WOW! Hawaiis governor ousted in stunning primary loss HONOLULU (AP) - A 40-year political career came to a close after Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie lost his bid for a second term in a stunning primary-election defeat by a fellow Democrat and state senator who defied party leadership to challenge the incumbent. A second intraparty fight for U.S. Senate was too close to call. State Sen. David Ige, once seen as an underdog, cruised to a decisive 35 percentage point win in Saturdays primary after being dramatically outspent by Abercrombie, who also had high-profile endorsements including President Barack Obama. Ige said his win proves that people power can be money power, especially in Hawaii.hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_HAWAII_PRIMARY?SITE=CATOR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-08-10-07-17-24
