Case Concedes to Akaka in Hawaii Primary

Rep. Ed Case conceded defeat to Sen. Daniel Akaka in phone call late Saturday after voters in Hawaii's Democratic primary gave the liberal incumbent a wide lead.

Case conceded the race when returns showed he trailed by a margin of 55 percent to 45 percent with roughly two-thirds of the expected vote counted. Akaka had 87,102 votes compared to Case's 71,712.

In the governor's race, former state Sen. Randy Iwase won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination over Hawaiian activist William Aila. Iwase will take on Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, but she is expected to easily win a second term. (sadly)

The race for Case's congressional seat developed into a free-for-all, with a dozen experienced candidates seeking the nomination.

Former Lt. Gov. Mazie Hirono held a lead late Saturday over state Sen. Colleen Hanabusa in the 2nd Congressional District, but Hanabusa was ahead on vote-heavy Oahu with two-thirds of the vote still out. The primary winner is favored to win the general election, keeping Hawaii's congressional delegation all Democratic.
