Victories in Hawaii would be the ultimate kick in the pants for Obama personally. I hope we get it. Electing Duke Aiona and Charles Djou should be a top priority for that reason alone.

[Dacula]

Yeah, but the RINOs in charge of the “current” Republican party will deem him less worthy and therefore cast “all” of their remaining power to try and defeat him.

he must not succeed!

[Hostage]

All he has to do is call the Tea Party a bunch of racists and the GOPe will fall in love with him.

[P-Marlowe]

Of all the states in the union that should be protective of States Rights, you would think Hawaii would top that list.

[Catsrus]

Didn’t Hawaii have a female Republican governor before Abercomie? (sp) If I’m correct - I think she was a huge RINO. For some reason the name Linda comes to mind - (not Graham).

[Catsrus]

Duke sure is easy on the eyes!

Hawaii,, a bastion for libs for years,, under assault..

UH oh.. Pele wants more virgins sacrificed

But few are to be found..

[GeronL]

I don’t care. Those “Republicans with a chance” are all liberals, right?. I am not going to expend any time thinking about it.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Obama will offer some carrots to HA to keep it blue.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Clintonfatigued. It’s a three way race?

[Tanniker Smith]

It’s Hawaii and not as strategic to their plans ... Unless those plans have to do with having GOPe fact-finding meetings in Hawaii.

Linda Lingle.

This guy was her Lt Gov.

He lost last time out after Lingle’s two terms.

That means more female votes.

[Dacula]

That is Exactly what my GOP Rep said to me...

Duke Aiona is the man who "will win, can win," and supporters in the audience apparently agreed. "I feel so confident right now," Aiona said in a pavilion lit by tiki torches, nestled in a valley on Oahu's North Shore. "This is a statement in and of itself, to have so many people here supporting the Republican Party."

Nice you're confident, sweetheart----but you guys better keep an eye on the Dems---the voter fraud machine is going to be at Mach One speed.

Agree. Native Hawaiians would know better than I would how likely that is to happen, but it seems like it would play well with many there.
