From

(CNN) – The outcome of the Guam Democratic presidential caucuses will come down to the votes of one village, Dededo, the territory's largest voting precinct.

With 20 of 21 precincts reporting, Barack Obama leads the contest with 1,951 votes (52.7 percent), compared to 1,748 votes (47.2 percent) for Hillary Clinton.

Roughly 1,400 votes remain to be tallied in Dededo, about 27 percent of all votes cast in this party-run primary.

At stake are Guam's four pledged delegate votes, which will be allocated to the candidates in proportion to the percentage of the vote won once all the votes are counted.

Go Obama. Congrats on Gaum. A win is a win. Isn't that what Billary says? Why are people still voting for her when they know how she has lied over and over. She is so very phony. Come on Clinton supporters, wake up.

NOBAMA   May 3rd, 2008 7:54 pm ET

FOR THE RECORD HE WON IN GUAM BY SEVEN VOTERS , HARDLY A HUGE WIN !!! THE OBAMA MACHINE IS FALLING APART AND N.C. AND INDIANA WILL PROVE IT !!!!

WE NEED ANOTHER CLINTON ADMINISTRATION THAT WILL HELP THIS NATION PROSPER LIKE THE FIRST CLINTON ADMINISTRATION DID

Michael   May 3rd, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Whining Obama,

There is no spin to be made. Let's call it just as it is! I can't speak for anyone else, but I would welcome a one (1) point win in NC — eaking it out is just fine with me. Hillary can have Indiana if that would be necessary.

Remember, the Superdelegates just want to see him WIN AGAIN to resume moving in his direction, so I say … LET IT BEGIN! :-)

Bridgette - PA   May 3rd, 2008 7:50 pm ET

I am very glad that Barack won Guam. However, why isn't CNN duscussing the Paul vs Clinton case? My, my, my….it looks like CNN is being bias again. CNN keeps Rev. Wright front and center. Come on, let's talk abount Monica, Jennifer (how many more?), Whitewater, Paul vs Clinton. What has happened to the most trustworthy news center? CNN, if you don't want to discuss the Clinton's past, at least discuss their "present" regarding Paul vs. Clinton!

Sophia33   May 3rd, 2008 7:43 pm ET

My comment was incorrect. CNN initially had the wrong numbers up for Guam. Obama did win, but it was NOT by 600,000 votes. It looks like they had the numbers for another primary up.

steve dumford, Scotts valley ca.   May 3rd, 2008 7:39 pm ET

OK, OK. I wont downplay Guam just because Obama won. A win by seven votes is a win, hands down. Even in a caucus state which have always favored Obamas speechifiying. Go Hillary. We don't need a rock star in the White House. We need a problem solver. Oh, by the way, the good Rev. Wright said that Obama told him in April of 2007 that he would probably end up having to distance himself from him. But still named him a spiritual advisor to his campaign. Yet when all the Wright stuff came to light Obama "Was not in the pews"Is this what all the obamamaniacs mean when they call him truthful? Then he couldn't disown him anymore than he could disown his white grandmother. Then he is all the sudden apalled. In the "apalled" speech he looked like a whipped dog. Don't want a whipped dog as my President.

MD   May 3rd, 2008 7:37 pm ET

CNN's headline "obama wins by 7 votes" is misleading. Obama won by 7 percentage POINTS.

How amazing it is that CNN should be engaged in this type of misleading news reporting after backing Obama for over a year.

Money talks.

Anonymous   May 3rd, 2008 7:34 pm ET

big deal
Obama wins the island by only 7 votes

It's a tie folks– that's all it is–and it continues to show how Obama can't put Hillary away even when he is favored as he was on the island– he wins by 7 votes

The better and stronger candidate is Hillary– it's so obvious even a child could see it– it's a good thing for Obama that all of this negative press came out at the end of the voting season– for if it didn't he wouldn't even be in the race

It's time for obama to get out of the race for the good of the country and the party

Jim T   May 3rd, 2008 7:33 pm ET

obama won guam, but clinton and her campaign will play that down as usual saying that ONLY the big swing states matter and those big states are what wins the white house, rest of the united states dont matter. those big states are still gonna vote for obama. typical clinton idiocy

WHATTHEPEOPLEWANT   May 3rd, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Unbelievable, if Hillary had won, CNN would stil be talking about it. There would be fireworks, balloons and you guys would stating that that Bat has the momentum. But Obama wins and you state that he only won by 7 votes. Wow, You are so transparent.

wed   May 3rd, 2008 7:26 pm ET

CNN, we demand that you change that Headline. 7% not 7 votes in your headline of Obama winning Guam.

Chris Brown   May 3rd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Saying it twice doesn't make it true, Lisa of Hillaryland, nor does it make Guam a state.

Whether Obama wins Guam or not remains to be seen at this point, but is there any reason to be saying that a state (or terrritory) does not matter? I would think the point of the primary is to consider the voters' concerns in all the districts, large or small, east, west, north or south.

One interesting quote from Hillary Clinton from North Carolina, she claims she is ready to "work her heart out" for Obama if he is the nominee for President. I'm not sure I believe it but it will be amusing to see if she can keep one of her campaign promises.

Yours truly,

Chris Brown from Hamburg

P.S. You people in Guam sound like good plain folks.

ben w   May 3rd, 2008 7:11 pm ET

As Guam goes, so goes the nation.

Reverse colonization. Excellent.

