Guam

Don't forget -- tomorrow is the Guam primary. Now, if it's not bizarre enough that we're havingn a primary in Guam consider this: Guam will send 13 delegates to the DNC. Of those, 8 will be pledged delegates -- but each pledged delegate from Guam will get just half a vote.  In all Guam will have 9 total delegate votes -- 4 of them from the 8 pledged delegates, and five from five superdelegates. So more superdelegates will be coming from Guam than primary delegates.  Yup, bizarre. (All this courtesy of 2008 Democratic Convention Watch.)
