HAGATNA, Guam, May 3 (UPI) -- Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., beat Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., by seven votes in Guam's caucuses Saturday, winning 50.1 percent of the vote to her 49.9 percent.
Obama also seemed likely to pick up one more superdelegate in the U.S. territory, CNN reported. An election official said Pilar Lujan and Jaime Paulino were ahead in the race for party chair and vice-chair, with Lujan uncommitted and Paulino committed to Obama.
The other slate, Joseph Artero Cameron and Arlen Bordallo, both backed Clinton.
The Guam caucuses are a hybrid. Like caucuses, they are run by the party, but voting is by secret ballot as in primaries.
The territory, with a total of nine delegates would normally get little attention. But the race for the Democratic presidential nomination is still so close that Clinton and Obama are fighting for every delegate.
While neither candidate made the trip across the Pacific to campaign in Guam, both have spent heavily on advertising.