ChicoSez   May 3rd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

something is wrong here. guam has 6000 people vote and they get 8 delegates. is this how the party thinks democracy works? if every state gets a delegate per thousand votes, then this would be fair. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense. What kind of proportional representation is this. where is the party leadership?

Sophia33   May 3rd, 2008 7:04 pm ET

CNN:

You just showed (albeit) briefly on your network that Obama won Guam by 10 percentage points which translated to a nearly 600,000 net gain for him. However, instead of showing that he won Guam as the cover story for your Web site, you have Rev. Wright on the front. Yes, you are the Clinton News Network.

Lonnie   May 3rd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Just watching Tom Foreman on the Racist Clinton News Network (CNN) and I can not understand why they are continuing the B___l s__t about Rev. Wright.

And what is Candy Crowley and Tom Foreman smoking? Hillary can not win and the super delegates will not run to her side. Are you people completely stupid ad CNN?

Outcome:

Guam, split
Indana, split
North Carolina, Barack by 8%
Kentucke, Montana, Oragon, Wset Virginia, Kentucky and super delegates, are Hillary's by 14%
Puerto rico, winner takes all, Hillary by 100%

Total:
Hillary 1998 delegates
Barack 2028 delegates, Game over, Bara\ck wins!!!

Come on Demecrates, Billary will lie to you just as Bill lied under oath, after all she has been conditioned to his way of life after living with him for the past 30 years.

Sharon Minnesota   May 3rd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Guam:

Clinton 55%
Obama 45%

voice of one   May 3rd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

What happen?? you got the Pennsylvaina totals up on the screen what happen to Guam, I guess Obama won and your so bias you can not put the results up with the check mark you alway put up when Hillary win a state. The Media need to stop this bull—- grow up I see little kids acting better then the grown ups on CNN.. CNN your sheet is hanging…New was to be impartial not impartial about how you talk and treat Senator Obama . You can give the exit count for 21 precencts, but for a state of more then 2 million votes you have the result in with Hillary on top and talking about that all night long.. CNN you need to give up the crap,,

MS.VOTER WAVELAND MS.   May 3rd, 2008 6:59 pm ET

WHATS UP WITH YOU PEOPLE? I'M LOOKING TO SEE WHO WON IN GUAM, AND YOU PEOPLE HAVE HILARY'S TOTALS UP THERE FROM PENN. DO YALL WANT HILIARY TO WIN SO BAD YALL ARE WILLING TO RUN HER WIN WHICH IS NOT THAT MANY OVER OBAMA'S WIN IN GUAM. AND KEEP PUTTING OBAMA DOWN I THOUGHT YOU PEOPLE WAS FAIR!!!!

kj from Canada   May 3rd, 2008 6:55 pm ET

The people of Guam choose not to become a state and gain their citizenship over 15 years ago, so no big deal.

Ilona Proud Canadian   May 3rd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Would someone please tell me what's wrong with this math?
cnn above article says that Dededo still has 1400 votes to be tallied, claiming this equals 27% of total Guam voters, ….roughly 3700 votes have already been counted this makes up 95% of total count….as reported on cnn TV, (above 1951 votes for Obama and 1748 for Clinton ) 27% plus 95% =?

PA (small town) for OBAMA   May 3rd, 2008 6:52 pm ET

CNN - why are you playing down Barack's win in Guam? How many times do we have to see Hillary in her same blue suit spewing the same lies in that same condescending voice?

We have all moved past Wright - why do you guys keep finding a way to inject him into this race right before Indiana and NC?

Step it up or I'll start watching FOX news.

Sam   May 3rd, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Way to go Obama! Guam can not be fool by the Clintons and did not count you out because of Rev. Wright like Fox News. they did not see you as a divisive person. I have been following you and your speeches for a long time now and you sound and act truely like a uniter and someone who care about people. You did not move out of the South side of Chicago, but stay there to support your community. this is symbolic of what we will have on a greater scale.

Rob BC Canada   May 3rd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

How strange that in the Guam primary CNN now use the decimal points to measure the percentages yet in the Pennsylvania primary 9.2 was just rounded up to 10 percent.Is Time Life and many other corporate giants that fearful of an Obama victory that they will spin the story anyway remotely sellable in order to stop this Obama nomination?

Sandra   May 3rd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

I agree cnn is now in the political room sitting down trying to decide how to spin Rev. Wright into the Guam election whether Obama or Hillary wins. I am really getting tired of hearing about Rev. Wright and unfair and unbalanced reporting from all the cable news channels. It is almost like they want to split the democratic party and then after the primaries and election in November they will spin a story about how much they played a part in electing our President in 2008. Wake up people or we will have another Bush in the White House if we keep giving them our ears and eyes!!!!!

kris   May 3rd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

you guys on CNN should be ashamed of yourself….why the heck are you showing PA result instead of GUAM??

President Obama   May 3rd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

I will no longer watch this "news" network. The fact that CNN does not report about this win in Guam for Obama–your're constant bashing of him and trying to discuss how she can "wrestle the nomination away from him". You (aside from Jack Cafferty) have lost my respect.
I will be glad when June comes and Obama is our nominee. I will be even more satisfied when you have to refer to him as President Obama and he finally gets the respect that he deserves.

AZ Joe   May 3rd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Yes, We can, Obama is winning Guam. and all the supers are lining up. Come on Edwards make the jump go for Obama now. Stop HIllary.

Jon, Somewhere, MI   May 3rd, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Wow, it looks like some people think unless CNN picks up pom-poms and starts saying "Gimme an 'O'" they've got a biased partisan vendetta against the junior senator from Illinois. Newsflash, it's not the media's job to cheerlead for Barack Obama. In fact, it is a disgrace that so many reporters have made their clear preference so obvious for him in their actual reportage. CNN has run a totally objective entry on the Guam results so everyone complaining of bias on CNN's part for this can kindly go suck an egg. If you want cheerleading, subscribe to an Obama blog.

Charlotte   May 3rd, 2008 6:33 pm ET

Hummm are they villages or precincts in Guam?

Rob   May 3rd, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Interesting how the Clinton spinners say that its the delegates that count in Guam since it will probably be even. By that standard, of course, Obama won Texas since he won more delegates. And Nevada as well.

Don't be fooled   May 3rd, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Guam should declare its independence from the U.S. because this is the most racist nation on the face of the earth! What I bet is that they won't dare steal this nomination from Obama. This country would probable burn if they did. It for sure never be the same! No more bushes and no more Clintons!

Bubba   May 3rd, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Anyone know the price of gasoline in Guam?

Peter   May 3rd, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Superdelegates in Guam is also elected today. Two of them are elected as a "couple", the leading "couple" consist of one who was endorsed Obama and one who will endorse the winner in Guam. In addition to this one super will be appointed and both candidates here are Obama supporters. If Obama wins Guam he will get 3 superdelegates event though the pledged will be 2-2, so a win here actually matters.

Jason   May 3rd, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Barack won 11 straight contests with his momentum, while Hillary can't even survive one.

Sorry, Hillary is not electable.

Awando   May 3rd, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Cnn is now showing its true colours, why not give Obama some credit after what him and his campaign has gone through, being attacked from left to right by whoever can throw anything, Why are you still hung up on "Rev. whatever his name is", those are not Senetor Obama's views and beleif and you all know it. Please be more democratic and stop showing all your biases, I know this email will never see the blogg but i hope someone reads it. The man is still a head regardless of all the attakcs, what do you truth or lies, Obama is winning in Guam, but HOOOOOOOOOOOO HE WAS EXPECTED TO WIN BIG, BECASUE HE GREW UP IN THE ISLANDS? What is up with that, Not to forget that many time I have heard the mention of black vote, latino vote, white vote, Hey what is the population of the US in general, and what is the population of African Americans, Latino and other minorities, people are voting for obama from all walks of life, get your statistics right and tell the Americans the truth, this is about the future not about the rich media moguls, it is about the american generation to come where you, I and many other will not be here to see, why can't we leave a better world beind and for once forget politics and tell America's future the truth. You know what., someone hight that all knows who the next US PRESIDENT WILL BE AND NOMATTER WHT ANYBODY TRIES TO DO WILL NOT CHANGE THAT
GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OBAMA 00000000008888888888888888

For all of you who sees the BIG PICTURE, Obama has real HEART, no matter how far they try to bury HIM, He refuses to go under. I got nothing but love for You.

Jub Jub   May 3rd, 2008 6:12 pm ET

All Hillary can do it seems like is whine about how she is entitled to the nomination and she needs to do it the coward way by depending on the superdelagates. I praise Obama for being the man of change

HUD   May 3rd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

So Rev . Wright is the only man in this country that speaks the truth.

Hillary 08   May 3rd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Ann T, are you kidding me? You wrote:

"I know Guam is not that significant in the "big" scheme of things, but I can see CNN is keeping it's usual low profile, due to the fact that Obama is winning."

Low profile??? There are like 50 articles in the ticker about Obama being in the lead in Guam.

You obamabots really have a distorted sense of reality!

Jay   May 3rd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

wait…I thought Nobama was going to BLOW Hillary away in Guam?

ya…right…….Bring on Indiana and NC!

Obama fans want Hillary to drop out because they are scared. They see the tide changing and the Hillary Train is the train to be on.

Jason   May 3rd, 2008 6:09 pm ET

If Hillary didn't win Guam with her "momentum", she's not electable.

LH   May 3rd, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Don't try that old trick of "Wag the Dog" to try and get off the subject of Kantor comments about Indiana in 1992 and is currently on her staff in 2008. This is a smarter generation. I am not being distracted by Hillary losing in Guam. You are showing he's winning Gaum but the largest territory voting precinct Dededo will decide the outcome and I am wonder at the last minute you will report Hillary won Guam. I going to see if you are going to post this.

unelectable   May 3rd, 2008 6:08 pm ET

What I find so humorous is that Obama has said what you guys have WANTED TO HEAR since he announced his presidency in Jan 2007.

He talks about hope and change as blanket SUPER pandering, preying on peoples dispair.

I watch Obama lovers accuse Clinton as the say anything do anything candidate with much BEMUSED laugther becuase Obama has done exactly that from the very start.

Until his past starts to catch up with him, and he aint uniting anything nor has he ever.

GUAM DON"T DISAPPOINT!   May 3rd, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Dededo - Don't disappoint. ELECT HILLARY!

Popular Votes Means Wins   May 3rd, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Hillary is FAKE!
Obama WILL TAKE!

Eyob Sete   May 3rd, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Just inch for your nomination….
Go Obama!!

Ridgeway   May 3rd, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Hey, maybe the Guamanians know the answer to this. What have either Hillary or Obama done in Congress to make a difference in your lives? Don't think too long or you'll all turn into McCain supporters.

