HI-GOV: Hanabusa Announces

[Indy Texas]

Why would anyone want to spend all their time commuting between Hawaii and Washington, DC, when you could be living in Hawaii?

^^^

I agree, she's probably sick of all the commuting, and maybe doesn't feel good about Dem chances at winning back the House. Probably would rather be the executive of a state that heavily favors her party, and doesn't have to commute, than to be a minority party backbencher in DC.

I didn't think about that. You're resetting your clock five hours forward/backward twice a week. To say nothing of the insane amount of time spent on airplanes.

Do Hawaii's representatives come home every week like everyone else? It just seems like an absurd demand to make.

I really wish there was a Mormon Democrat who wasn't Mufi Hanneman who could run for Hanabusa's House seat.

Mormon Democrats that aren't blue dogs are great. Reid + the Udall's are pretty much it though.

Mo Denis (one of Reid's many proteges, and the one I wanted to run for Senate), was pretty good too. It's honestly my quest to watch each and every Mormon Democrat running for office, anywhere in the US.

Except for Mufi Hanneman, he's still awful.

Do you not like his job as HLTA? Or his programs for the Honolulu rail project and homelessness while Mayor? Or his support from AFL-CIO?

I really don't get why you don't like him.

He's got a reputation for conservatism in a place that really doesn't need it, and is a perennial candidate.

You'd think she'd primary Hirono instead, given her health issues...try to force her out of the race.

lol. NEVER become a political strategist. By running for Senate, not only would Hanabusa get crushed by Hirono, she'd permanently destroy her reputation. As opposed to running for governor, where she's favored to win. Her age would make governor a more fitting job than senator anyway, considering how much Hawaii cares about seniority.
