Kucinich impressive showing in Hawaii


In last night's Democratic party primary caucuses, Rep. Dennis Kucinich made an impressive second-place finish with 30 percent of the vote, and won his first elected delegates. Kucinich actually won Maui with 53% of the vote to Kerry's 31%. Star-Bulletin story; Advertiser story.

As mentioned in these articles, a lot of new voters signed up with the Democratic party to participate in the caucuses. At my caucus location, many were young people who were probably voting for their first time, and I'm sure they would not have come out if not for Kucinich. Regardless of his chance (or lack thereof) to win the nomination, people felt that Hawaii had an opportunity to send a message in support of his vision of peace, and to say something about Hawaii at the same time.
