Beyond all the "good and bads" she has certainly "served Hawai`i" for a long time - and is the best candidate - to suddenly - "land in this position and know where to go and how - upon landing". 

Just to add a "little spice" - why doesn't she run this time as HANABUSA - SOUZA - it has a new ring - now that she is a townie - looking for new constituents - to - "Get Her Back" - like her husband in the wings - apparently willing - to do it all again - she deserves it - EO WAI`ANAE - HANA HOU!!
