Look it’s all very simple.
The otehr 7 “states” that senc delegations to the Democrartic National Convention that Barack Obama was alluding to are:
1) The District of Columbia
2) Puerto Rico
3) Virgin Islands
4) Guam
5) American Samoa
6) Unassigned (possibly Northern Marianas) *
and....
7) Democrats Abroad.
* I can find Northern Marianas only listed for the Republicans at The Green Papers:

But maybe they send a delegation anyway but the Green papers didn’t have any information.
The Green Papers has a category called Unassigned for Democrats with 3 delgate votes
See http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/D-Alloc.phtml
That just might mean that later some states are going to get them.
