1. Woo hoo! Hillary ekes out a victory in Hagåtña!

As Hagåtña goes, so goes the nation! On the other hand, Obama swamped Hillary in Sinajana, but then, everyone knows that Sinajana is Latte Liberal Central. ;)

3. The road to the Whitehouse goes through Hagatna!

She has mapped out a helluva a winding road to her selective and few wins.

2. High turnout

"There are many new Democrats today," Perez said, noting that many people registered -- "Democrats for a day" -- just to vote in the caucus. "I am so surprised. I never thought it would be like this."

12. She has to win Dededo by just over 56% to squeeze by...

Seems unlikely given the rest of the island's votes so far, but you never know.

[featherman]

17. Not sure it means anything but notice the article does not credit any votes

for Obama in Mangilao which he won but does tally 155 for Clinton. Obama's lead may be larger due to this glitch

[nyccitizen]

9. Only a few delegates at stake, but I will say this...

All these pictures make me want to go visit Guam. The weather looks great and everyone looks really pleasant.

11. My spouse lived there as a child... some of happiest days of her life

Her father flew inter-island PBY's for Trans-Pacific Airways in the 1950's

19. Great news

A strong desire to reward the candidate with the most honest approach.
