I think Akaka's reasoning was that it was a deal with Frist -- he votes for ANWR drilling, and Frist votes for the Hawai'i Recognition bill (aka the "Akaka bill")...

this "Akaka bill" is a piece of work, by the way... totally shameless Realpolitik if you ask me...

hope it was worth it... the Uncle Tom...

as for Mary Landrieu I wasn't surprised. I mean, it's either her or a Repug but sheesh, some party discipline please??

As for Inouye I don't know much about him other than that he's a war hero and, now, a party traitor. Shame on the lot of them.
