Abercrombie, Case in lead

Hawai'i's two Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Neil Abercrombie and Rep. Ed Case, hold commanding leads over their Republican challengers with a week to go before the election, a new Honolulu Advertiser Hawai'i Poll has found.

Abercrombie leads former television and newspaper journalist Dalton Tanonaka 62 percent to 28 percent among likely voters in urban Honolulu. Case is ahead of Honolulu City Councilman Mike Gabbard 62 percent to 24 percent among likely voters in rural O'ahu and the Neighbor Islands. The poll, taken between Oct. 13 and 18 by Ward Research for The Honolulu Advertiser, has a margin of error of 6 percentage points in urban Honolulu and 5.5 percentage points in rural O'ahu and the Neighbor Islands.

No Hawai'i incumbent who has served a full term in Congress has lost a re-election bid since statehood.

I say good. The arch-wingnut anti-gay bigot Gabbard doesn't deserve to represent Hawaii.

On Maui, I see Gabbard signs everywhere. But I understand that his supporters are an extremely vocal minority.

And I don't believe that Bush has a lead here in Hawaii.

1. I have seen no indications that Bush is even close to winning Hawaii.I get

around Oahu almost every day.

2. Hawaii's only Representatives both kicked ass on election day. Over 60%.

3. Thank you God! And Neil, Ed and Dan!

But if you look at the numbers on the election page, our percentage lead has decreased by 30% since the 2000 race. The far right has organized and mobilized and it's time we do the same, starting TODAY.


and BTW Cam Cavasso, thanks for all the lovely phone calls. BWAHAHAHAHA
