Hawaii: Honolulu Advertiser (600LV | 10/13-10/1 : Bush 43, Kerry 43
Anyone who has been to Hawaii will know thar there is no such word as Republican only Demoncrat out there. Normaly the polls are about 80/20 so this 43/43 is spectacular
I bet Senator InNoWay is not happy about this

Hawaii, the most socialist state in America. Dems have run it since...since I can't remember when...always, I guess.
Now Bush is tied with Kerry there?
Satan must have just ordered his down jacket & mucklucks to be overnight shipped from Lands End!

Hawai'i Poll: Bush, Kerry in dead heat
By Derrick DePledge
Advertiser Capitol Bureau
President Bush and Sen. John Kerry are deadlocked among likely voters in Hawai'i, a surprising boost for the Republican president in a state that many Democrats had considered safe for Kerry.
George W. Bush
John Kerry
The findings of the Honolulu Advertiser Hawai'i Poll suggest that Hawai'i's four electoral votes are in play with just over a week to go before the election. Nationally, other opinion polls have found that Bush and Kerry are essentially tied for the popular vote.
The Hawai'i Poll, taken among 600 likely voters statewide between Oct. 13 and Monday, had Bush at 43.3 percent and Kerry at 42.6 percent. The margin of error was 4 percentage points.
A large number of voters, 12 percent, said they were still undecided, giving supporters of both candidates hope during the final days of the campaign.
With the race so close, Hawai'i could be a factor in the election, which could energize get-out-the-vote drives across the Islands and increase voter turnout.
Although the candidates have concentrated mostly on large swing states such as Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, smaller states such as Iowa and New Hampshire — with seven and four electoral votes, respectively — have been important parts of the puzzle because many voters there are undecided. The winner needs 270 electoral votes.
"It is shocking," said Greg Gaydos, an associate professor of political science at Hawai'i Pacific University. "I'd say it's very bad news for Kerry if he's tied in a state like Hawai'i."
Hawai'i's strong Democratic tradition still makes the state favorable for Kerry, several political analysts said, but the Massachusetts Democrat has yet to capitalize even though many voters here appear uncomfortable with Bush over the war in Iraq. |

| Airforce One should make one stop there before the election. George could always say that Laura asked him to pick up a couple of pineapples. |

I can vouch that there are many that support Bush in Hawaii. Born and raised there and visit there often, my entire family is voting for Bush. My Dad had 10 brothers and sisters, so you can imagine how many cousins I have there. Some are Vietnam vets and are against Kerry. Many "Vietnam Veterans Against Kerry" signs in Kailua and North Shore of Oahu. The issue is religion and I think it's the gay and pro-life issue that is driving the change on the islands.

The broader the "battleground" the better for Bush...Kerry's having to play defense and he's still down nationally and in his own backyard battleground states...not a time to get cocky but you keep pressing the other team til the buzzer sounds and you can jump up and down and run to the locker room...the best defense is a good offense...the best offense is a good defense...having to play defense while you need to catch up usually means you lose...OK, enough of the sports analogies.  |
