Debate Coverage and Reaction
From www.Djou.com
Honolulu, HI - Daniel Son, spokesman for the Djou campaign released the following statement after the KITV Congressional debate:
"It is growing increasingly clear to the voters of Hawaii's First Congressional District that the only plan Colleen Hanabusa has is to take the rubber stamp she's been using for the past four years in the Hawaii State Senate to the United States Congress.
"Tonight she was unable to articulate anything the Congress had done in the past year that she would have voted against, she was unable to describe how she would encourage job creation and she continued to tout the success of the so-called 'stimulus' bill which has failed by the very standard its proponents set. The people of Hawaii deserve independent, fiscally responsible leadership, not a rubber stamp."

Debate: Djou 10 – Hanabusa 0
Hanabusa showed up unprepared and it showed when Djou asked her, “Can you name a specific bill that went before the U.S. House for final passage that you would have voted ‘no’ on.” Hanabusa, simply put, was stumped. “I don’t know of any bill, per se, at this point in time, because, quite honestly, I haven’t had the opportunity to look at it, to study it, and to be part of that process.”
If this was a Little League baseball game it would have been called early under the mercy rule.
