Inouye: Concern among Hawaiian Democrats about Djou
Inouye: Concern among Hawaiian Democrats about Djou ^ | 5/4/10 | Kerry Picket

Republican Honolulu Councilman Charles Djou became a thorn in the side of the Democratic Party when two Democrats running against him in the three way special Congressional election, former Congressman Ed Case and state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, run the risk of splitting each other's vote. There is no primary in Hawaii and the race is a winner takes all election, so Democrats are scrambling to make sure Mr. Djou does not benefit from their party split between two candidates.

Colleen Hanabusa is going to drop out and be nominated for the Hawaii Supreme Court or something.

Neither of the two Democrats actually lives in the District they are trying to represent.

She can drop out, but this is a month long mail in ballot campaign, so all the votes that have already been case for her can’t be taken back.

Djou is another conservative candidate I’m sending $20.10 to in support of his campaign. The RNC called me asking for support today and I had the pleasure of telling them “no”, I will support the individual candidates I believe support conservative principles.

Even if this happens, votes cast for her are then gone from the vote pool; they don't get converted for the other Democrat--well, in Chicago they probably would.
