2. Ditto that.

I'm fading fast....

[gateley]

3. Someone posted earlier that it probably would be a few more hours (I think

because of the large turnouts?).

I'm a VERY LATE East Coaster, but even I was thinking I probably wouldn't be up at the time the reports started coming in.

[ellisonz]

12. It's going to take an indefinite amount of time. Turnout is very high.

The state party has not been prepared. People are voting on slips of paper.

[gateley]

15. Thanks. I think you'll be drinking a celebratory Kool Aid in a few hours...nt

[Bicoastal]

4. I'll wait it out in my comfy Hawaii chair.

What's that--you don't know what a Hawaii chair is?

[gateley]

[ellisonz]

Democrats face long lines, confusion

We won't have solid numbers for hours, and possibly until the morning.

[Levgreee]

8. I call it for Obama

[TeamJordan23]

11. Will anyone even be up on CNN or MSNBC? nm

[Bicoastal]

25. from one of their blogs

Kawananakoa was so bad, they asked all district 26 people to go to the auditorium. Upon entering the auditorium, it was chaos! People trying to figure out where to be, how to vote, what to do. Very disorganized. I was one unhappy democrat. With an island son running for president, what where you folks thinking?

[saltpoint]

27. Yes. Perhaps a little craziness, but that's ok. People turned out in

what looks like record numbers.

Bless 'em!

17. Kauai precinct votes nearly 4-1 for Obama

Kauai precinct votes nearly 4-1 for Obama

Advertiser Staff

One precinct on Kaua'i reported the result of its caucus with Sen. Barack Obama getting 168 votes to 46 for Sen. Hillary Clinton and one for John Edwards.

The results were for District 16, Precinct 1, which voted at Koloa Library.

"This was the biggest turnout for a caucus ever," said precinct chairman Dr.

Monroe Richman, who has been a Democrat since he voted for Harry Truman.

"It's 100 more than what I predicted," Richman said of the Koloa event,

which wrapped up voting just after 7:30 p.m.

Most of the more than 200 people who turned out had never been to a caucus before.

22. 200 votes total? that is manini (small) compared to what my caucus voted

At least 1000-1200 people at my caucus alone.

[maximusveritas]

20. You'd think the election officials would know to expect record turnout

Or maybe they purposely underestimated in the hopes of scaring away some voters. It's just odd how this keeps happening.

[ellisonz]

21. They did. They thought 2-3 times, turns out it was 4-6 times at least.

[FlyingSquirrel]

23. Those Dagnab Hawaiians wouldn't even give us a single poll to go by

:)

[ellisonz]

26. It's not our fault you Mainland haoles are too lazy to get off your okoles and make da kine.

:sarcasm:

[CalGator]

32. There is one up, actually.

It shows a clear Obama edge. 2:1 in one district, 3:1 in another.

[Cha]

28. Thanks for the advice :)

I'll try to stay up anyway..pull an all nighter if I have to.

[ellisonz]

29. I hope you're retired.

:donut:

[Cha]

36. I work part-time..tomorrow's

my day..I'm lucky about elections on Tues. :)

[Renew Deal]

31. I'm in NY

I'm planning on staying up another half hour. :hangover:

[smalll]

30. This is kind of ridiculous. Since Hawaii seems to be about 6 hours or more behind

the rest of us, they really should have run their voting early -- like from 5am to 5pm. We're supposed to be part of the same country here. They're not voting for the President of Hawaii.

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. Like Moscow time?

In fact they should just ignore the rotation of earth and its natural patterns
and live according to how I greet the day?


OK

[ellisonz]

33. Local TV News is saying turnout is about 18,000.

They likely won't have numbers for hours and hours yet.

Precincts have 48 hours to report.

[ellisonz]

35. My father says that our precinct in the our state district went 41-11 Obama.

There were probably 10-12 other precincts at the polling place.

[Blue-Jay]

37. Those slackers are probably still asleep.

Shit, I miss Hawaii.

Aloha, brahs. \m/
