Thanks for posting this, Opihikao. The most interesting part for me was seeing Russell Ruderman try to calm the crowd when the organizers, Inouye and Ilagan, had apparently frozen him out of the process for political purposes. I'm finding more and more reasons to want our senator to be re-elected, and I never thought I'd say that.
Yes it's fun to send an outsider to the capitol and really stick it to the establishment. Consensus however, is a key ingredient to getting things done legislatively speaking.
By definition a representative from Puna is an outsider. The people who want Ilagan in Honolulu have their own agendas, which have nothing to do with serving Puna.
