The only thing that I can come up with is stimulus money, I imagine that Hawaii is getting a fair share of that and that must be pretty tempting for anyone, especially if they arn’t planing to compete for national office.
Are there any records of how much her state is getting, per capita, compared to say, alaska? I can guess, but I’d like real figures.

“I ... have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen,” Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino
I bet any birther 10 to 1 odds any amount of money that his BC will say birthplace “Honolulu” when revealed.
