I prefer a younger choice personally so seniority can be built up. Either Esther Kia'aina or Brian Schatz. Either would do fine but getting down to cases I prefer Esther. She is very smart and has a nice vibe. Then again, I am not a Hanabusa fan, as an outer islander, I feel she is to O'ahu centric.
The best thing is it looks like it will be done by Friday, in fact maybe today. I'm also not a fan of Hawaii News Now, but frankly its all we have anymore. There aren't many good journalists these days.
