Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona is running for governor. Be very afraid.
As you can imagine, I'm not a fan of the guy. But as Doug White points out, the folks at the Honolulu Advertiser are being unusually harsh... or at least, taking the debate somewhere it doesn't need to go, considering Aiona's lack of anything remotely resembling political credibility speaks for itself.

I guess it's inevitable, and somewhat telling, given the longstanding snarks about Lingle's stature. But I think Aiona gives us a lot to make fun of without calling him a girlie girl.

Lt. Gov. James “Duke” Aiona is getting a three-year head start on running for governor in 2010. I hope Gov. Linda Lingle gives him time off from carrying her purse so he can campaign.
His tenure as LG has been more first-lady-esque than gubernatorial. All he needs is the Ramona purse dog and the Vicki fishtail mu'umu'u... He has three years to prove he can wear the pants and leave the purse dog to Vivian.
