Well, I can’t believe the Hawaiians will elect that fat, greasy pig Abercrombie as their governor...

"...This is great news. It looks like it was a rout, too..." By the people who supposedly know Obama best.

This is not really encouraging. The two rats combined got nearly 60%. In November when it comes down to R vs D it’ll go back.

Djou received 67,274 votes, or 39.5 percent.
For once it was the democrats who had a spoiler for their own party. This should be a lesson for the repubs......

Maybe it's those who are sick of D.C. vs. those who can live with the status quo. We may never know if the msm convinces Djou that the "liberal base" is how he got elected like they've apparently done with Brown.

If I only thought the GOP would be worth a damn in the majority, I would be happy. One of us is telepathic. I couldn't agree with you more. Too often they're just the right wing of the Democrat Party.

But....but..but.....Nancy Pelosi and the MSM all said that the republican surge was DEAD and STOPPED after tuesday’s special election in PA-12. They all said that any momentum the GOP had was promptly stopped in PA-12 and the dems have NOTHING to fear this November. /s

I agree. Djou is probably toast in November, unless bitterness over the Hanabutta/Case feud lingers in the communist party. But the machine/union thug dynamic will probably keep all the commies in line to serve their plantation masters by November.
Still, it is a nice slap in the face to that filthy hippie embarrassment, Abercrombie. That alone makes Djou's victory something to celebrate.

Call me a pessimist.
This sounds good in the short-term. A Republican won, where Republicans rarely win.
However, the Democrat vote was split and the Republican did not win a majority, only a plurality. There will be another vote in November of this year with one Republican vs. one Democrat. Odds are that the Democrat will win.
Similarly, Republicans are cheering the defeat of Arlen Specter. The polls show that, for Republicans, the best outcome would have actually been a Specter win in the primary, because he polls much lower in a general election race than the democrat that beat him in the primary (Sestak).
It's nice to win the battles, but the war is more important, and we're not doing as well as we think.

“Great win, my only concern is that the Dems got over 60% of the vote but they were split.”
Kind of like the Repub/Conservative vote in NY-23.

Not sure about that, Hawaii is famous for re-electing incumbents to office, plus Djou is a very popular politician in his own right.