Michael   May 3rd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Can someone answer a question for me? Why is everyone worried about the black vote if Obama doesnt get the nomination? Seems to me that the democratic party is in trouble no matter what.. If Clinton wins (no black votes) she has had very few anyway. If Obama wins (no hispanic votes) and he hasnt had many. Seems to me like pretty big trouble for both.

DAN   May 3rd, 2008 6:03 pm ET

This is basically a tie one way or the other, The surprise is how close Hillary is. Usually Obama does well in those kind of caucuses I guess the tide has turned for Hillary. Oh and this Peter Paul story is hog wash comming from the Obama campaign, there's nothing there at all, Obama nuts from the campaign of hope are getting desperate and silly. They should worry more about Rezko who might start talking and making deals with Fitzgerald about his deals with Obama to get less time in jail.

Joe Reg   May 3rd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

It is obvious that the results from Guam will change the status quo.

It is likely that Obama will get 2 or 3 delegates out of 4 and Hillary 1 or 2 out of 4. What has changed not much.

Only the momentum has shifted again.

Who gets the momentum now.

Former Republican for Obama   May 3rd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Obama wins guam? I agree, who cares.

Obama will win NC, and that's it. NC is the last big state to be one, bigger in population than indiana. It is clinton's last chance to close the population count, which it is clear judging by the polls that she will not do.

This race is over. It, in fact, was over in Feb., but she, for whatever reason, would not accept it. Foolishly, her supporters still do not accept it.

The superdelegates are not going to give the nomination to someone with less popular votes, less states won and, most important, less elected delegates. This would essencially be voting against democracy.

The super's were created only to intervene in extreame cases. This is not one. The people have clearly spoken, more states, more votes, more delegates. This fight is over.

This prolonged fight has only helped mcwar and the neocons who support him, hopefully the damage done can be overcome from now to November.

Rebecca   May 3rd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Hillary the fear monger. Fear, fear and more fear. Is this coming from the Republicans? No, it's coming from Hillary Clinton! She is manipulating on people's fears and ignorance. She knows exactly what she's doing. She going right after those Hill-Billys who are the most vulnerable and gullible. Bill and Hillary are two of the best "politicians" out there. They know how to pull the wool over people's eyes and have them believing a bunch of bull.

STOP THE MADDNESS!!!!   May 3rd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Wow even for these 4 delegates things are tense.

Come on Guam Obama is the man with the right plan besides Bill Clinton says caucuses don't count, but Obama loves all the voters he knows we all matter!!

Hermas   May 3rd, 2008 5:57 pm ET

Go Hillary, Go !!!

mike concerned democrate   May 3rd, 2008 5:57 pm ET

PEOPLE QUIT GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE SPIN !!

It is impossible for Hillary to beat Obama in the delegate count no matter whether she wins N. Carolina and every other primary left. Quit getting caught up in the spin - it's not whether she wins ( get a few more votes than Obama) in the few left, it's how many deleates one has. Get a grip —- good example — Hillary professes to have won Texas when in fact Obama came out with more delegates than Hillary in Texas (primary and caucus). So what did she win???? the measure is delegate counts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Joe Reg   May 3rd, 2008 5:56 pm ET

She said she will turn your water tap into wine if you vote for her!!!

But no vote can save her now, and that is why she is focusing on the superdelegates.

It's Obama 08. for a new America!!!

Dayahka   May 3rd, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Guam will be 50/50. Clinton was expected to win and might just squeak by with a win, but the delegate count will be split. What I can't understand is why anyone is still voting for Clinton because all of her ideas, everyone of them, are bad ideas. Surely voters should be able to tell the difference between sound ideas and insane ones?

Phil   May 3rd, 2008 5:52 pm ET

The people in Guam are very smart people. They've seen Hillary lie and do and say whatever needs to be said to get elected. They must also realize Rev. Wright is not running for President. What Wright said was strong but the truth hurts sometime.

If you're smart you will Barack the Vote in 08 and saved this nation from greed and corruption in our government.

Luc   May 3rd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

the road is clear for Obama 08

Darrell & Sue   May 3rd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

We thought the brief biographical coverage of Clinton and Obama last evening, May 2nd, was heavily biased in favor of Clinton in a very positive way. It showed her academic and policical accomplishments but omitted any negative comments while the Obama review hardly mentions his 10 year career teaching constitutinal law at Univerity of Chicago, his community organizing, and other accomplisments. Instead his close relationship IN THE PAST with Pastor Wright and long shots of Obama in Wright's church was an indication that that is who Obama is as a person. Whoever prepared these shetches was clearly biased toward Hilary Clinton. Fair journalism would not have portrayed these as fair representations of the candidates. No matter which candidate a persons supports, the CNN portrayal was not an accurate representation. We expect better.

KHR   May 3rd, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Guam doesn't really matter. Regardless of whether Clinton pulls this out, she probably won't, the delegates are already determined 2-2. The superdelegates that come of Guam will probably be 3-2 for Obama, based on the media there. So what?

The bigger picture is, after Obama wins in NC and hangs close in IN, Clinton will have 6 small contests left and will not be able to make up the difference in delegates, popular vote or states. It's over.

Charlotte, Marie and others, it sounds like you're still in the denial phase of accepting that your girl lost. It's over. Come to terms with it.

