Damon, my last post was mainly a commentary on the Democratic Party in Hawaii. Ms. Hanohano is just a small, but locally important, part of that issue. I concede that I have not seen Ms. Hanohano at work in the Capitol, but the fact that she is "well received and very respected" by the powers that be in Honolulu is not a recommendation. I would rather they be pissed off at her for rocking their cozy boat, especially since they won't be sending any significant resources to Puna anyway. As far as her not being a "good old boy," take a look at her endorsements and see if they are any different from the "usual suspects." Your family loyalty is commendable, especially for an in-law, but it clouds objectivity.
Cheers,
Jerry
