Linda Lingle, Hawaii's version of Christie Todd Whitman.
Since she was a former Governor, you'd think she'd at least run a competitive U.S. Senate race, but I recall that the RAT cruised to victory against her.
Her Senate race was a rematch of the 2002 Governor’s race. Epic fiasco.
Just as an aside, I still strongly favor Hawaiian independence (or a move to commonwealth status). Sending 4 Communists to DC, especially the 2 Senators, is appalling. To have that sort of disproportionate impact in our national decisionmaking (let alone having Inouye formerly close in line to the Presidency) is simply wrong, especially for a small island group thousands of miles from the mainland. If Alaska ever went full-on communist, I’d make the same argument for cutting them loose.
