What are the chances of ousting Gov Lingle?

[AX10]

Hawaii is a Blue and Beautiful state. I'd like to see it back in the hands of the Democratic party.

1. We have not settled on a candidate to run against her. I would have to say

"not good at the present".

2. Why not?

Why can't you find a good person to run?

:shrug:

3. Hawaii law requires candidates currently holding office to resign to run

for another office. Democrats who have a pretty good chance of being re-elected may not want to risk all to go against Lingle and the RNC money she'll be getting.

That narrows the field a bit.

5. I'm with you AX10!

I'm moving to the Big Island in a couple of years and it would be so
nice if that tool wasn't around spewing gop stupidity.
