Kerry wins Hawaii state caucus, Kucinich comes in Second

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry won over the majority of Hawai'i Democrats in last night's presidential preference poll, taking about 46 percent of the votes, according to preliminary results.

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, considered a longshot candidate, took second place in the poll with 30 percent.

With more than 90 percent of the poll votes counted, Massachusetts Sen. Kerry is expected to receive 12 of Hawai'i's 20 pledged votes in the Democratic National Convention in Boston this summer. Kucinich is projected to receive the remaining eight votes.

Preliminary results showed North Carolina Sen. John Edwards received about 13 percent of the votes, just shy of the 15 percent required to receive a delegate vote. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, who both dropped out of the race, received 9 percent and 1 percent of the vote, respectively.

1. Well how do you like that?

Good for DK!

We really need for the eventual nominee (and winner!) to include him in the cabinet.

3. That's a nice thought

Secretary of Health and Human Services, maybe?

OTOH, I wouldn't mind him coming home and being my Congressman again.
