2. Good Blue Hawaii news: Colleen Hanabusa's also ahead, and Daniel Inouye wins in a landslide

From KITV in Honolulu: http://www.kitv.com/politics/25616414/detail.html

HONOLULU -- Democrat Colleen Hanabusa is leading Republican U.S. Rep. Charles Djou in early returns for their race to represent urban Honolulu in the U.S. House.

Hanabusa, the president of the Hawaii Senate, held the advantage Tuesday in the fiercely contested race. A Hanabusa victory would be a rare Democratic defeat of an incumbent Republican as the GOP made major gains in the U.S. House nationwide.

Hanabusa, the first Asian-American woman in the nation to preside over a state legislative body, campaigned as a supporter of Hawaii-born President Barack Obama, who won 72 percent of the state's vote two years ago.

A story from UPI about Inouye:

HONOLULU, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The senior member of the U.S. Senate, Democrat Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, was re-elected to his ninth term Tuesday in a romp over Cam Cavasso.

Inouye, a World War II veteran who was first elected to the Senate in 1962, was declared the winner with 76 percent of the voter by CNN.

3. That's great news, because Duke Aiona is a hardcore theocrat...

the annointed (probably literally) New Apostolic Reformation candidate. You can read all about him and his associates here:
