May 5, Headlines - Barack Obama edged out Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Presidential caucus in Guam by just 7 votes. Guam will send 8 delegates, which are only worth half a delegate each, and 5 Super Delegates to the Democratic Convention even though residents of the US Territory do not get to vote in the general election.

In addition to the caucus in Guam, a special election in Louisiana took away a Congressional seat held by Republicans for 20 years and handed it to a Democrat. Democrat Don Cazayoux defeated Republican Woody Jenkins 49 to 46 percent.

In election reform, Senators Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Jon Tester of Montana, and Tom Harkin of Iowa are pushing for legislation that would require states to allow same-day voter registration in federal elections. Lawmakers say same-day registration would make voting easier and encourage more people to vote. Currently 8 states allow same day registration laws.

Hillary Clinton continues to keep secret the names of contributors to the Clinton Library Foundation. She says the identification of the donors need to be protected. This comes even though the library sold the donor information to a US database firm. Critics charge that Clinton needs to release the names to make sure there is no conflict of interest between the Clinton Library and the Clinton campaign. Clinton says she would release the names if she were to win the Presidential election.
