7:40 p.m. Guam - Guam's ABC-7 and the Pacific News Center continue to generate headlines for Guam on the U.S. mainland and elsewhere. Earlier today, Pacific News Center's Executive Producer Catherine Cruz Norton was featured on ABC-7's sister station in San Francisco, KGO-TV. Here is their report:
The spotlight is on next Tuesday's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, but voters in Guam are actually having their say in a caucus right now.
Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are fiercely fighting for every delegate, and Guam has nine.
Although 6,000 miles from the mainland, the Pacific territory is getty plenty of attention from the candidates.
Four delegates are awarded by popular vote. Guam also has five superdelegates.
KGO-TV spoke to a journalist at the Pacific News Center as polls opened just a few hours ago.
"A lot of ads are being placed on TV and on radio. A lot of advertising and a great deal of activity from both camps, so we're certainly feeling that Guam is somehow important in the big scheme of things," said Catherine Cruz Norton, Executive Producer of Pacific News Center.
Norton said voter turnout today is triple the usual numbers.KGUM is one local radio station DUers can listen to online at:
