As a Recovering Texan, I can add a few things that the Big Island is lacking that make it attractive. These would include rattlesnakes, sandstorms (windy days at Hapuna Beach don't count,) higher property taxes, the frequently mentioned extreme heat, voters who would still probably go for Bush if given another chance, and a muddy ocean. I might have added drunk cowboys, but I've spotted some of those near Waimea, and besides, they can be fun under the right circumstances.
Cheers,
