Wow Albert!  Sure glad you are not biased! An authority you are not, and neither am I, but Dan Inouye had much to do as no one could run effectively against him. People in Hawaii tend to vote the candidate with the d next to the name, even if they no nothing about him.  Also the Japanese are such a strong voting block that some candidates, in the past, have add a Japanese middle name that is bogus.   Some have been caught and some haven't.  And how do you know GOP don't wish to run competent campaigns or would rather dwell where you say. How condescending.  You are showing your liberal  elite thinking.
