KGMB9's political team looked ahead to the 2008 Presidential Election, with in-depth discussion and analysis about the current candidates, the latest from the campaign trail, and what Hawaii's vote means to the Race for the White House. Kim Gennaula and Keahi Tucker hosted the Campaign 2008: Super Tueday special, with analysis from Dan Boylan and key members of both political parties.

These videos are fairly long and may take a while to play through.

		KGMB9 News introduces Campaign 2008: Super Tuesday. We look at what the special will have in the segements as well as why Super Tuesday is so important. Rep. Lynn Finnegan and Honolulu Councilman Charles Djou represent the Republicans and Sen. Colleen Hanabusa and Brian Schatz represent the Democrats in this segment.

		In this segment, we look deeper into the Democrats with Congressional Rep. Neil Abercrombie representing Barak Obama and Sen. Colleen Hanabusa representing Hillary Clinton. They contrast their candidate and discuss their elect ability.

		In the third segment we look more in depth at what is needed to be nominated a candidate of the major parties and how Hawaii fits into the presidential races. If the race continues as close as it is at this point, Hawaii's delegates may be what pushes a candidate into the Nov. 5 General Election.

		Delegate counts get updated in this segment. We also discuss what was the biggest surprise in this election. Dan Boylan even admits that the analysts have been wrong in many ways in this election. We close with a little more insight on Hillary Clinton.

		In this segment we look into the local races. With a focus on the Big Island mayoral race. The seat is being vacated by Harry Kim after his term reaches it's limit. We also discuss mass transit and Mayor Mufi Hannemann's race.

		In our sixth segment, we look more into the state races with a focus on senate district 12. This race already has Brickwood Galuteria and possibly Duke Bainum looking at incumbent Gordon Trimble. We also discuss the Republican and Democrat positions moving forward into the election year.

		In closing, we update the numbers from Super Tuesday and reminders on what you can do to get involved in this year's elections.
