Roll Call ^

[SMGFan]

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, will have a limited choice of successors to appoint to succeed the late Sen. Daniel K. Inouye. According to Hawaii election official, the governor will choose from a list of three candidates submitted to him by the state Democratic Party. The appointee will serve until November 2014, when a special election will be held to fill the final two years of Inouye’s current term.

War hero, really nice person, loved by most people in Hawaii but lousy left wing Liberal, party line only, robot.
will be replace by the same.

[fish hawk]

Our other Hawaii senator Akaka, just retired so now both will be replaced. Akaka is replaced by Maisie Hirona, a left wing liberal progressive yes man (woman) to the Democrat party. Total mindless party line idiot.

Is it true that only his fellow democrats are permitted to actually voice your other Sinator’s name?

[fish hawk]

Yes and who ever they pick , Abacrombie, our far left wing Governor will give him or her his stamp of approval. Hawaii’s government State, Federal, and almost all local counties etc. are almost all democrats. Maui has a republican mayor, a good one too, but he is the lone ranger republican here.

Does it make any difference?

Wouldn’t Linda Lingle at least have a chance to take the seat?

[fish hawk]

Linda Lingle just ran for the retiring Akaka’s seat and lost by a landslide to Hirona. Linda ran as an Independent as running as a Republican is a lost cause here. Yes, she was governor in the past but that was unusual for Hawaii.

Bye bye, Danny... thanks for your 50 yrs as Senator!
