The results of the first contest of Super Tuesday, the vote of fewer than 100 registered Democrats in Indonesia, are in:

The midnight (1700 GMT Monday) ballot at a five-star hotel saw red-eyed US expatriates stay up late to choose between Obama and Clinton. …

Clinton-backer General Wesley Clark, himself a contender for nomination in 2004, called in via an online telephone to deliver his stump speech, oblivious to a scrambled link that amused the crowd by garbling much of his comments.

Obama’s half-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng had better success with her phone line and was enthusiastically cheered.

The tally at this point:

Obama: 1 victory. Clinton: None.
