This is a soap opera.

One day he's the contender and the next he's not.

But it appears, with multiple sources reporting, that Norm Chow has now become the leading candidate to land the Hawaii job.

Clearly anything can change and, as we've seen the last 48 hours or so, it has, but it seems a decision is close to being made and that Chow's name will be on a deal that could go out in the next day or two.

With this development, the fact I fully expect Chow to take the job if offered, I think I need to move us to CHOWCON 2.

Hopefully it's only temporary - but, it's not looking good.
