Hawaii | Cheney "Cooks Kerry's Goose" in Hawaii

Dick Cheney, the first major party candidate to stump in Hawaii, addressed a crowd of about 9,000 in Honolulu:

“If you want my opinion, John Kerry’s goose is cooked,” Cheney told hundreds of cheering supporters in this Republican stronghold, where voters at military bases backed George Bush 2-to-1 in the 2000 election.

Hawaii, normally a strong Democratic state, suddenly finds itself in the spotlight as a battleground state this year.

Point of historical accuracy: Richard Nixon campaigned in Hawai’i in 1960 in fulfillment of his misguided promise to campaign in all fifty states. This cost him about a day’s worth of time going to Alaska and Hawai’i which could probably have been better served had he gone to Illinois. ;)

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
