Mike Gabbard and his 2004 campaign for congress

For those of you that don't live in Hawaii, Mike Gabbard is the gay communities local version of the anti-Christ. When he ran for state senate this year, most gay people I know turned their noses up and said he would never win. Well, surprise to you folks living in State Senate District 19, you can call him Senator Gabbard. Scary, eh?

I came across his campaign contributions from his failed bid against Ed Case in 2004 and found it interesting the sources of the money. Embarassingly enough, I actually know a couple of these names.

Top 150 Donors/Individual Financial Contributors to the Political Campaign of Mike Gabbard.
