Did Hawaii have a party on election night?

Like, what do you mean 'have'?
This party won't end soon!

Oh yeah. But I meant one to match the one in Chicago.

My wife and I had a couple of drinks at Outback Steakhouse. I'm pleased about the outcome but my wife is ecstatic!

Sadly her brother, believing all the falsehoods about Obama, sees Obama's victory as the start of America's downfall. I'm trying to get him to see it as a positive thing.

There was a victory party for Obama at Pearls in Ala Moana Center last night! Oh, and lots of individual election night parties.

You mean, a crowd of 240,000 in one place? In Hawaii?

No, not quite THAT big. We're saving that kind of turnout for Foreigner on New Year's Eve...

As I recall, there used to be really great street parties downtown, when the streets were closed off and many people came to whatever celebration was going on.

I don't like crowds, so I went to the McCain and then to Nader HQ.

Still are...
St. Patrick's Day...
First Friday...

So...nothing was planned for election night in Hawaii. Shame, all things considered. Maybe in January.

Our polls closed at 6 p.m., some still had lines, and minutes later Obama was declared President-elect. I spent the evening surrounded by local political celebrities, even went to the Pearl Ultra Lounge, but I would have rather ushered in the winds of change in my living room surrounded by my family.

Actually, you'd never know there had been an election, except the quiet smiles and talk's of relief and happiness that our butt's may finally be out of the fire, but still not safe.
A lot of cautious/hopeful 'wait and see'-ism.
But, it's clear that most non-whites are very happy with Obama being elected.

Maybe if you start planning now, Hawaii could have a big party in January.

Our last voter in the precinct I was working was thrilled, thrilled, thrilled to be voting for her choice for president. (I can guess who it was!) Even though we have to hold on to the last voter so they can sign off on the poll closure, she was even happy about that.

On the other hand, there was a lady who was furious she couldn't vote on California's Proposition #8. She insisted that it was a nation-wide referendum and began screaming at us because it wasn't on Hawaii's ballots. Sigh.
