Why is Hanabusa so great?
Anyway, I like him as a VP although he doesn't really bring much geographical diversity to the ticket (I mean, Hawaii is diverse but it's not very helpful electorally). I guess his Jewishness could help in Florida.
Literally the only answer I hear is that Inouye should have had some sort of sacred beyond the grave ownership of his seat.
She sounds like she is a bit crooked... just from browsing her Wiki page (not to mention... probably not much of an animal lover!)
I saw Inouye sent a letter shortly before his death..to the Gov.. wanting him to pick Hanabusa- But it is obviously the Governors decision to pick the best person (which Hawaii must have agreed with since Schatz defeated her the following primary). And who knows what the reason or connections Inouye had to Hanabusa... as it seems a bit odd to write a letter requesting your replacement.
Again- I've not familiar with Hawaii Politics.. these are just a few observations based on a brief look.
