Guam Results 79% In, With Obama in a 54% Lead
15 out of 19 voting districts in Guam’s Democratic caucus are reporting, and Barack Obama appears to have won 9 out of the 15 reporting districts. At the level of individual votes in the caucuses, Barack Obama has garnered 54%, with 46% going to Hillary Clinton.
Why have the news media covered this event, which generates the equivalent of 4 delegates (8 delegates with a half a vote each) in the presidential campaign, plus the election of two more local political figures who will become superdelegates? After all, the media regularly provide coverage to the announcement of endorsements by single superdelegates. Is it because today is Super-Ignore-News-Saturday? Is it because Guam spelled backwards is Maug?
This is the primary in which the last (e.g. Guam) shall be first and the first (e.g. Michigan and Florida) shall be last. The underdog will win and the assumptive queen shall be denied power. Mix-ups and irregularities indeed.
UPDATE: with just 2 districts left to be counted, Obama is ahead 53 percent.
