Did a quick search of Tupola and she was against the same sex marriage law in Hawaii.  That is not a deal breaker, but she needs to channel the late John Burns and say she is deeply religious and neither agrees nor understands same sex marriage, HOWEVER she will clearly state and back up her words to not allow her personal religious beliefs to get in the way of her decisions as governor of Hawaii.  Burns was a devout Catholic but allowed abortion rights in Hawaii to become law.  IF Tupola is like Aiona & runs her political campaign based on religious fanaticism of anti gay, anti same sex marriage, anti immunizations and choose a paster running mate as lieutenant governor, she might as well give up now like McDermot as she will lose.
