I never bought into the narrative that just because Inouye professed her to be his choice, that she automatically should have been appointed by Abercrombie. That somehow the choice of a dying man supersedes the Constitution of the State of Hawaii. Hanabusa had more than enough resources to win this race, that she didn't is a testament to the value of competitive, democratic elections.
The people have spoken and Hanabusa would do well to sit a couple election cycles on the sideline, somehow I think much like Mufi she won't.
I initially was skeptical of Schatz, having met him in 2008, but to date he has exceeded my expectations. I look forward to him continuing to do so and ably representing the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party in Hawaii.
