thought it was okay to get so many people mad at him.. not a good way to get a second term if that's what he wanted.

From what I remember he was a good Rep for Hawai'i for many years and then he gets in the Gov's seat and worked his way into getting voted out in the Primary by another Dem. We'll see how David Ige does.

I do like his former Lt Gov that he appointed for the Senate, Brian Schatz.. he's much more Progressive than Colleen Hanabusa. I so hope he ends up winning in this very tight race going on right now!
