Where The Hawaii Senate Race Goes From Here
By Chad Blair 08/13/2012
In the race for Hawaii's U.S. Senate seat, it's one person versus an entire party.
Yes, Linda Lingle will have the support of the minority Hawaii Republican Party in the general election and a whole lot of mainland money.
But her opponent, Mazie Hirono, also has the backing of national interests as well as the dominant Democratic Party of Hawaii.
As evident in competing press availabilities Sunday morning, it can seem a pretty lopsided battle line.

Time to put Linda Lingle in a shallow political grave

In all fairness, her political career was already over so it's not much of a loss.
