The employees of Civil Beat won't tell you this, but I will:  If the Democrat Party spend any more energy than it already does "helping Democrats beat Republicans", there'll be no more Hawaii GOP.  Halverson should check the scoreboard before whining to his pals at Civil Beat that a Republican resurgence is under way.  It seems like Chad missed whatever the REAL story is here, since the number of elected Republicans continues to shrink while the number of elected Democrats continues to grow.  I almost get the feeling that Halverson was given Chad's publishing password on the CB website, since Chad was too busy to review Halverson's nonsense press release.
