6:54 p.m. — Union T-Shirts Crowd Buffet Line at Caldwell HQ

By /

Navy SHOPO shirts and firefighter tees are the apparel of choice at Honolulu mayoral candidate Kirk Caldwell’s headquarters at Aloha Tower Marketplace.

The four-man Hawaiian band is playing as TV crews prepare for their first interviews of the evening. 

No sign of Caldwell yet, but it’s still early in what will likely be a close race against former Gov. Ben Cayetano.

Meantime, most of the roughly 200 supporters seem content feasting as they watch newscasterss declare Obama winning re-election on two giant projector screens.
