I think you could put any news headline there with the same reaction. Same problems, same players, same answers.

I like Duke. I voted for Duke. Howeve, his time has passed. Lets put in someone who truly cares about the Hawaii people, the constitution, lower taxes, less regulatioms that strangles business and growth as well as real transparency. The one party system has put us all in a bad place with crooked politicians that is very real. VOTE Heidi Tsuneyoshi.
