Hawaii GOP Senate candidate opposes Blunt amendment

On Tuesday, Lingle held a fundraiser at which Blunt was a “special guest.”…

Late Tuesday, Lingle campaign manager Bob Lee sent out a statement hitting Hirono’s team for launching a “personal attack” against his candidate and saying that the former governor does indeed oppose the Blunt Amendment.

“If the Hirono camp had done its homework, it would have known that Governor Lingle and Mazie Hirono share the same position on the Blunt Amendment — neither supports the broadly crafted language of the amendment,” he wrote. “But this is where the comparison stops. Governor Lingle knows it hurts the state of Hawaii to make the kind of personal attacks Hirono has made against United States Senator Roy Blunt.”
