Opposites attract!

OK, I'll bite.

To me this is an exercise in thinking outside the box, so far the State senate race is the one that may force me into voting outside the box. I really wanted Tony Marzi to give Hanohano a run for her money, but he hasn't been much of a presence in the race and time is running out. Singer is unqualified and as a non partisan, would have no power in Honolulu to help his district, even if he did get elected. The only person lonelier than a Republican in the Hawaii legislature is a non partisan.

Marlene Hapai is someone I have met personally in her professional capacity as a science educator. At lunch one day at a training for secondary teachers that she taught, we had a long talk about her experience at the Republican National Convention, and about political party dynamics in Hawaii. She had some interesting perspectives on how the state and county are run, and on the history of politics here. I know her to be an intelligent, focused, and educated person with great people skills and a long history of observing and participating in politics in Hawaii.

Singer is an immature kid who I would like to see try again at a more introductory level like county council in a few years, and Hanohano has done nothing at all for this district in all her years in office. If it comes down to Hapai or either Singer or Hanohano I don't know what I will do, but I could end up supporting Marlene Hapai.
