Obama wins Guam Democratic contest: officials

HAGATNA, Guam (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the nominating contest on the Pacific island of Guam by just seven votes, election officials said on Sunday.

With only four votes at the Democratic convention at stake, the contest on Guam, a tiny U.S. territory more than 20 hours by plane from Washington, will barely register in the protracted duel for the party's presidential ticket.

"Clearly, both of them are quite popular and we should celebrate that," Josh Tenorio, Obama's campaign manager in Guam, told Reuters. (Reporting by Maureen Maratita; Editing by Carmel Crimmins and Ibon Villelabeitia)
