Guam talk radio listeners were treated to a very special caller yesterday on K-57's morning show.

Former President Bill Clinton called in campaign for his wife, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton, who's running for president.

"I think that she is really the person that the people of Guam should support. She has been the most outspoken advocate in the U.S. Senate for the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act," Clinton said.

Former Speaker Joe T. San Agustin said the call was historic.

"As far as I remember, no presidential candidate ... ever called Guam to solicit support. I (was) chairman for the Democratic party for quite some time ... but we've never been openly courted like this. Guam is now part of the decision-making stream."

The former president said it was possible that he, his wife or daughter could visit Guam during the campaign.

"Whether she can I think depends in part on the demands of North Carolina and Indiana," the former president said.

Citizens of Guam can also find their polling location on Obama's web site:

Clearly this little island will be getting more attention from Dems than ever before.

2. Well, they're American citizens...shouldn't their votes count?
I know they can't vote in general elections because Guam isn't a state, but they pay taxes and are subject to American laws, including being drafted (I knew several Puerto Rican draftees in the Army). They should have some input into the process. I just had a great idea! Guam, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa should have primaries or caucuses before Iowa and New Hampshire. That way, their voices would be heard. :dem: :hi:

3. Good Lord
Bill Clinton is like a fat, balding ex-high school football star trying to re-live old glory days on the field by living vicariously through his son.

5. Or like a husband campaigning for his wife?
Would you say the same about Michele Obama?

Just because he's held office does not disqualify him from speaking in favor of his wife.

6. If I were a good citizen of Guam, I'd like to know if Bill Clinton is seeking ...
therapy for his sexual addiction? If not, can he be blackmailed and by whom? :scared: :nuke:
