1. This is clearly a power play by the powers that be to forever conceal Obama's "birth"

Bwaahahahahhahahahhahahah :D

2. Absolutely!

3. Abercrombie is pro civil unions while Hannemann is not.

Ed Case who gave us such grief running against Akaka several years ago and helping turn the 3 way race to succeed Abercrombie into a GOP win has STRONGLY endorsed Abercrombie.

This helps Abercrombie with Case's moderate voters.

Case is redeeming himself very nicely after dropping out of the Democratic primary to help Colleen Hanabusa out against Republican Djou.

4. Could you please clarify?

Abercrombie is pro-civil unions and anti-full equality, and Hannemann is anti-both, is that correct?

5. I only know he is pro civil unions because he was asked specifically about that issue

After Gov Lingle vetoed the civil unions bill.

I imagine he is pro gay marriage because he is pretty liberal but I can't say for sure.

Lt. Gov. Aiona seems moderate in temperament but ideologically he is a strong Christian Values guy in the republican tradition.

Hannemann is a Mormon, not that all Mormons are against gay marriage but he is.

6. Thank you.

My knowledge of Hawaii politics is faint, bordering on non-existent, so I am always glad of information.
