Once again, I'm dismayed that when the potential vacancy was announced, it was the same old names, same old faces, and same old egos that were trotted out in the local media for another look. I would like to see some new faces and new ideas that represent the spectrum of concerns of Hawaii's voters and let those philosophies and individuals compete in the marketplace of ideas providing voters with genuine  choice. I also agree, especially for contests involving national representation, that an ideal candidate would be a person who will be around long enough to acquire real influence through the seniority process.
