Hey folks, this is my first time doing this.

I saw this poll online and was surprised that it had drawn enough attention from Democrats to put one of the 2 Dems in the lead (Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann).

Please Freep this poll for Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona, the Republican running for Governor, who is a solid conservative for family values, limited government, fiscal discipline and integrity of office.

Learn more about him at DukeAiona.com (very good biographical video on that site), but most importantly - please log in and vote for him! Thanks ahead of time

[Proud2BAmerican]

Thanks for everyone who’s voting already — the gap is narrowing! Please keep it up! :-D

Mufi Hannemann (D) - 41%

Duke Aiona (R) - 40%

Neil Abercrombie (D) - 19%

[Proud2BAmerican]

Awesome! When I posted this, Duke was trailing Mufi 41-34!!

[Proud2BAmerican]

Alright, we pulled ahead! Pro-life, small-government, family values candidate Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona is up 42-40 now --- keep it up, and BIG mahalos for everyone who took the time to vote!

Please do take a look at his Web site (www.dukeaiona.com) and consider supporting him, either with well wishes, prayers or donations --- we in Hawaii are very grateful to have him and have any of you who will be able to support him.

Also, follow him on Twitter at @DukeAiona2010.

Alright, well I helped you out. I doubt many people are following “The Fish” for their politics though, LOL.

What are the poll numbers looking like in Hawaii right now? From what I see, a early 2010 poll from the national polling firm Mason-Dixon Polling & Research found that Hannemann takes 41 percent to Aiona’s 35 percent, with 24 percent undecided.

[Proud2BAmerican]

Ha! Yes, I don't expect to see it reported in any of the local newspapers, but it's great to get some conservative support for this poll.

Aside from that Mason-Dixon you mention, there haven't been any reputable polls taken. We have a special election coming up to fill the seat vacated by Democrat ex-Congressman Neil Abercrombie, who quit to run for governor. That special election to fill his seat features Hawaii's version of Scott Brown - strong fiscal conservative - against two liberal Democrats. I think it will be a real indicator of how much the mainland Independents' dissatisfaction with Obama and his policies (and anyone connected to him) has traversed the Pacific to Hawaii.

Hawaii remains, anecdotally, still infatuated with Obama b/c of his connection to Hawaii (although that connection is more exaggerated by Hawaii than Obama -- Hawaii is always desperate to have anyone connected to it make a splash on the mainland).

Getting back to your question, I think Duke's focus on grassroots and emphasis on getting out a very motivated voter base will be the difference, as well as attracting Independent voters who favor his approach to government: limited, common-sense, transparency, integrity.

Aiona is great, but I’m afraid Hawaii is still pretty much a Democrats state. IMO, Hannemman is more difficult to beat, because if he’s the nominee then all pacific islanders (and some Hawaiians) will vote for him. Also, compare to English Professor Abercrombie, Hannemman is not that liberal that makes some in the middle at least are not afraid of him. Aiona was household name when he was still a judge, but for some reasons, Lingle didn’t really give him much opportunities to make him popular.

So hit it!



Retire the Hippy!

[Proud2BAmerican]

Unbelievable! Wow, it’s nice to see Duke where he belongs in that poll - on top! Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote!

[Chuckster]

Duke has been too quiet as LT Gov to get much traction. He is a Republican, after all, and this is Hawaii we are talking about.

IMO, Hanneman will get the race vote but the old commie Abercrombie is still very popular. BTW, calling Neil an english professor is a stretch. He has been in elected office at the state and national level for more than thirty years and there is no mention of his professorship in his bio (Although it does mention his Phd)

[Proud2BAmerican]

BUMP! Duke is up to 50% - can he go higher!?

[LeoWindhorse]

if you see this guy in person , he is a hunched over distorted dwarf like personality whom walks with the strangest of gaits.

[Proud2BAmerican]

He claims he can bench press his weight! BUMP

[LeoWindhorse]

well, when you consider all the BS he is full of ...
That’s quite a claim!
