Midweek's Bob Jones chimes in with tidbits on the Hawaii politician we hear from now and then, Ed Case.
Case still sends out periodic campaign-esque e-mail newsletters (even without a stated campaign), is presumably still fundraising (for something), and turns up in the news and at public events fairly often. But considering how large he loomed in Hawaii politics not too long ago, the relative silence is deafening. Or maybe I'm just not listening in the right corners?

Case may run for governor. He admits that. But he really wants to be one of our U.S. senators. He’ll not confront Inouye in 2010. He knows he’s unlikely to make the Democratic Party’s list of three that Gov. Lingle would be required to pick from if there’s a Senate vacancy by death or resignation. He’s in party purgatory for running against Akaka. So he’s prepared to wait until 2012 and run for Akaka’s seat - again.
