Republican Charles Djou has won a Democratic-held House seat in Hawaii in the district where President Obama grew up.
The special election is the latest battleground in the fight for control of Congress in the midterm races.

At least his alleged hometown. Kind of like the way Gore lost Tennessee in 2000.
There’s no house seats in Kenya...
Doesn’t mean this is an anti-Obama year, nope, move along, nothing to see...
I thought in their story that Obama left Hawaii before he was two. Judging by the way he acts when he does not get his way, I guess that’s as grown up as he got.
If this is not an anti-Obama year, explain to me why so many Democrat candidates up for election or re-election are avoiding endorsement by or appearance with POTUS Barack Hussein Obama at campaign events throughout the country. It appears that many Democrats feel an “Obama” endorsement is the political “kiss of death”. Kindly explain.
I see someone needs a humor transplant.
Democrats' terms under which Ohaha will campaign for candidates:
(1) No Obama photos with candidates.
(2) Obama does not stand too close to candidates at rallies.
(3) Obama does not mention Democrat, and the candidate's name, in the same sentence.
(4) Obama does not mention healthcare and if he has a cold or a cough, he stays in the WH.
(5) Under no circumstances will rally entertainers sing or play, "Chicago, Chicago, that Toddlin' Town."
(6) No foods served with hot sauce.
(7) All contributions from the DNC are returned unopened.
LOL...That’s what I was going to say....Wonder if Barry ever got around to buying his brother that “Hut Sweet Hut” sign??
Who’d ever figure Dear Reader’s Hawaii HR district is more conservative than PA 12.. Way to go PA!
It's not. The Democrat in PA-12 is just a better liar.
Go look at his issues page. Despite being Murtha's chief of staff for 12 years, this guy claims to be Pro Life, Pro Second Amendment, Pro Domestic Energy Develop, Pro Military and Anti Obamacare.
Odd that the Dem in PA12 ran as Republican!
If Critz were really so conservative some left wing Dem probably would have jumped in to challenge him.
In Djou’s case, he did pretty well. Took 40% of the vote. I am guessing Abercrombie’s previous opponents did not take as many votes. He might have a shot at winning a full term in Nov. if it is a GOP leaning year.
Beat me to it.
Waitress, could we get some more coffee here please?
The Dems profess to not being worried about taking this seat back in Nov and they’re probably right. It’s a Dem district through and through and the primary reason the Republican won there is because two Dem candidates split the vote. Still, it does have entertainment value and can be used to embarrass Obama.
That’s a great line.
I love it.
and 'SERIES'
He’ll probably lose in November if the Democrats get their act together.
Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charles has a great chance to retain the seat this November if he can get some of the Ed Case anti-Hanaboozher votes.
