Not sure I agree with your claim that Hawaii is over 70% conservative, unless of course you can define what you mean by conservative. If you take religion out of the picture, I might say yes. Certainly people here are hard working, believe in law and order, respect family and rights of others, believe in fiscal responsibility, and, most importantly for this discussion, strongly believe in respecting traditions, the old ways that have always worked, while welcoming, cautiously, new ideas. But in no way do they fit the model of some mainland christian conservatives who would force their religious beliefs on all others through political force.
