leader will get all the delegates. I be darn! He only won by 7 votes in spite of the FACT the governor of Guam endorsed him.

Obambi!!!!! Yo bro! The natives are gettin' restless, they want to put you in a huge cauldron and cook ya!!

Even a small island in the pacific CAN SMELL THE STENCH OF OBAMBI FROM THE MAINLAND……….THAT'S BAD NEWS!!!!!

HE WON BY 6 POINTS NOT 7 VOTES!!!!! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT CNN!!! CLINTON'S 48% TO OBAMA'S 53%!!! THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO MADE THAT DIFFERENCE!!!

David, Silver Spring MD   May 3rd, 2008 8:10 pm ET

Hey Paulo, what would you be saying if Clinton won by seven votes? Where's her momentum? Just days ago everyone thought Clinton had a lock on Guam.

You say you can't fool everybody all the time, but it looks like she can fool you as long as she wants. Guess you're excited about her promised gas tax pander, eh?

STOP THE MADDNESS!!!!   May 3rd, 2008 8:09 pm ET

HEY!!!!!!
LIKE THE CLINTONS SAID A WIN IS A WIN!!!!!

WAY TO GO GUAM, THAT'S FOR HAVING 7 MORE SMARTER VOTERS FOR OBAMA THAN HILLARY HAD!! I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS ONLY ONE, YOU DID GOOD!! PA. COULD LEARN FROM YA!!

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!……..

Lou   May 3rd, 2008 8:07 pm ET

Misleading headling!!!! He won by over 200 votes……don't think a 6% difference is really a squeaker!!!!!

Katy7540   May 3rd, 2008 8:05 pm ET

7% or 7 votes, they each get 2 delegates. 5 additional super delegates will choose who they'll endorse.

The media is owned by corporations who also happen to run our government, thats why we are constantly being distracted with non-issues.
If Americans want to end the war, and change the economy, then you had better start supporting Obama, because Clinton is "one of them," and McCain is filthy rich, he doesn't care about middle income people, let alone the poor, and we'll be at war for the next 100 years or until Iran drops a nuclear bomb on us, whichever comes first.

Obama now has 31 wins to Clinton's 15, and of course, leads by # of popular votes.

Swiss in Canada   May 3rd, 2008 8:04 pm ET

So Clinton wins PE by 9,4 votes????

Steve   May 3rd, 2008 8:04 pm ET

CNN = Clinton News Network?! All you Obama supporters have only been saying this lately because finally the media has, to some extent, decided to start picking on Obama, too.

Everyone knows of the anti-Clinton bias that pervaded the media just a month ago. Someone has to hold Mr. Obama accountable. While I don't expect a corporate news outlet to be perfect in that regard, I don't expect them to so blatantly support one candidate, as CNN had done with Obama previously. It's a welcome change - to borrow Fox News's terminology, "fair and balanced" nitpicking on the part of the newsmedia.

Soooooo MANY lies…
GO HILLARY!!!!
Seeing that BO has won other caucuses by 60-70%……THIS IS A GREAT MOMENTUM BOOSTER FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!! ALSO, GUAM IS NEAR THE PHILLIPINES……..HE SHOULD HAVE HANDILY WON THIS CAUCUS!!!
YAY, GO HILLARY!!!!!!! SHE IS CLEARLY GAINING THE MOMENTUM!!!!!

BTW…Obama supporters who are getting really desperate….The guy/chick who doctored the "War Room" video better get a really good lawyer….:) I really would be worried if I were you!

Hillary will NEVER get elected President. If the super delegates choose Hillary over Barack even though he has more elected delegates, then the Democratic Party will be split for decades to come. Both Bill and Hillary cannot be trusted. Bill stared at us in the eyes and flatly lied that “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, M. L….” As for Hillary, she made up the Bosnia “sniper story” and kept telling it until she got caught. Also, why did Bill and Hillary remain married? Not for love for sure. Hillary criticized Barack for not leaving his church. Fair enough, but why did Hillary stay with Bill who humiliated her for decades, sleeping with all kinds of women? We know that over 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce for various reasons. Most women in Hillary’s case (with Bill’s perpetual public womanizing) would have left.

Tough Luck, Pinocchigoldilocks!   May 3rd, 2008 8:03 pm ET

If Hillary had won by 7 votes, she would have called it a double-digit victory.

The most important count really is how many more votes Mr. Obama will need to get to the magic number os 2024.

