Crossover too



Shortly after running our Crossover article, another House candidate has bolted the Republican Party. Frank I. Aquino ran unsuccessfully for a house seat in the last general election -- the GOP's worst performance in history. Aquino was also a staunch supporter of the GOP's Babauta/Benavente ticket.

Seeking to serve the public, Aquino has decided to make another run for the legislative seat as an independent candidate. Comparing the Republican Party to Universal Studios, Aquino says, "it looks good, but only on the surface."

This latest turn of events following the GOP's decision to drop former representative David M. Apatang from the precinct 1 slate and the party's decision not to hold a primary election between two senatorial aspirants could very well spell another GOP split and perhaps even the demise of the once ruling political party.
