Linda Lingle governor of Hawaii also said this:
Lingle’s visit comes a couple of weeks after McCain’s opponent, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama joked with the Tribune to “Keep in mind, I’m somebody from the West first. Hawaii is about as far west as you can get.”
“That’s a stretch, come on,” Lingle said after addressing Republican volunteers, adding that she didn’t think Obama’s comments were genuine. “Hawaii is a very different part of America.”
Lingle added that “Obama spent only a few years in Hawaii during his high school years, and that his claim of Hawaii as one of his home states is disingenuous.”
She also stated that practically nobody in HI knew him or had heard of him prior to his run for the Senate.

Kind of like nobody would much remember George W. Bush’s Connecticut years even though he was born there. In a poll, 88% of those polls thought that President Bush was born in Texas. They were wrong.
