Originally posted by Samurai123 View PostCombine that with persons who are pro-rail, but anti-Mufi (maybe they don't like his singing or his looks) then you have the makings of an upset. Anything is possible - that's what makes politics fun.
As I mentioned earlier, though, the bigger controversy is the chain-reaction caused by Kobayashi’s vacancy on the City Council. As KGMB9 reports, not is only Duke Bainum challenging Kirk Caldwell’s candidacy petition... the Republican Party is challenging Chrystn Eads’ punctuality. Personally, I think the larger scandal is how a part-time resident like Bainum (who returned to Arkansas after the ’04 election) got the inside scoop that Kobayashi would run for mayor.

Re: Honolulu Mayor’s Race ’08
Originally posted by TuNnL View Post.That would be a tall order. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you need 50 percent plus one to avoid a runoff. My preliminary prediction is Mufi 46%, Ann 32% and Panos 16%, with 3% split among the remaining candidates, and 3% blank votes. That would force a general election runoff between Hannemann and Kobayashi.
We'll see on primary election night.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

Re: Honolulu Mayor’s Race ’08
Anyone following this race? Panos's page presents his solutions but he doesn't really seem to have solid ideas on how to fund them, especially on one hand, he's attacking the tax increases, but then on the other, he wants to build his HOT with a myriad of underpasses. The federal highway fund is predicted to be in debt by 2009, next year. Not unless the fed gas tax is raised substantially.

Originally posted by Samurai123 View PostThe wild card is if the Stop Rail guys manage to get the issue on the November ballot. If that is the case the Mayor will go all out to win an outright win in the primary.
If AK is indeed only doing this just to spite Mufi, it's not like Mufi wouldn't do it too. To me, he's as arrogant and petty as any of the others. He tends to do that moke head bobbing and talk "smack" of those he ha....disagrees with. Never liked him from the beginning.
Personally, I think all the mayoral candidates su........are lacking.

Question - was it a spontaneous thing or well rehearsed in advance?
I hope he won't have to be singing "I'll Remember You" after the next election!
You can bet that most everything the Mayor does as far as public performance goes is rehearsed. I'm a singer myself, and I can tell you, not rehearsing beforehand is a recipe for disaster.
We should get Lingle to sing "Sweet Lady of Waihole", so she can help boost Hawaii's Ag industry.
