Barack Obama wins the Guam Democratic presidential caucuses
This means that Obama has won American Samoa, US Virgin Islands and Guam - overseas US territories. Only Puerto Rico remains. As a Progressive Democrat we oppose imperialism. Should Barack Obama denounce the support of these imperially-occupied territories?

2. That would be a little hypocritical, don't you think?

To "denounce the support of these imperially-occupied territories" yet run in a Presidential primary and accept delegates would be irrational. On second hand, that would be a typical Obama move.

I don't have a problem with Imperialism. Hey, let's take back the Panama Canal while we're at it.

5. I think it was too early in the process, before folks got to know
Obama, where he really came from and who is relatives are. American Samoa was won based on name rec.

6. Obama won with 7 votes. Obama 50% Clinton 50%
This means Hillary ate into his lead. He outspent her and put people on the ground in Guam to campaign for him. The fact that Hillary tied him in Guam says something is happening.

It means that HRC lost another chance to close the delegate count. Time and primaries are running out.
