An email:

Our early numbers aren’t that great but that’s the absentee votes. Lines

were very long here today and people were still voting over an hour after

the polls closed (if they were in line at 6:00 they got to vote). It may be

a while before we get good numbers. On the bright side – the more

’conservative’ mayoral candidate in the hotly contested Honolulu County

mayors race is ahead which should be good for us.

As for my 5 year olds take on it all:

upon going to pick up our mail today at the Print Shop where we have our

mailbox. My 5 year old daughter announced to all who would listen that “we

are voting for George Bush. John Kerry doesn’t have a plan!”

Much Aloha
