The Race to Replace Case

[LikaNui]

Not sure exactly when, but you can expect an announcement from Quentin Kawananakoa that he's going to run.

Re: Ed Case's congressional seat

I thought I heard something to that effect a couple of weeks ago.

So, any thoughts on the many others who've declared intentions to succeed Case? Last I read, many more had "said" than formally "filed." Is that still the case?

Re: Ed Case's congressional seat

The Office of Election's candidate report just got posted today here. Seems like the 2nd congressional race is filling up.

Re: Ed Case's congressional seat

Thanks, Pretender. Okay, so ten filings so far:

• Hanalei Y. AIPOALANI (D-Waianae)
• Daniel P. DE GRACIA II (D-Waipahu)
• Gerald M. GABBARD (R-Kapolei)
• Nestor R. GARCIA (D-Waipahu)
• Mazie K. HIRONO (D-Honolulu)
• Gary L. HOOSER (D-Kapaa)
• Ronnie C. MENOR (D-Mililani)
• Michael E. POWERS (R-Kalaeloa)
• Brian E. SCHATZ (D-Kailua)
• Joseph F. ZUIKER (D-Honolulu)

Lots of familiar names, lots of entries from the Democrats.

Re: Ed Case's congressional seat

I love Lee Cataluna! Last Sunday she wrote a column about how Ed Case had outlined the Top 10 things his successor for his Congressional seat should have. And surprise surprise surprise! The only person who seems suitable to be Ed Case's replacement is...ED CASE! The only criteria he seems to be slightly lacking is "long term commitment to the job".

Numberswise, it is no longer the “case.” *LOL* I still remember when Ed first ran for the State House against Toni Worst. It was truly a “Worst-Case” scenario. *ROFLMAO!* I see Quentin has miraculously recovered from the “health problems” that yanked him out of his last Congressional run.

Okay, all kidding aside, even with all these people running, the heavyweights are still undeclared. Colleen Hanabusa, Matt Matsunaga, Quentin Kawananakoa. As far as I’m concerned, the only candidate with papers filed that has any chance against these big dogs is Mazie Hirono.

The rest are marginal or no-name candidates. More than one candidate will crucify Ron Menor on the Gas Cap Bill.

Honolulu Prosecutor Peter Carlisle said he's thinking about running on Perry and Price this morning. Opinions?

Re: Ed Case's congressional seat

He's thinking about running on Perry & Price? Kind of a limited campaign, then.

Re: Ed Case's congressional seat

Perry and Price afford a very comfy joggin surface, I hear.

Unless he has health problems again, he'll make an official announcement on Sunday, April 23, 2006 around 1PM.

Re: Ed Case's congressional seat

Wow. Wouldn't that be too cool, though? Imagine having an ali'i representing the people of Hawai'i again. I hope that he has his medical conditions under control now.
