Hawaii caucus to feature Clinton, Obama, Edwards

Advertiser Staff

The three leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina -- have paid their filing fee to the Democratic Party of Hawai'i and will participate in the party's Feb. 19 caucuses.

Florence Kong Kee, the party's political director, said she also expects U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, who is popular among progressives in the Islands, to file with the party.

The caucuses are for Democrats but people who are not registered with the party can sign up on or before Feb. 19.
