My Rep in Hawaii(Mazie Hirono) Announces for Senate..

[Cha]

Senator Daniel Akaka is retiring in 2012 and there will be an open seat in Hawaii. I saw a headline the other week that stated Linda Lingle would run if she has a "strategy for victory"(read lying her head off)..I got a little sick since she's a rw tool who was the two term Gov before we got our current Democratic one, Neil Abercrombie.

Gov Abercrombie campaigned against two unpopular issues Lingle was responsible for.. "Superferry" and "Furlough Fridays" ...

Officials with the first passenger-vehicle ferry between major Hawaiian islands canceled plans to resume service to Kauai, despite a partial court victory and an announcement by Gov. Linda Lingle that the ferry would start up again next Wednesday.

Hawaii Superferry officials said late Friday that the decision was made “for the safety of the community, our passengers and our dedicated employees.”

The announcement came a day after more than 1,000 people jammed a public meeting on Kauai with Ms. Lingle, a Republican, who tried to sell the project to island residents. Opponents shouted her down, calling the Superferry a threat to the environment and the island’s rural charm.

Two months ago, we learned that Senator Daniel Akaka will be retiring from the U.S. Senate at the end of his term next year, after more than three decades of distinguished public service. I know you join me in thanking Senator Akaka for everything he has done for the people of Hawaii and wishing him and his wife, Millie, the very best.
Since then, I've heard from so many people across our great state — and longtime supporters like you — encouraging me to run for his open seat.

Thoughts and well-wishes have come from every island: I'm humbled and inspired by the support I've received from Hawaii families.

So inspired that today, I am announcing my candidacy for United States Senate. We've fought some tough fights together in Congress. And, together, we'll keep fighting for Hawaii in the U.S. Senate.