Rick OH   May 3rd, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Thank you, Caroline. Those of us old enough to remember your father, recall him with fondness. I've been involved in every election since 1972, and will continue to do. Sen. Obama is not the 're-incarnation' of JFK, but he displays the same energy, and dedication to bring people together.

Thanks for all you do!

KS - Des Moines   May 3rd, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Looks like Hillary supporters will still be in denial in January '09. When Obama is taking oath of office. They will still be shouting…"Hillary '08″ :}!

This is really funny :}! Hillary is behind in popular vote, states won, pledged delegates, electected super delegates and she and her supporters including CNN still think she is winning :}? Ifeel like I am in the twilight zone…where all the rules of what winning is are reversed :}! This is a perfect example of why people should try to get a little education…they might at least be able to do simple mathematics..

CNN–I know your candidate Hillary is losing but that is no reason not to give Obama supporters their voice…I feel you pain though but hang in there, it's for the good of the country :}}

Jona, Denver, CO   May 3rd, 2008 5:46 pm ET

I can't believe that all the Obama supporters don't show any respect for Hillary. I don't see any negative comments directed at Obama, though the Barack supporters seem to truly detest Hillary.

The funny thing is they attack Hillary for being negative, while being completely disrespectful themselves.

Can't we just respect eachother, let every vote count and all finally back whatever candidate gets nominated?

Oreo   May 3rd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

I guess we should just wait for the final results, although it appears Obama has won.

One thing still irks me: I can't seem to figure out why people still vote for Hilary Clinton. She lies to their faces and they completely ignore it. I guess its because she says exactly what they want to hear. Good politics, terrible personality. I would not want someone like this leading my country.

Delaware   May 3rd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Gas tax Holiday isn't. How are we going to fix our bridges America? Do we want the highway fund to get broke? I am sure America that you do not want the same thing that happen with the minesotta bridge to happen again. Believe me America, Hillary Clinton had said tax the gas company will pay for the gas tax this summe.America! It is a lye. Believe me America, if Exxon Mobile pay for the gas tax, America you will pay it back definetely. You know why America? Because Exxon Mobile is in business to make money not to lose money. America do not let this phony summer gas tax break fool you. America this is political manupilation. America this a way to win vote not a way to fix your problem. America we need energy dependency.

ktlin   May 3rd, 2008 5:38 pm ET

to Lorna NY: I know. But when I see them commenting on Rev Wright I change the channel. I can see bringing it up to begin with. But going on and on and on and on is ridiculous. Who would sit and listen to that? Even his opponents have nothing to gain by hearing it. it. We have heard it all and there is no there there! They need to move on. Maybe to what some experts say about gas prices and pandering.

Obama Nation   May 3rd, 2008 5:34 pm ET

Obama 08!!!!!!!

linda-Texas   May 3rd, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Posted by jujub: "Just think…if Hillary Clinton had not voted for the war, she would not have to work so hard to convince us she has great judgment."

In 2004 when he was running for the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama was asked how he would have voted had he actually been a U.S. Senator. His answer: "I don't know."
Also in 2004 Senator Obama said that he did not think there was "much difference" between himself and President Bush on the war.

Tom   May 3rd, 2008 5:31 pm ET

More votes, more delegates, and more contests. The sun is setting on the Clinton dynasty. Too bad so many of you are too stuck in the past to catch the green flash.

Cheers to Guam

Debbie   May 3rd, 2008 5:31 pm ET

I am a Republican who will vote for Barack Obama. NO way do I want to live under 4-8 years of Clintonism. He showed the American people he had no morals when he was Pres., I wonder what HC would do to get back at him?
GO BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PA_Hill-fan   May 3rd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Obama is not electable. If he is the nominee, democrats will lose the house, the senate, and the President too! If Hillary is nominated, democrats will certainly retain the congress, the senate, and most likely win the President too!

Paula in WI   May 3rd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

If the people are stupid enough to support a phoney like Hillary who consistantly lies to their face they will be sorry in November.Besides which,even if she won all the remaining states at 70% she still can't win.The superdelegates are not going to give it to her.This race is only being allowed to continue to register new voters and no other reason.Common sense.

Hate to tell you Hilary folks the early bad news…..but early polling in Indiana has Barack ahead in 3 significant counties…..so lets the hate begin….

OBAMA '08

Anita Marie   May 3rd, 2008 5:27 pm ET

You Hillary Fans are so funny.
Really.
Funny.

Jason Camp   May 3rd, 2008 5:27 pm ET

The ObamaRama doesn't like Hillary's gas tax reduction. But what is his plan? He has no plan—this is a man who voted "present" over 100 times. He has no conviction–he's just another politician who will move into the White House with all his cronies.

Al   May 3rd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

She has lost Guam! She will lose Indiana to the surprise of many and we all know she loses in North Carolina and Oregon.

What now ..John McCain. This isn't about the ramblings of an out of touch pastor…this is about whites wanting a white candidate at all cost, …sad, sad, America..

William (Seattle)   May 3rd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

HRC is done - this race is over…everyone know this.. What remains to be seen is exactly how much damage she's willing to do for her own ego's sake. Based on her behaviour so far, quite a bit. Shameful.

Jr   May 3rd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

The super delegates right now are 2-1 in favor of Clinton with 4 super votes uncommitted(2 delegates)… with a 2-2 in pledged… its 4-3 right now in favor of Clinton… That leaves any comination from HIllary taking 6-3 to Obama taking 5-4… Guess we will see soon enough..

