I personally find it shocking and amazing that Schatz, who was supposedly almost as unpopular as Abercrombie, will apparently retain and win the nomination over Inouye’s heir apparent Hanabusa. If he wins in November (and outrageously, the HI GOP gave this one a pass with a desultory opponent), he’ll be the first White Senator elected since Oren Long drew the short term in the 1959 statehood special. Frankly, the state GOP should ask Cavasso to step down and put up a credible (and preferably Asian or Native Hawaiian) candidate.

Of the 6800 voters in the 2 precincts that failed to mail in ballot (about 1400 did) only 1500 votes were cast and Schatz increased his lead slightly to 1,769 votes. Another electoral victory for Hawaiian Jews (Lingle is Jewish).

The Hawaii GOP’s failure to get a decent Senate candidate is criminal, pull a Walsh Cam Cavasso, pull a Walsh. Actually I think it’s called pulling a Torricelli.
