Debate Results...

Here's my take:

Pre debate hype: Ed Case, being younger and an attorney will dominate over the kupuna and ex-teacher Daniel Akaka.

Post debate analysis:
Ed Case, well spoken but nowhere near as eloquent as I envisioned, and with a Bush like "stay the course" plan for Iraq.

Daniel Akaka, well spoken and one of the very few on Capitol Hill with enough vision, experience and BALLS to not approve The Idiot's plan to invade Iraq when there was no probable cause.

Winner: SENATOR AKAKA by a couple bike lengths!!!
And I just don't understand why Case decided to "cut in line" and try to disrupt the obvious transition plan of Neil Abecrombie then him to the US Senate. As in life, sometimes you just gotta be patient and wait your turn! Ever had the experience of patiently waiting in line and someone thinks their better than everyone else and decides to snake to the front???

Ttytt, I think it's going to be Akaka by a landslide as during my recent trip to Maui, there were TONS of Akaka signs and stickers all over the place, especially in Wailuku. Here is just one of the many.
