How bad can it get for Democrats? Example #5,671 (Republican is ahead in Obama's Home state)

What would you say if I were to tell you that a Republican was ahead in a special election House race in Hawaii?

Yes, you read that correctly. In Hawaii, Republicans are usually as rare as hens teeth. But the dissatisfaction with the Democrats runs so deep, that even in the bluest of blue states, the GOP is very competitive.

How competitive?

Republican Charles Djou has climbed 15 points in the polls since January and is now ahead in the deep blue state! Charles Djou is currently leading the field in the latest polling. Djou held a "money wave" today for his campaign. He was hoping to raise $100,000. It looks like he will make it. You still have time to donate to his campaign for Congress.

UPDATE: Djou raised $105,888 in his money bomb exceeding his goal by $5,888!

The special election is May 22 so there is still a long way to go yet. And the winner of this race will have to run again in November. But make no mistake, a lot of Democrats will be sweating if Djou can pull this off.

Nice one, LOL.

LOL, I should have said “ADOPTED” state, but then you would counter with “Indonesia”. I just can’t win here.

Kenya is probably one of the “57 states we have visited”.

You're saying Djou is a faux conservative? How so ?

Why are Democrats so dominant in Hawaii? Never having been there I don’t understand. What’s the deal?

[GonzoGOP]

Sorry misread thought it was Obama's home seat, meaning the Mark Kirk. He is a "Republican" and is well ahead in the race. Tolerable on the budget, but he is slightly to the left of Mao on social issues.

Answer: Race.

I thought there was a pretty high Japanese American population... guess they’ve forgiven FDR, eh?

[dangus]

Sure, just like most black voters have forgiven the Democrats for the KKK. KKK:Democrats :: IRA:Sinn Fein

Added to my FB page. Maybe he’ll get more donations.

Hawai’i going Republican would be a coup de grace.
