Guam’s nine delegates go Romney

TAMUNING, Guam – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has picked up nine more delegates, winning unanimous backing at the Republican convention on the U.S. territory of Guam.

Republicans on the tiny Pacific island decided to shun traditional paper ballots, and all 215 eligible to vote at the state convention backed Romney with a show of hands.

The Guam convention’s co-chair, Jerry Crisostomo, said that while Guam’s Republican National Convention delegates are technically uncommitted, all nine have pledged to vote for the candidate chosen at the state convention.
