#1 Alaska will probably go for Bush, but we have a very hot senate race going now between R. Lisa Murkowski and D. Tony Knowles. The airwaves have literally been smoking with political ads, like chemtrails, heh heh.

#2 What does the polling say about that race, AP? I heard that the Dem is ahead...

#3 Knowles ahead of Murkowski about 48 to 45. The outcome will depend upon who screws up least before Nov. 2, some pundits say. This will be a tight one. The stakes are enormous.

#4 They have dispatched political operatives

Pick me, pick me. For two weeks in the tropic sun I'll pretend to be a Skerry supporter

#5 The Bush/Cheney campaign should exploit this opportunity immediately. Send Jenna and Barbara to give speeches and play pickup volleyball games at Waikiki Beach this weekend. Arrange lots of media coverage.

Please!

#7 I read somewhere...that the DNC in Hawaii had taken to handing out Michael Moore's DVD to likely voters. That dog don't fight when a good portion of the main islands are inhabited by Navy, ex-Navy or someone who knows someone in the Navy. Also,you might be surprised at the number of Vietnam Vets who reside in Hawaii...That was a jumping off point to Vietnam...as well as a return gate. A significant number made their homes there...
for what it's worth.

#9 Hawaii's economy has been in the tank since Japan melted down years ago. More than anything, Bush is probably benefitting from their first economic upswing in more than a decade.

#10 Part of the swing is a huge retired military population. Many may be from traditional Democratic backrounds, but Kerry sticks in their craw......