Step up to the plate IN and NC. Lets do this for the democratic party.

Tom Slick   May 3rd, 2008 8:02 pm ET

Yes, another win for the honest one!

Why doesn't anybody talk about the oil in Iraq! The U.S.gov. should take it and use the money to pay for the war and put the oil into U.S. This would lower the price of oil in half. This would shock the economy and move us out of recession!

Hillary, you lost so it's time you drop out, you old bat.

KC   May 3rd, 2008 8:00 pm ET

here is the story for you all Clinton lovers. Bill Clinton came to Guam in 1992 (before his general election) and promised us that he will make a change to our voting system such that territorial votes will count in the general election. After 8 years of his service, he has absolutely done none of that and our votes still do not count in the general election. That's just one of the promises he made to us then. Now onto Hillary Clinton. She claimed that her husband has made promises to us and he acted on them. This is total BS.
Onto another part, the long this goes for Democrats, the more momentum and advantage is for McCain. If McCain did win the general election in November, Hillary Clinton will be the one to blame for making the Democrats lose.

K   May 3rd, 2008 7:56 pm ET

Obama was predicted to win big in Guam. Guess this proves his rock star appeal is down the toilet. America has woken up from the infatution and finally wants real solutions. I give Obama a fair chance but all he does is whine about attacks, attack other people's plans without giving any plan of his own, and say the same thing over and over about old politics while he deploys the same tactics behind the scenes. At least Hillary is trying to propose some type of immediate relief along with long term solutions that he has also copied. If you think Americans will drive more just b/c the gas tax is taken away, then you obviously think Americans are stupid and you should not be leading this country.

Jacob   May 3rd, 2008 7:56 pm ET

2,264 votes to 2,257 votes. Learn your math Obama Supporters. That's 7 votes not 7 points. This changes nothing. They'll both get 2 delegates each. However, come November Guam doesn't vote. Might as well give Iraq some delegates.

Concerned Citizen….Obama had 2264 votes, Hillary had 2257 votes.
thats 7 votes. or less the 2%. (2% would be 9 votes)

Not 7 points. CNN is exactly right and if you think CNN favors Hillary, you arn't paying attention.

Oh that's right, Im an uneducated Hillary supporter and it is you thats the well educated obama supporter..

Why couldn't Clinton close the deal in Guam? Run with it now.

Sally - Baltimore   May 3rd, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Okay, not a big state, not a big delegate yield, but it still makes me happy. I have no idea how many people in Guam get cable news, but that may be a healthy thing.

I decided some time ago to make my decision about the candidates based on what they say and not what their acquaintances or the media et al. say, no matter how many times they say it. Based only on his speeches and public appearances, I have come to believe strongly that Obama’s sense of purpose and way of seeing the world will invigorate our sense of purpose as a nation and make us feel proud of our country again. Obama can lead the nation to a finer, higher expression of its nature, as well as dispelling conflict between factions in this country. He would achieve this by inspiring people to rise above their differences to fulfill a nobler ideal.

. Obama understands the American consciousness and can speak to Americans in a way that resonates at a very deep level of understanding. He has a knack for diverting attention to what’s really at stake and to elevate our vision to loftier goals. He respects the intelligence of the voter by speaking the truth, even when a distorted pacification (like the summer gas tax relief) might sell better. That takes courage.

He has both the fire to inspire and the pragmatism and courage to change the very nature of our government. I truly believe that he will put the needs, will, and interests of the people over those of the power elite and wealthy lobbyists for health care, oil, military suppliers

He has a universal appeal because of the blending of name, racial background, multi-cultural upbringing, and diverse education. This results in a person who captures the hope of the future for a multi-cultural world citizenry living in peace and unity.

The biggest key to his success is the will of the people. If we stay focused on what really matters, sort through the hype and distortions (and encourage others to do the same) -to see who he is and where he stands on the issues…. we will be part of the force that guides and supports him in the successful transformation of our country. There is so much at stake. I respect him more every day. He has weathered the recent storms gracefully and without leaving the high road. I pray that the voters in the next primaries will keep their best interest in mind and that of the country, and not be diverted by distortions and propaganda. Go Guam!!

spinWatcher   May 3rd, 2008 7:53 pm ET

C'mon CNN
7% not 7 votes.

Way to keep it looking like a horse race.

