A Republican candidate has prevailed over a crowded special election to represent President Obamas Hawaiian birthplace in the House of Representatives. The victory of Charles Djou, a Honolulu city councilman, was not a surprise, but it served to bolster his party as it seeks to chip away at the Democratic majority.
The special election was called after Representative Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, announced last year that he would resign before completing his 10th term in order to focus on his candidacy for governor.
Mr. Djou beat out 13 other candidates with 39.5 percent of the vote in Hawaiis First Congressional District, which encompasses the Honolulu metropolitan area and gave Mr. Obama 70 percent of its vote in 2008.
Charless victory is evidence his conservative message of lowering the tax burden, job creation and government accountability knows no party lines, said Michael Steele, the Republican Party chairman, in a statement.
But Democrats hoped to restore the seat in the November general election. If he runs for a full term, Mr. Djou could face either Colleen Hanabusa, the State Senate president, or former Representative Ed Case, who previously

Night and you
And, Blue Hawaii
The night is heavenly
And, Djou are heaven to me....
Nice try but no cigar for the New York SLIMES!
TANK SLIMES, TANK. I will dance at your bankruptcy hearing!
NO ONE knows where Obama was in fact born, Obama has made sure of that.
LIES, LIES, LIES
Good catch...
Instead of saying Hawaiian “home-state” like they do with every other politician..... the media made sure to put Hawaiian “Birthplace”.
Five months isnt enough time to show the voting public you deserve a full term when they are dedicated Dims.
The good thing about it though is that the DNC will dump a bunch of money in to Hawaii to reclaim the seat. It leaves them less money to spend in districts where we really have a chance of winning.
when Charles comes to DC from Honolou naybe he can bring the disputed alleged birth certificate that is so elusive to the American People. Lets exhume Grandmother Dunham, maybe it was buried with her. By the way Obozo who is your daddy? Answer the question my mother gave birth to me in which hospital in kenya and my grandmaother forged the signatures in Hawaii to grant me some type of citizenship. I Obozo do solmenly swear that I was born in Kenya, and that I am not a natural citizen and I will from this day forward renounce my throne from the Obozo regime. Thanks Charlie for bringing us this unexpected windfall. In America we can finally get rid of of Obozo the Clown
Maybe. Maybe not.
His grandma (not the typical white one, the other one). She says 0 was born in Kenya and that she was there.
That's good enough for me.
so, only the people of PA 12 and NY 23 are stupid enough...
New York Slimes at its "best".
You can't pick up a copy without ropes of mucus sliming your hands.
Obama? Born in Hawaii? I wonder who his doctor was?
Blue is really Red (Leftist Red) and Red is Blue. It changed in the 2000 presidential election.
Shame on you. I just lost my lunch. (He he he)
First Lady Sasquatch would kill for thighs like that, lol
