Some (good) late night election news we weren’t able to stay up for: In Hawaii, Rep. Neil Abercrombie — the pro civil unions, but not necessarily marriage candidate — beat Republican challenger Lt. Gov. James ‘Duke’ Aiona. Abercrombie, a New York native, becomes the state’s seventh governor.

This is a good thing, since I was born in Hawaii I know how very conservative the entire state is. It’s good that the elections are going in a good election(cept for the Rep’s house takeover)

Very good, I’d say civil unions, here we come!

Did the House stay Democratic? If so yes, I’d say they should get their fully-equal (except for the name) Civil Unions.

@george: The Hawaii Legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic.

Hawaiian politics is a weird and wonderful thing to behold. One of the most democratic states while also with a strong streak of blue collar conservatism.
I miss home!