Beverly Sublett   May 3rd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

I Can not believe that you and other news medias continue to dominate your air waves and web sites about Rev Wright your continued effort to destroy this man is very obvious. This needs to stop and put something else on people do not want to continue to see this any more. Stop This! Stop!

NotThisTimeinNY   May 3rd, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Clinton can't deliver on her promises!! She promised Buffalo NY 200,000 jobs if we elected her … she's been in and we've netted -30,000 jobs and another plant (American Axle - Tonawanda) announced it has to close!!! Multiply this love by the size of the country!!!

Barack "The Truth" Obama '08!!!

Susan MO   May 3rd, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Who is elitist and out of touch?

Hillary saying to Bill O'Reilly, "Rich people, God bless us. We deserve all the opportunities to make sure our country and our blessings continue until the next generation."

Formerly for Hillary, now….

Obama '08

M.S. Indiana   May 3rd, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Marie in California, please do some research, then you will understand why people vote for Obama and not Hillary or McCain… do bush clinton bush clinton sound so good in your ears ?? maybe we can find a few more bushes…

America want some thing new… Obama brings alot of new ideas.. Not just for the government but also for the people

S.M. remember Texas, HC won that state, but Obama came out with more delegates… try and twist that one

A concerced Citizen   May 3rd, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Why the Wright is front page on the ticker?

Jr   May 3rd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Woohooo… We are hearing Dededo will be one of Hillary's best districts due to the military personnel.. This is going to be a very close finish..

David from New York   May 3rd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Anyone know if the Dededo district is expected to go for Obama or Clinton? Thanks.

California Girl   May 3rd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

No matter what happens in Guam, Hillary is still our best choice as our next Commander in Chief. Hillary has incredible intelligence and phenominal experience to offer our Nation. She will stand up to whomever approaches her with bravery and courage. I want Hillary on my team. Obama does not have the qualifications to run our country at its most crucial time in history.

Hillary/Elizabeth Edwards 08

Sarah   May 3rd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

TO POSTER "TRUTH", CLINTON SUPPORTERS JUST LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHEN IT COMES TO CORRUPTION OF CLINTONS!!!!
OBAMA 08′

paula   May 3rd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Hillary should have ran republican, she was one in the beginning and now she is hiding herself as a democrat with republican values.
She would have given McCain a better run for the republican candidacy.

Alberto   May 3rd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

CNN, why not highlight Guam's map, at least, instead of rev. Wright's picture? Guam and its people deserves more than the man.

Obama 08   May 3rd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Amazing closing ad for Obama on nbc news site…How I admire this man's courage, honesty and ability to inspire. I hope he prevails because America can not solve anything with the old fighting ways represented by McCain and Clinton.

pam   May 3rd, 2008 5:19 pm ET

I am really sick of Hillary fans saying that Guam doesn't matter, caucuses don't matter, little states don't matter!!!!!!!

Even MI and FL did not matter, until she needed them.

The entire USA matters to Obama. That is ONE of the reasons he is winning!

I understand you women are ready for a female president, but do you really want Hillary as a role model for your daughters? Let's wait till there is a honest, respectful woman that is not COMPLETELY politically motivated but rather motivated by the people.

We just can't afford another POTUS that does not have EVERY persons best interests at heart, we can't.

Ezstreet   May 3rd, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Speaking of easy wins, Penn. was supposed ot be +20 for her……ahem +9 is a cause for celebration? No wonder she's losing all the superdelegates!

KPO'M   May 3rd, 2008 5:18 pm ET

I do recall a few weeks ago reading (perhaps on CNN or Politico) that Clinton was favored in Guam (some pundits already awarding a 3-1 delegate split). It appears that, at worst, Obama will tie Clinton in the popular vote, and could even pull off a 2.5-1.5 delegate split if the last precinct goes his way significantly. Given how much press Wyoming got (for about the same participation), this probably does deserve at least a little bit of attention, as it is some good news in what has obviously been a bad week for Obama.

Tyrone   May 3rd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

You folks really need to check the polls for yourself. Stop relying on someone else"s poll of polls, where they make the decision which polls to include in their "sample of the population"

Ezstreet   May 3rd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I see a win for Obama
No win for Hillary

Today is a good day
Hear the Obama crowd
Everyday for him is better

Tuesday will be the best day yet for Obama
And in a few short weeks, Dems will unite
No third Bush term this year
Keep hope alive!

NO TO HILLARY   May 3rd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

A win is a win!! wasn't that the Clintonite mantra when talking about PA? I can't believe you Clinton supporters would want to change something mid race. SURPRISE SURPRISE

J.Onofre -CA   May 3rd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I'd love to see how Clinton supporters downplay Guam when Obama wins.

Rita West Coast   May 3rd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I saw the CNN life story of both Hillary and Obama last night, and there's nothing in Obama's past that could or has prepared him for such an important position to our country, it's people, our foreign relations, our future. God help us all if we put another unprepared Citizen of this country in that oval office, God help us all.

ONLY Obama   May 3rd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I reject pandering. I reject fear mongering. I embrace integrity. I embrace hope.

GOBAMA!!!!

mk   May 3rd, 2008 5:15 pm ET

If it comes down to Hillary vs. McCain, the Republicans, who didn't have a snowball's chance to begin with, may actually have a shot at the white house. NO ONE will vote for Hillary in the general election - she is DIVISIVE TO THE EXTREME. Think about your options in the big picture - Democrats make your vote count.

