“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Hawaii Senate seat safe for Democrats

Speculation was that the 80 year old Democratic Senator from Hawaii would step down, leaving an open seat for Democrats to defend.

Today, however, Sen. Daniel Akaka announced he still has more to do for the people of Hawaii and will run in 2006.

Not only is this good news for the people of Hawaii, but for Democrats as well. Akaka should be re-elected fairly easily, which will help divert money from defending a seat to taking one over.

Pina coladas on me.
