Hillary Clinton has won the American Samoa contest -the smallest of Super Tuesday- and called the caucus to thank supporters reports KITV.

A record 285 caucus-goers voted in a hotel in Pago Pago. Clinton secured 163 votes and Barack Obama 121, with one going to former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel.

Party officials said it is the biggest caucus vote ever in American Samoa, where voters can help pick the presidential nominee, but cannot vote in the presidential election.

At the time of going to press, Clinton and Obama were neck and neck.