We just can survive 4 more years (at least) of a trillion-dollar war, 4 more years of recession, 4 more years of a declining America in the world market, 4 more years of divisive foreign relations. 4 more years of out of control immigration. 4 more years of a weakened America with terrorist threats. 4 more years of a party irrelevant for the citizens of its country.

Chris   May 3rd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Whatever the result is , IF Hilary did not win North Carolina She should drop out, The more she stays the more divided we become as democrat, If it were to be Barak that'sbehind in all the metrics he would have dropped out for the unity of the party. This is selfishness on the part Hilary and the truth there is she has divided the party and i doubt if she will support Barak if she ends up losing the nomination to him . The unity of the party depends on How whosoever looses ralies his her base to support the eventual nominee. If anybody thinks it's all about gender or race then we are not ready for a change in America. No matter how we think, race, gender, color ethnic we are all Americans and when we get to the gas station or the grocery store nobody ask any question about whether we are red, white black or green we all go through the same thing and have the same red blood flowing in us.

al   May 3rd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Hillary wants to have it both ways. When did being the FIRST LADY qualify you for being president. She "claims" "we created over 10 million" new jobs. She and who created the jobs ?? Was she in the cabinet ?? Last time I checked she did not want say she was a Memeber of the Cabinet to have her notes and papers opened to the public for her meetings. Being the President's wife does not mean you are qualified to be president. This is a SHELL GAME.

People are confused with "CLINTON" and this is the game

Lisa   May 3rd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Once again, Obama is winning in the states that don't matter.

yes we can   May 3rd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Lets win this thing Barack
yes we can
yes we can
yes we will
yes we did

e pluribus unum

Kris In PA   May 3rd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Rise Hillary Rise!

Lisa   May 3rd, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Once again, Obama is winning in the states don't matter.

Baby Girl   May 3rd, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Obama we are voting for you

Obama 08   May 3rd, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Still waiting for a headline explaining that Clinton is losing her lead in superdelgates…..down by over 80 since super Tuesday…isn't this the group that is supposed to put her over the top??

Perhaps sometime today CNN could remove the picture of Rev. Wright and replace it with Hillary dodging sniper fire!!

Janis   May 3rd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

With every 50/50 primary, Obama moves closer to the nomination. Hillary can't afford any more "moral" victories. Enough with the spin and trying to prolong this race even further — this race is officially O V E R. I'm sick of all the spin about how Hillary picking up 10 delegates in PA is going to save her campaign, which is still behind 160 delegates and will need 16 more Pennsylvania results just to catch up.

cainmiriam   May 3rd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Peace, Unity, America first, CHANGE for the better.
bring it home. OBAMA 2008

Kristen   May 3rd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

What a great win for Obama. You'd never know it by watching the news though. They're hoping to make it look like this race is neck and neck and doing everything in their power to keep it going. Obama will win. He's the next president.

Jason   May 3rd, 2008 5:07 pm ET

My father called on Americans to ask what they could do for their country.

Those who answered his call built a movement that transformed our country and brought out the best in our national character.

Barack Obama has followed in that tradition — dedicating himself to public service as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago and then as a state and U.S. Senator.

Now, Barack is calling on a new generation of leaders to get involved and help transform this country.

The Obama Organizing Fellowship is designed not just to help win this election, but to strengthen our democracy by training dedicated volunteers in communities across the country.

Answer the call. Ask what you can do — for this movement, for our democracy, and for this country.

Thank you,

Caroline Kennedy

Norm   May 3rd, 2008 5:07 pm ET

He could lose both IN, NC, and guam. He's still the better nominee against McCain because with Clinton on the ticket we'd lose Colorado, New Mexico, and Iowa to McCain. These are the new swing states.

Anthony Watkins West Palm Beach, FL   May 3rd, 2008 5:06 pm ET

ok, you kn ow somebody was dying to use this headline!!!!!
i see sevral inside sites are saying obama gets close to an even split on the 4 regs and but will take 4 of 5 on the supers from guam, so lookm for a small win for obama which will give hima 7-2 or maybe a 8-1 total delgate split, so he picks up maybe 5-6 delgates on her and that will be about as many as the winner in indiana will gain!

Ann Romero   May 3rd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Go Hillary, beat the pants off of Obama kick him real hard do it for Rev. Wright.

jujub   May 3rd, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Just think…if Hillary Clinton had not voted for the war, she would not have to work so hard to convince us she has great judgment.

Yes Joe - Raleigh, NC.   May 3rd, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Vote for Hillary to save the democratic party. Vote for Obama to give the next four years to McCain.

Nelson Germer   May 3rd, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Hafa Dai Guam,
I am one of those that have democrat election fatigue and yes I am a democrat. Hillary's nose just keep growing and growing with her lies and people with common sense are seeing right thru her.
She and Bill believe they have an entitlement to the white house and will do anything and promise anything like professional career Washingtonians they are. Who they think they are kidding?
Bill lost my respect with the VERY LOW politics he is playing on Behalf of his Wife. Get real if we elect Hillary we will deserve everything that comes with the baggage. Monica, Donors to Bills Library Issues and plenty of Sniper fire hillary won't be able to Duck.

Lorna, NY   May 3rd, 2008 5:02 pm ET

It is amazing to me that the media keeps Rev Wright on the news daily but, issues like the investigation of the Clintons and their fundraising scandals with Peter Paul, that the WVWR's investigation going on right now in NC. Why is the media biased? Why are you not telling the American people the truth??? Rev. Wright is not running for president of the United States of American.

