1. I will be voting in a few hours. Dan seems to be the fave

Polls show him in the lead. In my mind, Case did not make his case.

Time will tell

Aloha,

Come, we go drink

Komo mai inu

2. Hawaii voters head to polls for primary

Two recent polls showed Akaka with a substantial lead among likely Democratic voters, but many people were undecided, and Case could benefit from Republicans and independents who take a Democratic ballot in the open primary.

"Because this is the hot race, you're going to see a lot of crossing over," said Ira Rohter, a University of Hawaii political science professor. "A lot of them are going to vote for Ed Case because they want to get someone who's less liberal in there."

Akaka held more than a 2-to-1 advantage in fundraising, collecting more than $2 million to Case's $817,000 early this month.
