My father's entire side of the family lives in Hawaii. I've personally met Senator Akaka and Rep. Abercrombie.
And honestly, the best answer I can give as to why Hawaii is so heavily Democratic is because most of the population is concentrated in Oahu around Honolulu, and thus in an urban center. In addition, as Niles said, the Asian approach to live is extremely difficult for most Americans to understand, but this approach heavily favors Democrats because we commit ourselves to toleration of others and helping everyone.
Some choice Confucian quotes that my grandmother likes to say are:
"Ideal people are universal and not clannish. Small minded people are clannish and not universal"
"to be poor without bitterness is easy, to be rich without arrogance is hard."
And my personal favorite whenever Iraq comes up:
"Few lose out on account of prudence."
