Neither Linda Lingle nor Charles Djou has arrived at Republican headquarters, but the mood is festive, with food and live entertainment from musicians John Kauwenaole and Jimmy Suza.

A survey of supporters shows the crowd is optimistic.

Coyde Burchill is here to support Djou. “He’s very smart, very educated, very fiscally responsible,” Burchill said of Djou. “He really cares about people, and he’s a good family man.” When asked whether he thought Djou would be able to win, he responded that Djou “has a very good chance.”

Clifton Jenkins is a supporter of both Djou and Lingle. “We got to get this mess out of Washington,” Jenkins said when asked why he is supporting Lingle. He also mentioned that he was previously on active duty in the military and thought Lingle had handled herself well as governor. “And after watching the debate between Lingle and Mazie Hirono, who could support Hirono?” he asked. He’s confident that Lingle will win. “She’s got this,” he said.

Eileen Asing attended the event in support of Lingle.  “I think she has a good chance of winning … She was more respectful and less vicious than Hirono [in the debates],” responded Asing, when asked about Lingle’s chances and why she might win.  Asing thinks that the debates helped Lingle.

Chad Wolke gave his support of both Lingle and Djou. “Close, but pretty good chances,” replied Wolke when asked about their chances at winning.  “She ran a really good campaign. … She will be the better senator,” said Wolke.

David Chang, chair of the Hawai‘i Republican Party, gave an update to the crowd around 7:30.

“Technically, the first readout should have come out half an hour or 45 minutes ago,” said Chang, relaying the troubles at various polling locations. He also noted that the first readout generally favors Democrats because they tend to vote early or absentee. But he encouraged Republican supporters to remain positive. “We’re still in this for the long haul,” he said.
