Abercrombie close to ’06 decision

U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie says he is close to making a decision on running for governor after spending the weekend in Hawaii weighing his chances.

While stopping short of declaring himself a Democratic candidate for governor, Abercrombie told the Star-Bulletin yesterday he has had a lot of encouragement.

"I will make a decision shortly. This is not something that is going to hang on," Abercrombie said.

"(Gov.) Linda Lingle can and should be defeated for re-election. That is the fundamental premise, whether or not I do it," Abercrombie said.

"All I can say is I am very grateful for the kind and insightful and provocative thoughts that have come my way," Abercrombie said.
