GUAM RESULTS........UPDATED>>>>>


UPDATE:
Officials Say Recount Is 'Imminent'

9:30 a.m. Guam - The Democrat Party Nominating Committee said officials will look over the large amount of "spoiled ballots" in the coming days.

At issue is the small margin of victory of Senator Barack Obama. He beat his rival, Senator Hillary Clinton by 7 votes, but well over 500 ballots were deemed invalid during the tabulation process.

Herbie Perez, chairman of the nominating committee, said she will not certify the results because the Committee needs to ensure that all the uncounted ballots were properly identified as "spoiled."

She said officials from the Party and representatives from both candidates will meet probably Monday or Tuesday to address that issue.

Perez revealed she is also looking into the missing ballots.

More than 8,100 were printed in response to reports of shortages at precinct sites. But when the final tally came in, only a little over 4,500 ballots were used.

Guam is coming in slow....
From Cnn
Obama.....53%..........1,951
Clinton......47%.........1,748
% in.........95%

FINAL FROM CNN
Obama wins by 7 votes....no total from CNN yet
UPDATE:
Obama....50%....2,264
Clinton....50%....2,257
100%

For updates on line....KAUM
Even the Kentucky Derby wasn't this close. In the strangest of circumstances that could only bring about the closest of races, Hillary Clinton finished with 49.9% of the vote in the Guam Democratic Caucus, just 7 votes shy of Barack Obama's 50.1%. While Obama led for the vast majority of the night's tallying, Clinton needed a strong finish in Dededo, Guam's most populous village. And she did.

Hey there, I wasn't around to know what happened, but you are an important part of that community. I've been jumped on there for things I've said and I couldn't figure out why. Don't let one bad apple ruin it. We need your energy. Seriously. Do it for me, do for Hillary.

30yrdem, please come back to TM. I was there, nobody came down hard. People were excited and confused. Everyone makes mistakes, even Hillary, but she never lets that stop her.

Hillary's election is more important than anything and you are an integral part of it. If I stopped posting because of some of the stupid things I have said on blogs, well, I'd have a much cleaner house!

Please come back. Nobody's talking about the mistake. You know how fast the comments go, they've moved on seven or eight times since this afternoon.

Please come back to TM...we've been asking for you and about you all evening. CNN is the pits...

I'm going to throw myself on a pile of empty Guam ballots and set everything on fire if you don't come back to TM!

Hey 30yr dem! Don't let some jerk keep you way from TM. I'm a long time lurker and would be disappointed not to see you there. I really appreciated what you were doing for us.

Everyone's tense with excitement and anticipation. I think we're all likely to go off here and there. We need to be like Hillary and let it roll off our backs. One bad egg, and all.

Hope to see you soon. :)

Hey there. May I offer a friendly word of advice? Sleep well. Give it some thought, and give us another chance. When you're well-rested, come on over to TM and re-read the posts. I admit I was gone for a fair time during dinner and was surprised at what had transpired during my break (I leave for a few minutes and all h-e-double toothpicks breaks loose!). So of course being the nosey woman I am, I spent a fair portion of the evening NOT reading about Guam or NC or IN or anything else, but poring over previous posts to see what I'd missed. My Friend, (oops, sorry...Johnny Mack ruined that phrase for me. But really, we are all of us friends at TM), I think it's been a hard day. Read the posts again, if you can. I think, with a clear head, you will find there was no one intending to come down hard on you. You are much loved in our little family of friends. Truly. Come see for yourself.

Hey, your buds at TM are beautiful, passionate people who wear their hearts on their sleeves, and right now everyone is in high gear, emotional as hell, and missing you like crazy. You always hurt the one you love, 30yeardem, because you feel that love is reciprocal and will always be there. So come on, love us back, I miss you.

Although I don't post a lot at TM, I have been an avid lurker for months now. You are one of my favorite people there. I really appreciate the numerous links you provide and make it a point to always read through what 30yrdem deems important. I was not online this afternoon when you announced you weren't posting anymore because I was out doing yard work, but when I heard you were gone this evening, my mood plunged. You are a HUGE part of the community, 30yrdem. Please find it in your heart to work out the differences with whomever it was who offended you. Hillary and I need you back at TM. plumgang

30yrdem,

I am mostly a lurker at TM, have been so for months. But your postings are some of my favorites and I really miss you there. I guess I will have to start lurking on your site, too. But I hope you come back. Read all the comments after you left and you will know how sad we are. Please keep in mind how much stress everyone has right now and I hope you give us another chance. We are a very diversified group, but I know that we all care for each HRC and her campaign and we need you there with us.

Just a "lurkers" viewpoint.

30yr - I wish you would come back to TM. I haven't read what actually transpired, who jumped on you, etc, but I heard about it.

I think to some extent it's like a family there, and sometimes in families people behave badly. Sometimes obnoxious guests are visiting. Sometimes emotions get high and hurtful communication results between people who are a team.

Please consider coming back. You're a big part of the family.

30yrdem,
I am a lurker atTM's blog and a forein national here itTX. I am a huge Hillary fan and have been wanting
to donate to her cause ever since but can't do it legally so Ive been donating to TM's blog instead whenever you
guys are having online drive. I follow everything on TM and I read what happened this morning. It is disheartening
to learn that you will not post there anymore. I hope you will reconsider since you've been a huge help to the
bloggers and lurkers alike. I appreciate all the tallying you've been doing for them and the info you've been posting.
It will be a great day for me if i see you post there again soon...

Thank you for all you've been doing for Hillary and her fans.
