HONOLULU (AP) - Democrat Neil Abercrombie has been elected Hawaii's next governor.

Abercrombie will be the state's first Democratic governor in eight years, succeeding GOP Gov. Linda Lingle when he is sworn in on Dec. 6.

Abercrombie, a former 10-term congressman who represented urban Honolulu, defeated Republican James "Duke" Aiona.

Abercrombie's victory also made former state Democratic Party Chairman Brian Schatz the new lieutenant governor.

In Hawaii, candidates for the state's top two posts run on a ticket.

Aiona had been lieutenant governor.

This is for ya'll you so-called Republican Christian conservative's who thought you were smart by voting for Abercrombie in the primary to oust Hannemann because ya'll thought Abercrombie would be easier to defeat than Hannemann.Your blood will now be on your childrens head,because you had the chance to solidify the only true purpose concerning God Almighty in this election,which is Same-Sex marriage.If Hannemann was pitted against Aiona in the General you would'nt need to worry about Same-Sex marriage having a chance of passing by the Governor because you knew these two are strongly opposed to this issue,and Abercrombie is not.But now you have a very strong possibility of it passing if it reaches Abercrombie.For me nothing-else mattered in this election because God should be First.He is the Alpha,and he is the Omega.Because I dont care who's the Governor,or the President, things will never be the same or get better because of the simple fact of man's greed for material's cannot be satisfied.And the high cost of oil is the root of all this material evil.Most people are'nt willing to come down on their prices once they've had a taste of greed.God has never, and will never change.He is the same Yesterday,Today,and Tomorrow...It's the people who look for and have changed with their amended interpetation's of his Gospel to try to justify their action's with him.And again I reinterate,because of this your blood will be on your childrens head.And when the time comes for them to knock on God's door to ask to be let in,they will say unto God "but Lord we ate,drank,whorshiped,and sang praises to you in the temple,and the Lord will say unto them,"away from me all you evil-doers for I know not who you are".And if you believe that we are all automaticly forgiven,then you must believe they're is no Hell, because then there would be no reason for Hell? All I have to say to that is,"ya'll better be right...." P.S,when you leave this earth none of your material will help you.
