Aloha!

Today E Ho`omua Hannemann filed its campaign spending report and the news is good – more than $1million was collected in the last reporting period, demonstrating again that there is strong, statewide support for Mayor Hannemann to become Hawaii’s next mayor.

Our efforts continue to gain momentum and we’re so grateful for the help and support of people like you.  But as you know there are many miles to go in this race and we’re going to continue to need your kokua and the help of your family and friends.  Please visit E Ho`omua Hannemann :: Mufi Hannemann Exploratory Committee 2010  to sign up as a volunteer, add your name to our petition urging Mayor Hannemann to run for governor or to donate to our efforts.

Whoever is sent out this email would have been wise to proofread it.

Apparently he seems to be leaning towards Mufi Hanneman according to the blogs.

How strong is an endorsement anyway?

Abercrombie makes many statements either mentioning his connection to President Obama or using the President’s historic campaign as a frame of reference. But given the split on the President’s policies among the people, it may hurt more than help.

Abercrombie’s campaign logo is a modified version of Obama’s with “NEIL” inside the familar circle or “O”.

Piggybacking off such a popular campaign may seem unoriginal to voters.

However, it did help Mayor Billy Kenoi of the Big Island, perhaps. Kenoi’s slogan of “together we can” can still be seen on bumper stickers across Hilo.

After 8 years of Republican Governance- recycling the slogan “new beginnings” may be more helpful.