Clinton and the media are in cahoots in that they both need this democratic race look much closer than it actually is. Hillary is very smart and has been cleverly exploiting the media's need for a story (a horse race when there really isn't one). I'd vote for her if she weren't so morally and ethically corrupt.

Paulo   May 3rd, 2008 7:52 pm ET

Seven votes?
LOLOL
Where are those days when Obama would get 70% of the votes?

And seven votes does not look like a win to me. Both delegates are split even. Obama's momentum is gone… and the worse about it is that his momentum was finished by Obama himself. You can fool some people all the time… but you cannot fool everybody all the time.

Obama wins Guam by seven votes. He should have won big but people are getting wise to his schemes.

This is a very sad win as Obama spent the money and was the only candidate that had an office and staff on Guam.

He won by only seven votes. People are beginning to realize that he is an elitist and a fade.

Here is the address of his Guam office from his website:Hagåtña Office
101 Chalan Santo Papa, Ste. 102
Hagåtña, GU 96910

And why is there a media blackout on the Paul v Clinton suit? At this point it must be seen as determinedly intentional. There's something very, very wrong going on here and I fear that Obama is going to be robbed of the nomination somehow. If so, there will be anarchy in the streets and I'll be in the thick of it.

Peter   May 3rd, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Well, actually the 7 counts means one extra (possibly two) delegate (super) to Obama (if this is the final result). Guam also voted for chairman and vicechairman. The winner from what i could see is
Pilar Lujan and Jaime Paulino. Paulino has endorsed Obama and Lujan will endorse the winner. This is 2 superdelegates, one goes to Obama and one to the winner (which is likely to be Obama). In addition to this one super is appointed, they had 2 candidates which both had endorsed Obama.

Guam has 5 supers in total. 1 has allready chosen Clinton, one is undecided and the last three wasn`t ready as of today. most likey ALL three supers will go to Obama.

So even though the race was tight and pledged ended 2-2, Obama is likely to net 3 delegates from Guam which actually is significant.

Clayshawn   May 3rd, 2008 7:50 pm ET

The difference between his "win" is that he was supposed to TROUNCE her in a caucus. 7 votes is a joke of a win…

Honest Abe   May 3rd, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Does anyone else find it odd that:
*with 95% of the votes in it was 53%-Obama to 47% Clinton
*with 100% of the votes in it was 50%-50% ?
*CNN always predicts the outcome with less than 10% of the votes in, but in Guam they couldn't (even when 95% of the votes were already in).
*CNN and other news networks not talking about anything negative about Clinton.
*We are supposed to believe that there is a strong connection between rev. wright and Obama —–BUT———– there isn't a strong connection between Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton!

STUPIDITY FROM THE NETWORKS AND CLINTONS - GET OVER YOUR BIASES AND MOVE ON!

Alfreda D. Odom   May 3rd, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Congratulations to Senator Obama! The votes are in and the polls are closed, there is no need for a recount; Senator Obama has won Guam, just like he will win in Indiana and in North Carolina. Let's face it, Senator Obama is the better candidate; he brings youth, education, intelligence, and he sincerely believe these United States are ready for change, from the bottom up. Listen to him, give him the opportunity to make good on his campaign, this country gave President George Bush eight years. His presidency have the country in a war, that we should have never entered, that have taken over 4,000 lives, gas prices are skyrocketing each and every week, homes are being lost to foreclosures, jobs are being lost, and food prices are outrageously high. Vote for Senator Obama, "Yes We Can".

You folks is cracking me up…..Bill Clinton just had interview with Guam radio supporting Hillary, in fact Hillary is the ONLY senator supporting reperation for war for Guam survivors of WW2. Obama sent 4 people in Hawaii and won by 7 votes..Delegates are split 50-50..hahahahahah!

So, for all you Obamaniacs who cried "7 points, not 7 votes," heres the real story:

"With ALL 21 precincts reporting, Obama finished with 2,264 votes, or 50.1 percent. Sen. Hillary Clinton got 2,257 votes, or 49.9 percent."

It really is just 7 votes. So much for "making it clear for the superdelegates". Ha ha ha ha ha. You Obama kool-aid drinkers are soooooo funny (and kind of filled with a lot of anger, if you read enough posts ).

Good luck imploding in November!

CNN is being Pro-Hillary so that she can win on Tuesday to keep the primary going in other for them (CNN) to have things to report on.

Obama wins by 7 points, NOT by 7 votes.

Anyway, CNN and the rest of the media never right on Poll, when Obama fully win next Tuesday , he will be the last one laughing as well as the rest ofr America.

