摘要

Whatever its outcome, the governor's race in Hawaii would have pleased Patsy Mink in one respect. Both the main candidates are women, only the second time this has ever happened in America. Ms Mink, who died in office last month at the age of 74, was the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress, in 1964, and an ardent fighter for the underdog. For many of the Hawaiians who filed past her coffin as it lay in the state capitol earlier this month, Ms Mink embodied the best of the state's Democratic tradition. That tradition is now being tested, for the opinion polls give a small lead in the governor's race to the Republican, Linda Lingle, a former mayor of Maui County, blames the state's lousy economy on the Democrats and demands change. Mazie Hirono, the Democratic candidate and currently lieutenant-governor, has responded by adding "responsible change" to her promise of continuity with the past. Democrats have held sway in Hawaii since before it became a state in 1959. Japanese Hawaiians, who had come to work on the islands' plantations and who fought for America in the second world war, deeply resented being excluded by the plantation owners. In 1954, they voted pretty solidly for the Democrats, and have not deserted the party since.
