Hawaii

Outlook: Solid Democratic

4 Electoral Votes (4 in 2000)
Kerry won in 2004 by 8.74%

Hawaii, birthplace of Senator Barack Obama, has a strong Democratic heritage. The state has voted Blue in every presidential election since 1984 and in 2004 John Kerry won by a comfortable 9 percent margin. Hawaii’s senators and congressmen are all Democrats, a good sign for Obama in the Aloha State.
