Akaka-Case National Journal Ratings Show Strong Differences
Check this out, from a posting to this blog, comparing the National Journal Ratings (a liberal to conservative vote comparison) of Senator Dan Akaka with his primary challenger Congressman Ed Case:
Yet another reason to back Akaka.
By the way, many people are saying the reason that the Lieberman/Lamont race garners so much attention is because of the Iraq war. They should start paying larger attention to the Hawai'i primary. The contrasts between Akaka and Case are just as strong. Case rubberstamped Bush's war in votes during June, and Akaka was one of the 13 good Senators who voted for the Kerry/Feingold amendment calling for a withdrawal of troops.
Case:
2004 LIB -- 2004 CONS
Economic 61% -- 38%
Social 64% -- 35%
Foreign 58% -- 42%Akaka:
2004 LIB -- 2004 CONS
Economic 90% -- 7%
Social 82% -- 0%
Foreign 99% -- 0%

No-one would mind if Akaka decided to run as an Independent if he loses the primary, right?
As an incumbent, it's his due.

eli, if what you are trying to say is that Senator Akaka is like Senator Lieberman, you are soooooooooo wrong. Lieberman votes like an independent anyway, while Akaka does not. Read the rest of this blog for more details about his views on Iraq, for example. Unlike Lieberman and Ed Case, Senator Akaka did not rubberstamp Bush's war in Iraq.
