One day to go - Hawaii will vote Obama

With one day to go, Hawaii will vote for its own celebrity frontrunner, Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

Hawaii has a history of voting Democratic, and the state has a personal connection to the candidate.  Hawaii has also felt the pressure from the poor economy and sees hope in Obama's plans for America's future.  There are actually speculations that Obama's trips to Hawaii to visit his grandmother could help tourism there.  Democratic Senator Daniel Inouye has been voicing support for Republican Senator Ted Stevens, claiming injustice in his conviction and saying that he will keep his Senate seat.  However, this is not expected to turn the Hawaii election for McCain.

Democrats in Hawaii are planning celebration parties for Obama's expected victory.
