Please see my posts #s 12 and 21 on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1511749/posts
Did a search on "Linda Lingle" and "native son" hoping to find a half-remembered article/news item in which Gov. Lingle was calling BO a "native son" of Hawai'i (as opposed to "natural-born" son). Where had I heard that one?
Came up instead with letters to the editor (Honolulu Advertiser and Star-Bulletin), pre-election I think, of people complaining that Lingle was hinting that Obama's ties to the Island were tenuous at best. They tried to explain it away as Lingle's being partisan/favoring the McCain/Palin ticket.
I still think Lingle knows something and it comes out in what she does NOT say.
The thread you listed refers to a 10/2005 post on Cheney ?
with no reference to Linda Lingle ? I tried it twice ?
