Hawaii’s Akaka Not Running Again

By: proudgop (Diary) | March 2nd, 2011 at 08:55 PM |

RESIZE: AAA

Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-HI) announced that he will not run for re-election in 2012, theHonolulu Advertiser reports.

Even though its an opening its still gonna be tough for Republicans. Our best bet will probably be Fmr Gov Lingle or Fmr Congressman Djou but even then they face tough odds in a state Obama is still popular in.