For over a week, CNN keeps The Wright LOGO at the top od the Politics Home Page to remind people about Wright issue. I thinks Hillary's supporter gave the big money to do it.

I agree that CNN continues to twist words against Obama, from Lou Dobbs saying Obama called struggling white Americans red necks, as he acted as though he couldn't find the right words, to the network saying Obama won by 7 votes in Guam. Nobody can beat up this pathetic network for not choosing words incorrectly, but they'll jump all over a candidate and spin it into meaningless headlines for weeks as they promote themselves as a "News" network to America.

Fox news and CNN are working overtime to keep Hillary in this race. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are fighting with the ultra right Jewish community to push Hillary into office! As long as there is a war to fight, and a country to force our beliefs on, people like Hillary will succeed! I am an independent voter that voted for Ross Perot, and Ronald Reagan, and even Bill Clinton once. But I am an independent that understands that we impeached the Clinton's once! That Hillary and Bill have a very dark pas,. darker than Obama's skin. Remember America that Obama is half white too! If anybody can unite this country it is a man that grew up with black skin in a white family. His identity was a issue for him all his life! He knows first hand why we need to put racism behind us once and for all! Just listen to the children of this new world we live in, they have no clue what the sixties were like! NONE of them are racist unless their parents taught them to hate! CNN and Fox are doing their best to keep Hillary in this! She and her old Washington friends are going to try and rob this nation of this great opportunity to unite this country. Turn on CNN right now and they have nothing on Guam, they are showing PA results.

However this plays out, in years and elections to come, occasions will arise when he pundits will say. "it's Guam all over again!"

Its wonderfull! Jack Cafferty can on Monday ask "why did Clinton lose by 7 votes" and Gloria, Jeff and Martin can chime in and say that it just goes to prove that Clinton does not have any support and should get out now. This was a election that Obama was supposed to win 60 to 40, but "hello" its seven votes. Maybe Cliinton should ask for a recount? Obama can not win the general election. He has hanging his neck, Wrightgate, Rezkogate, Ayersgateand Bittergate, with more to be added on in the future. Wize up and vote for Hillary!

7 votes… What's that's supposed to imply? Why couldn't you just say that he won - period. You've never mentioned vote numbers before.

CNN is going so low. The world knows what your intentions are, but Obama will rise above the Biased media. You purposely stated 7 votes instead of 7 points or 7 % to manipulate the result. Shame on CNN, FOX & MSNBC

Now what kind of a title is this for a lead story. CNN you have got to come up. I really enjoyed CNN Election Center but now, I'm being turnoffed. Why not just say, Obama wins Guam. Why the mention in the title…by 7 points. This is so typical of the media. Still no news of Peter Paul, or the plant in Indiana that she and her husband had shipped to China. Where is that information? Isn't the news media supposed to report the news so that citizens can make informed decisions? CNN, I don't want to believe that you have become just another biased sensational news service.

Talk about a close race..lol

Even the Kentucky Derby wasn't this close. In the strangest of circumstances that could only bring about the closest of races, Hillary Rodham Clinton finished with 49.9% of the vote of the Guam Democratic Caucus, just 7 votes shy of Barack Obama's total of 50.1%. While Obama led for the vast majority of the night's tallying, Clinton needed a strong finish in the municipality of Dededo, Guam's most populous village. And she did - gaining 61% of the 822 votes counted by the Democratic Party of Guam.

Note: these are unofficial, uncertified results as tabulated by the Democratic Party of Guam. The DPG also noted a high number of spoiled ballots in Dededo.

Hey CNN, first of all it's not 7 votes it's 7 points ahead, change your headlines
Second of all, do your job by reporting this :
MAY 3, 2008

OK Guam Superdelegates. Now ,that you know what HRC thinks of Guam's importance, and you know what your constituents think, come on over to the Obama Team!! There's plenty of room for you.

CNN has not been fair to Senator Obama. If it was Senator Clinton by 7 votes they would have blasted it all over their web site and by the way, they need to take Rev Wriights picture down, he is not running for President. He is old news that you can't use! A win is a win, that is what Senator Clinton says and now the winning streak is cranking back up and the motor is in full force, yes we can! We can make a difference regardless of CNN, MSNBC,ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS!

By the way Sen Clinton's horse "Belle" did not win today at the Kentucky Derby. Remember the race is not given to swift nor to the strong but he that endures to the END!!
