Anyone want to help get out the vote in Hawaii?

[Perky]

haha. Damn this one was supposed to be safely in the Blue,,,but two polls have Bush a single point ahead.

1. There were polls in 2000 that showed NJ competitve.

HI is ours.

5. I think you are right

but I have a hankering to be sure...haha..all I need is the right company....haha

It was a joke honest

[Cha]

2. I'm about two years too early..

I'm moving to the Big Island in 2006 ..so in 2008..I'll be there for Kerry's second term and set those Hawaiians straight!

3. Love to but I don't think I can handle the airfare.

Damn!

:o

[Cha]

4. I wish Kerry had time to go just to

show them he cares..He really should send someone brilliant there.

It's so far away but they need to know they are not taken for granted.

The Honolulu Advertiser endorsed Kerry..they should read the reasons why!

6. I'll betcha they have. Mahalo, from one houlie girl who knows

how to hula, ancient and modern.

8. Good for you..I never did that but

it's fascinating to watch the native Hawaiians dance.

It's Haole by the by B-)

9. Thank you! I couldn't remember that spelling to save my life..

obviously. And it didn't google well.

I had to have a special dispensation to dance the "Hawaiian War Dance".

I'm a direct descendant of Captain Cook. Kind of dicey, but we got it.

10. Wow! Interesting!

"Special dispensation"! Did you live on the Islands for awhile?

I googled Hawaiian pidgeon because although it didn't look right ..I couldn't exactly remember:think:



Here's a link to Honolulu Advertiser endorsement and the DU thread that had it..

12. Pidgeon! That was it! I couldn't remember. Been a few years.

I actually met many locals here in Las Vegas.

We bugged the c(&*p out of a guy whose mother was a hula instructor (I forget the Hawaiian term). So I was the only Haole of the first four of us. They were worried this white girl had no rhythm. Fooled 'em.

We did performances around town. At one performance I heard a woman lean over to another and say "She's not Hawaiian."

Gee, you think she was talking about this blue eyed, red head? LOL.

My mother said I "stuck out like a sore thumb." Yay, mom.

It was a lot of years ago. I miss those days. But, occasionally, I get to freak out someone who thinks this white girl can't dance.



:P

And thanks for the link. I'll check it out.



:hi:

7. Well.. I can comfort you.

One poll sampled Republicans and Dems by 42R-31D. So there's your explanation for that one.

And the second poll sampled only those living on Oahu. They left-out the other 1/3 of the population, which is overwhelmingly for the Democrats.

Hawai'i is ours.

11. Thanks! Who is giving us these polls that

favor repugs? Oh, that's right..repugs!
