Guam voters
helping to pick Democratic nominee
HAGATNA, Guam
(AP) - Supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama
are gathering at caucuses in Guam to pick among national convention
delegates pledged to each of them.
Four regular
delegate votes and two superdelegate positions are at stake at
daylong polls Saturday at about 20 caucus sites around the island.
The U.S. Pacific territory is 8,000 miles from Washington and
a day ahead on the clock.
Party officials
expected more than 3,000 voters to sign up as Democrats at community
centers, schools, an old fire station and a village gym. It's
a day of decision that usually passes without much notice in
Washington.
This time, Obama
and Clinton made their case for the territory's four regular
delegates with local advertising and long-distance interviews.
