Former Gov. Ben Cayetano and First Lady Vicky Cayetano were among the honored guests at the David Ige for Governor election eve party. Cayetano endorsed Ige early in the campaign, a real plus for the relatively unknown candidate, who won the Democratic nomination in yesterdays primary election. Waimanalos Uncle Joe Tassil, Hawaiian Homes Commissioner and a member of the huge `ohana Kauaua, was one of the guest speakers for Ige. And heres Carmen U`ilani, whose quartet performed at the rally, with First Lady Jean Ariyoshi and my former boss, Governor George Ariyoshi, who first talked David Ige into getting into politics a quarter of a century ago and whose endorsement of Ige made such a big difference in yesterdays win. With the support of two former Governors -- George Ariyoshi and Ben Cayetano, David Ige easily upset the Democratic incumbent, Neil Abercrombie. In November, David will face GOPs Duke Aiona and Mufi Hannemann, the Independent.
