[newsguyatl]

cheney will campaign in hawaii sunday night, flying air force two there from new mexico, according to campaign officials...

the rally is scheduled for 11pm local time.

kerry's daughter alexandra will also go to hawaii on friday, speaking at a high school in farrington.

ha, this PROVES they're worried, and are scrounging for every last vote.

1. No bleepin way!

They can't possibly win Hawaii. Where's Leilani, we need some on-site intel. :)

[Confident]

15. I'll defer to DNC on that ...

they just put serious $ behind new Dem ads

[BootinUp]

18. Link to your claim?

Or is that just hot air?

[newsguyatl]

19. it's true, they just made a

$200,000 dollar ad buy in hawaii.

2. I just wonder wtf is going on there...

It's just impossible for me to believe that Bush could be competitive. That would be like Kerry being truly competitive in Utah or something.

Maybe they really ARE desperate...

[frank frankly]

3. it also proves that the best use of Cheney is to keep him on a plane

Cheney is TOXIC.

[ksoze]

4. It's the only place he could get "lei'ed"

[CarolynEC]

5. I'm rooting for the volcanoes!

[The Magistrate]

6. Excellent News If True, Sir

The long flight will be a strain on his health over and above the stress of the campaign and impending defeat; he will be up in the air for many hours, during which he can do no harm at all; and the effort is certain to be wasted in any case.

"My joy is my enemy's despair."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[American Tragedy]

34. That is an optimistic appraisal, Magistrate

But don't you find it disturbing that he has found cause to go there in the first place?

I was watching the polls and I could hardly believe my eyes. That state turned from dark blue to pink in about four days.

What the hell is going on out there? Was there a nationalist revolution or something? Any Hawaiians willing to shed a little light?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

7. GOOD. We need Hawaii.

:hi:

[Eric J in MN]

8. Gore won Hawii by 18 points. Neither campaign should bother (nt)

[iwantmycountryback]

9. Good

Better he waste time there. The long flight will waste even more time.

[DireStrike]

10. It's a fakeout.

Cheney can't change any votes and will most likely send them our way.

They just want us to take our eye off the ball.

[demwing]

11. Lame excuse for a vacation....

Everyone knows that dreams come true, in BLUE Hawaii!!

[swag]

12. One last junket on the federal teat for Bigtime Dick.

He'll expense that pineapple juice drinking fountain/bidet in his suite, I assure you.

[fishwax]

14. That's the ticket!

unca dick has only two and a half months of perks left. :bounce:

[AndyP]

13. electoral-vote says otherwise

27. Have you ever heard of SMS Research before? I haven't,.

Hawii will go to John Kerry, no matter who visits there this week.

[howgroovy]

30. Yeah

I'd like to see someone respectable do a poll before I get worried.

[RevCheesehead]

16. If it keeps him out of WI, let me be the first to say, "Aloha, Dick!"

[tomfodw]

17. That sounds weird to me, Hawaii has only 4 EV

[amandabeech]

21. Bushco needs to make up for New Hampshire somehow.

Seriously, though, there was a thread about this yesterday. Apparently, polls show it close in Hawaii. If Cheney's going off there, internal repug polls must be showing a surprise.

We need to send a few surrogates in there. How about Joe Biden and a couple of celebs from Hollywood?

[CarolynEC]

33. Al Gore is already scheduled to be there. n/t

[tritsofme]

22. Might be the darkhorse this year...

They might take Hawaii and we might take NH, both have 4 EVs.

Someone told me on a thread a few days ago that they really love NCLB or something like that. Didn't make sense to me, but a few people have said that.

[BootinUp]

23. NCLB?

acronym help please... :)

[tritsofme]

24. No Child Left Behind

if you can believe that...

[SW FL Dem]

25. No child left Behind. n/t

[BootinUp]

29. Duh! I knew that.

Boy, the Hawaiian punch is sellin good out there if that is the case.

[Generic Other]

26. Hawaii actually sounds like a great place to campaign

You might be losing, but at least the weather's nice and you get to wear Hawaiian shirts!

[MissouriTeacher]

28. Nobody "loves" NCLB.

Gimme a break.

[jor_mama]

31. I'm sorry, but the first thing I thought of

was that Cheney would be somehow trying to tout his daughter.

I realize that "we have a lesbian daughter, vote for me" is a stretch, but why the heck else would he bother going to HI at a time like this?

It seems like his time would be better spent campaigning in DC.

[West Coast Democrat]

32. Reminds me of the 2000 "California is in play" GOP scheme...

of course, it never really was in play.
