1. Hawaii is a lost cause for the repukes but

I still hope they'll waste their money their so that they'll have less funding for other elections.

2. The Chamber of Commerce is spending $ in HI according to the article

I hate that organization.

There's actually a book out there that documents the way in which the Chamber of Commerce has been attempting to buy Washington and its politicians for the last half a century or more since the end of World War II in an effort to undo all of FDR's achievements.
