I’ve been following the search for a new Mahalo Daily host for awhile now and already had a favorite before today’s episode. Lucky for me the gun toting babe was the cute redhead Andrea Rene I was already rooting for.

She chose as her audition episode topic “How to shoot a gun”. While we didn’t learn much about how to shoot, it was fun watching a totally new shooter doing it for the first time. Her “Mahalo” in the final credits is worth watching the whole video.

The guy from the LA Gun club was a little too street for me, but he did teach her the four rules. Well he taught her rule 1. I assume they just didn’t show the rest.

But he didn’t teach her a proper grip, that was painful to watch.

A 9mm Berretta is the easiest gun to shoot? Huh? What about a 22? Then he recommends a revolver for the 70 year old grandma. What a young woman like Andrea would find that harder to shoot?

Ok, the point of this post isn’t to critique the gun guy, but to get you to vote for Andrea Rene.

They had various challenges for 20+ contestants and narrowed it down to 6. Those six each get to produce one show. The contestants get to pick what topic they cover. Then they write and produce the sample show.

Andrea chose how to shoot a gun, which seems a brave choice to me. My take is Mahalo Daily’s audience is very much high tech, silicon valley, northern California people. I.E. very liberal. Talking about shooting wouldn’t be very politically correct for that crowd.

Andrea Rene has the skills for to be the new host. She’s a red head which would get me to vote for her on its own. Then she chose shooting a gun for her topic. Which made me so happy I wrote a whole post to get people to vote for her.

Her fate isn’t completely in the voters hands, but it will be influenced by it. So go to Mahalo Daily and comment on how great she is.

UPDATE: For my pro-gun readers, if this comment doesn’t make you comment for her nothing will. “Sorry, absolutely nothing against Andrea, but I wouldn’t continue to watch Mahalo if this was the kind of featured subject matter.”