Ezstreet   May 3rd, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Shrill needs 53% of the final district to pull ahead overall………aint gonna happen

Bill   May 3rd, 2008 5:01 pm ET

HUGE WIN!!!!

Obama blew Clinton away….This should be all over MSNBC, CBS< CBS< CNN….What a huge margin……

Clinton has no legs…..she has been sent to the shed……..

No, it wont be huge news. CNN rather have a picture of R. Wright up and talk about him.

Obama, keep doing what your doing, the majority of the American people are with you despite the media's attempt to decide this race…

S.M.   May 3rd, 2008 5:01 pm ET

ooooo Guam! Well Hillary should definitely pull out of the race now, because Obama is leading in Guam! Forget about Oregon and Kentucky and Indiana……The funny thing is, all these Obama cheerleaders are saying "this is SUCH a huge win! He beat her in Guam!" When in reality if the result stays this close, both candidates will get 4 pledged delegates. So call it an Obama win, call it a Clinton loss, Me…I'm calling it what it should be, A TIE.

De-de-do   May 3rd, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Clinton's loss might be just because of the sniper fire she encountered in '95 when visiting Guam.

SHoward   May 3rd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Why is CNN still not declaring Obama the Winner. If Hillary was ahead it would be declared by now. The double standards that prevalent in the media in regards to Senator Obama and Senator Clinton is unfair but totally believeable. You report on Rev. Wright while our soldiers are dying daily in Iraq. However, you say nothing about the pending investigation Senator Clinton is currently in regards donation abuse/fraud.

With 1400 votes left to count do you really think all of the remaining votes will be for Clinton? No, you don't but being biased is second nature to all of you at CNN.

Ben   May 3rd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Mrs. C knows how to lie, how to cheat, how to work 24-7, how to say whatever is necessary, how to morph into a Republican before your very eyes, and how to win. Mr. O doesn't. Politics ain't beanbag. Watch Hillary win! She will eat McCain for breakfast. Hillary — America's iron lady!

Elizabeth, NC   May 3rd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Now be sincere. We know to whom the votes of Dededo will go to. Que: Name starts with an O and ends with an A and has a B and M inbetween seperated by another A. No sniper fires, or goldilocks here.

D R   May 3rd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

How is CNN going to spin this! News Flash.. Rev. Wright stuffed ballots in Guam! Hillary treated unfair in Guam. And this one for sure. Obama wins non critical Guam. Or if she pulls it off, and she was suppose to win Guam, News Flash.. Hillary continues comeback with critical win in Guam! CNN The Clinton News Network.

am   May 3rd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Go Obama!!

From Springfield/Eugene Oregon.

Eddie   May 3rd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Whether Obama wins or loses you all will find away to make it mute for him.I thought America had come so far,but if the bias media coverage is any example of where we are,pitiful.

karin   May 3rd, 2008 4:58 pm ET

CNN IS SO FUNNY…..AT 1ST ALL WEEK CNN WAS SAYING OBAMA LEAD IN NC WAS DOWN BY 7 ……NOW CNN IS SAYING TODAY OBAMA LEAD IS BY 9…..HOW IS THAT LOSSING GROUND…..LOOKS LIKE THAT GAINING GROUND……IF OBAMA IS UP FROM 7 TO 9…..COME ON CNN LETS GET IT TOGETHER………YOUR STARTING TO ACT LIKE HILLARY……..GO OBAMA 08

yes we can   May 3rd, 2008 4:57 pm ET

you can do it obama.

Looks like Guam see through HillBilly's lies. This nomination is over. Time to move on and take on McCain!

Obama 08

Marie in California   May 3rd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

I don't know why anyone votes for Obama. As a political Independent, the only vote I give him is the vote of….. NO CONFIDENCE.

Hillary or McCain - 2008

Ann T   May 3rd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

I know Guam is not that significant in the "big" scheme of things, but I can see CNN is keeping it's usual low profile, due to the fact that Obama is winning. If it were reverese, and Clinton was ahead, what do you bet you'd have a big banner with that as your headline. I'm so sick and tired of CNN and it's biasness.

LauraVW   May 3rd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Another "big" win for Obama where it matters (not).

Ken   May 3rd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I don't know why I care about this primary so much…

Ezstreet   May 3rd, 2008 4:53 pm ET

CNN in the tank for Shrillary!!!

Shame....   May 3rd, 2008 4:52 pm ET

That’s great news for Hillary.

Now she can parachute into Guam Capital to claim ‘Mission Accomplished’ right before she tells the natives how her Daddy rowed in a tiny boat all the way from America to pick coconuts and spend time with the natives.

I hear she promised full US Citizenship for the natives; if this was so important why didn’t her husband do this when he was President? Oh, that doesn’t matter because the Clintons are brand new each and every day because Hillary is like a cat, many lives and many lies.

Hillary Clinton, Do and Say Anything ‘08

Charlotte   May 3rd, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Looks like another 50/50 split on delegates. Go Hillary, your closing in NC. Where he was expected to win easily?

Whining Obama   May 3rd, 2008 4:52 pm ET

I cannot wait till Tuesday. With Hillary winning Indiana and Obama maybe sqeaking out a win in NC, I am curious to hear the spin the Obama people will make.
He is bleeding.
