<snip> "Abercrombie, a friend of Obama's father from their days at the University of Hawaii, invoked the president's message of change throughout his campaign, calling for "A New Day in Hawaii."
"A new wave of hope and change is coming to Hawaii, and it starts tonight," Abercrombie said in his victory speech. "This is about the people of Hawaii and a new vision for Hawaii's future."
Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, compared the loud cheers at Abercrombie's party to what she heard two years ago. Hawaii's support for Obama was greater than any other state, giving him 72 percent of the presidential vote.
"The party hasn't been this wild since my brother's election," she said in her introduction of Abercrombie.
Abercrombie and Hannemann waged a spirited primary that may have turned on a flier Hannemann sent voters that compared the candidates' birthplaces, the universities they attended and their wife's ethnicities."<more> http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100919/ap_on_el_gu/us_hawaii_governor>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100919/ap_on_el_gu/us_hawaii_governor
