I thought it would be good to have a thread for any Hawaii Island and State election news and opinion that isn't about Council District 5.
We have a 3 way governors race between a well known Republican who is closely identified with the Lingle administration, a former Honolulu mayor who won't take no for an answer running as an Independent, and a relatively unknown Democrat who spent pennies per vote to beat the incumbent, but has virtually no war chest at this time, and the main reason he won the primary was because he isn't Abercrombie (who reminds me of a garden gnome every time I look at him.)
I think this could be an interesting race: will Mufi be the spoiler for Aiona, or for Ige, or be irrelevant? will Ige get enough donations to compete? will enough voters go for Duke that we end up with another Republican governor?
I have seen or heard no advertising or opinion polls yet, but we don't have TV, so I might just be missing it.
