Paul Ryan Will Making A Campaign Stop In Waikiki Beach

Vice Presidential candidate Ryan, an orange-and-gold lei around his neck, made a personal pitch for Hawaii's four electoral votes late Sunday by flying 3,225 miles overnight from Ohio to Waikiki Beach and asking for them.


...

"I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by and say 'Aloha,' " he quipped to the delight of some 7,000 enthusiastic supporters at a midnight rally who waved flags, pom-poms and signs in tribute and booed lustily at the mere mention of President Barack Obama's name.



With polls in Hawaii showing the race between President Obama and Governor Romney too close to call, Ryan decided Thursday to add it to his tight schedule in hope of punching a hole in what has long been a Democratic stronghold in presidential races.

guess he decided he may as well milk the campaign coffers for all their worth here in the waning days.

He's about to have his ASS handed to him, so may as well soak up some aloha and work on his tan!

"relief" goods. Lucky for them the windows on the campaign jets open!

Look for cans of Chef Boyardee washing up on Waikiki any day now.

That have the bucks to even go to Hawaii on a "vacation"?

And, it's laughable how Coupon Care Man has been hidden away by the campaign.

That would be a great move on their behalf though. For next election, I mean.
