I’m surprised to see the HI race listed as a tossup. I suspected Djou profited from the Dems infighting and would go down easily.
While he did benefit from 2 Dems splitting the vote, he is now an incumbent with a lead in cash on hand. It also remains to be seen how long it takes for the old wounds to heal among Hawaii Dems.
You’d think similarly about Joseph Cao in LA-2. He won the special election for William Jefferson’s (of freezer cash fame) old seat. It’s a district that went about 75% for Obama. But current polls show Cao comfortably ahead of any Dem. primary candidate. Incumbency does has its perks and Cao is in a high profile situation because of the oil spill so he’s in the local press a lot.
