Hawaii has a chance to take Kerry over the top......
with a lousy 3 votes, Hawaii can be the deciding factor in this razor thin race......

Blue Hawaii has new meaning.....

1. As if Hawaii would ever go Republican anyway?
We're safe over there. It's the swing states like New Hampshire that will determine this election.

3. Hawaii helped JFK in 1960. That was a nailbiter year and all I was
saying is....this just might be a another one. Hawaii most likely will go Blue but that is besides the point...

GO KERRY

2. I don't want it to be that close. We deserve a landslide, not a nailbiter.

4. Kinda looks like a landslide but one never knows...History
has a way of repeating itself....that is....when it comes to Human matters.

5. That would be 4 votes (perhaps the 4th isn't lousy?!)
with a lousy 3 votes

Electoral votes = no. of Congressional reps + 2 (for the two senators)

So, two reps (Abercrombie, Case) + two senators (Inouye, Akaka) = a massive haul of four electoral votes.

The electoral college sucks anyway, because it forces the whole campaign into a few "swing states". The only upside is that we don't have to look at any Bush* ads!
