Pahoa? Of course
Thursday, August 10, 2006 at 07:38AM Poinography blogger Doug White asked readers to submit questions for a dozen candidates vying to fill the seat being vacated by Ed Case. On a whim, I asked whether they had ever been to Pahoa. Only two, Democrat Gary Hooser and Republican Quentin Kawananakoa, responded.
Hooser said:
"Yes of course, many times. If you drive through Pahoa you will see many “Hooser” yard signs. Pahoa is on the way to Kalapana’s famous black sand beach. I have friends who are proud graduates of Pahoa High, home of the Pahoa Daggers."
Kawananakoa replied:
"Yes, I have, and I love the place. I have family living all across the Big Island Kona, Volcano, Ka’u."
Several other questions of greater substance were asked and answered. Read Kawananakoa's responses here, and Hooser's responses here. Too bad the others invited did not respond. Those others, who will be on your ballot for U.S. Representative, Congressional District 2, are Democrats Hanalei Aipoalani, Nestor Garcia, Colleen Hanabusa, Clayton Hee, Mazie Hirono, Matt Matsunaga, Ron Menor, Brian Schatz and Joe Zuiker. Bob Hogue joins Kawananakoa as the only two Republicans making a run for the seat. Robert Wilcox of Lahaina is running as a non-partisan. All of the other candidates listed are from Oahu.

Thanks for the links!
Lots of BIG issues. I hope others will put forward questions -- at this point I will put one question+ :
Would you vote for articles of impeachment against the President, Vice President, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Defense? Would you introduce these articles of impeachment?
