Since statehood, Hawaii has been dominated by the [[Democratic Party]].  [[John Kerry]] carried the state electoral vote in 2004 and the entire Congressional delegation is made up of Democrats.  The [[Republican Party]] has made some recent progress with the current governor being a Republican. There is also a small separatist movement on the ialands which wishes to have Hawaii secede from the USA and form an independent Hawaiian nation.  Proponents of this course argue that Hawaii was illegally annexed and should be "restored" to nationhood.  The overwhelmingly majority of Hawaiians do not support this view and the separatists remain a small but vocal minority.
