Kerry and Kucinich win Hawaii Democratic delegates

A last-minute phone bank to seek support plus the endorsement of most of the Democratic establishment gave U.S. Sen. John Kerry a victory in the Hawaii Democratic caucus tonight.
Democrats across the state gathered in caucus meetings tonight to select a presidential candidate.

They gave U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich his first second place finish in a Democratic contest and his first elected delegates, according to Bart Dame, Hawaii Kucinich organizer.

The Hawaii win capped a day of caucus victories for Kerry in Utah and Idaho.

In Hawaii, Kerry and Kucinich were the only candidates to win delegates as the others failed to get the needed 15 percent of the votes.

Santiago said Kucinich had won half of the Democratic vote on Maui, considered the candidate’s stronghold.

This Kucinich finish is marvelous. GO KUCINICH GO!

Hope this lights a candle under all Kucinich supporters, of which I have always been one; though, admittedly, scared of the "electibility" question. I truly want him to go as far as he can. Well, I can dream, can't I?

3. I knew there was somethin up

listening to NBC this morning (and briefly ABC) when they mentioned Kerry winning all 3 contests, and Edwards in 2nd in Utah and Idaho.......then a murmer of 'but Edwards only garnered 13% in Hawaii...end of story.

NO mention of Kucinich placing 2nd in Hawaii with 40% and winning delegates.
Haven't even mentioned his name.

Go Kucinich!!!
