A 7 VOTE victory in Guam is significant but a 9-point win in Penn is nothing? Stop drinking the koolaid.

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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 ?

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!

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!

Obama Supporter
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
