Those who caucused in Gardiner and Manchester chose Sen. Barack Obama by wide margins today.

Unofficial totals in Gardiner showed 129 for Obama and 47 for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

In Manchester, 79 expressed a preference for Obama and 31 for Clinton.

Democratic Party officials use the totals to divvy up delegates.

Both towns had larger than normal turnout, and Augusta delayed the start of its caucus for about an hour because of long lines of people waiting to register as Democrats. Their results will not be available until later tonight.
