Sen. Barack Obama won the Democratic caucuses on Guam by seven votes over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, less than 0.2 percent of the vote in a spirited election that required an overnight hand count of the ballots, the Associated Press reported.
Delegates pledged to Obama got 2,264 votes, while Clinton's slate received 2,257 -- an unusually heavy turnout to the polls for the U.S. island territory in the western Pacific.
The result means the candidates will split the four pledged delegate votes for the Democratic national convention.
U.S. citizens on the island have no vote in the November election.
