Gore fires up Dems

Former Vice President Al Gore fired up a standing-only crowd of more than 1,200 Democrats at a Kalihi rally last night, criticizing President Bush and saying polls that put Bush and Sen. John Kerry neck-and-neck in the islands mean Hawaii voters could decide the election.

"I encourage early voting to make sure that they have time to count your vote," Gore told attendees. "And this time around, Hawaii may very well have the deciding vote in picking the next president."

Gore was joined at the Farrington High School rally by Alexandra Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate's oldest daughter. Several Hawaii Democratic dignitaries also attended, including three former governors.

Both Gore and Alexandra Kerry made last-minute plans to come to the islands after recent media and internal campaign polls showed nearly half of registered voters in traditionally Democratic Hawaii were planning to vote for Bush.

Gore: Hawai'i could set nation's course

Former Vice President Al Gore swept into Hawai'i last night for a rally and Filipino concert in Kalihi, telling Democrats that Hawai'i voters could make the difference in whether Sen. John Kerry is elected president.

Gore, wearing lei and a barong tagalog, spoke to a loud and overflowing crowd of more than 1,000 people at the Farrington High School auditorium, describing Kerry as a decorated combat veteran and an experienced lawmaker who would be a more effective leader than President Bush.

"Hawai'i may very well have the deciding voice in picking the next president," Gore said.

Alexandra Kerry, the candidate's older daughter, greeted the audience with an "aloha" and a "mabuhay."
