“I voted for Mitt Romney,” says Marvin Scharosch, 73, a retired Hawaii Kai resident. “I think he’s honest and has the best chance to beat Obama.”

Is he discouraged that his candidate finished third in the two southern primaries held earlier today?

“I’m not discouraged,” Scharosch replied, who added, “I came here to do my civic duty.”
