Kerry Wins Three, Kucinich Second in Hawaii


In this Tuesday's voting, Kerry outpaced Edwards 55 percent to 30 percent with all precincts reporting in Utah. Complete returns in Idaho showed Kerry with 54 percent and Edwards with 22 percent. With 99 percent of precincts reporting in Hawaii, Kerry had 50 percent to 26 percent for Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich and 17 percent for Edwards. Kucinich lagged in single digits in Utah and Iowa.

Officials printed 5,000 extra ballots in Salt Lake City to accommodate the demand. "Three blocks from Temple Square and there's a giant line of Democrats," said Blake Sarlow, waiting to vote. "It's the craziest thing."

Kerry is expected to take 12 Hawaii delegates and Kucinich will take the remaining eight delegates to the national convention in Boston in July.
