It’s a little early to begin assessing who’s ahead in the Hawaii gubernatorial election sign race, because after all, the Hawaii primary election is still about two months away.
However, I did a preliminary sign count on the route along East Manoa Road from my house to Manoa Marketplace, as I always do during elections.
Democrat Mufi Hannemann, who just resigned as Honolulu mayor to run for governor, leads with five signs (plus two used by roadside sign wavers). Democrat Neil Abercrombie, who cost taxpayers $670,000 for a special election when he resigned his U.S. House post to run for governor, has just one sign. Republican Duke Aiona, current lieutenant governor likewise has just one sign (but it’s a pretty big one).
The “sign-count along my route” method seems to predict election races quite well. For now, the score is 7-1-1 in favor of Mufi.
We’ll see how it goes as the election day draws nearer.
