hussein gave Gov. Pothead the governorship for lying about “being there” for the mythical birth. He’s served his purpose so he’s been ignored all the way out the door.
Well I am going to blame gay marriage, not matter what they say!
I can’t believe how badly this guy lost!
Has any incumbent anywhere ever lost a primary by such a landslide?
The people have spoken and they said: WE HATE YOU! GET OUT!
The author seems quite upset that Inouye wasn't able to pick the successor for "his" seat. The nerve of the Governor in picking the person he wanted.
this whole thing is a giant LOL. Big news??? a liberal democrat beat out a hippy liberal democrat ....NOTHING CHANGES. All these local races here are liberals beating liberals. Not a conservative in the state is doing well. Hawaii is totally owned by the Liberal Democratic Party. Period.
pass the popcorn, the rats are jumping ship.
Hawaii is a very unique situation.
So, what's the big news here? Nothing has changed.
Was this a “Hitler vs Stalin” leftist showdown or what?
The news would be if a tea party dem defeated the gov in the primary. I guess the tea party is not active there.
A big part of this Goobernatorial race in Hawaii is the mass transit rail fail.
I do not know anything about the person that ran against Abercrombie, but I bet he is further to the left, and he was elected because of his ethnicity.
Race/culture is a factor. Whites are in the minority and a variety of Asian descendants (Japanese, Phillipino, Native Hawaiian, etc) are in the majority. IMO, a large percentage tend to have a positive view of big government.
That said, this is a stupendous loss for the hippy. Schatz is a political hack that barely beat out Colleen Hanabusa. How did Abercrombie lose so badly? He seems the farthest left of these leftists and likely the most incompetent.
Ah, but how will this effect the race for Obama’s Presidential Library? That is prestige and money!
