Brian, well I hear the final count was only 5000 thousand votes on the govenorship. I think the Lingle/Peters association may have been critical. Must apoligize for the Fasi mix-up. Frank has done so many things its hard to keep up with him. I think his endorsement did Ciatano no harm. There are an easy 10K Fasi fanatics in Honolulu. I was talking to a good friend last week end and she was tellimg me childhood stories about living in the Sugar Plantation camps in upper Pa'ia on Maui. It is a central memory she carries with her, it's her heritage. Now she works for a major corporation, has a Ph.D. and her daughter never spent a day in the camp that probably is gone now. But the feelings are there in the family, and they have the deepest of roots. I know lots of highly educated people in Honolulu who have very similiar backgrounds and who share that emotional tie. who can say how that effects elections. regards, mnmuench

Cayetano got in by 1% the people have spoken .... half connected to the system.... the other half are disconnected .... the connected ones ... won keep in mind that not all union vote went to Cayetano ... maybe all of the HGEA ... but a lot of union boys are out of work ... the equation wasn't so simple ... I wish the best to the new democrats as they end nepotism, racism, and corruption ... for the sake of all of Hawaii may they win out and we can all wipe our tears dry ... Long live Hawaii for the Hawaiians and their vistors ... may there come a day when the racial visitors of Hawaii stop yelling out that they are the "locals" and may they stop castigating the other visitors with their misguided cries of "haole" control of years ago the soul of Hawaii is dead ... pray that the Hawaiians and their good-hearted visitors can bring it back, void of racial and despotic political control....
