Only three villages left to report and Barack Obama maintains his 53%-47% lead over Hillary Clinton. But, the race is not over because those 3 villages (Dededo, Yona and Agat) account for about a third of the population of Guam. Most of that comes from the largest area, Dededo.

The totals right now are:

Obama: 1,720

Clinton: 1,507

While the overall race is still close, the race for chairman and vice chairman of the U.S. territory's Democratic party is not.  Those winning these positions automatically become 2 of the superdelegates for Guam. The posts will be won by the pro-Obama slate where one candidate has endorsed him and the other says he'll support the Guam popular vote winner.

UPDATE: Now only Dededo is left. New totals:

Obama: 1,951

Clinton: 1,748
