Democrats Face Trouble in Hawaii Special Election

The Republicans shouldn't even be playing in the Hawaii special election for the House seat opened when Democratic Rep. Neil Abercrombie decided to run for governor. But it's a sign of the poisonous political atmosphere for Democrats that a GOP candidate has a chance at seizing what is arguably President Obama's hometown House seat.

Send money to whichever democrat is falling behind.

I just made a contribution to Charles Djou for U.S. Congress and I’m hoping you will do the same. You can donate by going to

What, did Boama make Kenya a new state? It says something about Bioama’s home town.

[FormerACLUmember]

“Fears are so high they’ll split the vote that some Democrats are quietly urging Obama to ask either former Rep. Ed Case or state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa to get out.”

Expect criminal activity: a huge bribe by Obama to Case or Hanabusa.

Go Charles Djou - and every donation that you make, “CC” Harry Ried in NV so that he will know what is coming and not of a heart attack on election night when returns come in!

So now we have 58 states?

[mountainlion]

I don't think Boama is going to tell us.

[mlocher]

He does not have enough fingers and toes.

[mountainlion]

I don't think he can count that high. There are a lot of things that we do not know about Boama.

I don't think he can count that high. There are a lot of things that we do not know about Boama.

But maybe the teleprompter can tell him how many.

The Republicans shouldn't even be playing in the Hawaii special election...

And why 'shouldn't' they?
Who the hell writes this crap?

[Grams A]

Sent some $ and send email to friends asking them to contribute.

[Clintonfatigued]

A victory in Hawaii would be a real coup.

[MNJohnnie]

If they have to work this hard, and spend this much money, in their safe districts, they are toast in the swing seats.

[Impy]

Well it ain’t exactly a “safe” rat seat. It’s the more Republican of the 2 Hawaii seats. It has been held by the GOP in the past by Pat Saiki 1987-90.

Obama won it huge.

But in 2004 George Bush got a meaty 48% there. And in 2002 and 2006 Republican Governor Linda Lingle carried the district.

In 1996 the rat Amberbrombie nearly lost.

Our guy here Djou is unfortunately not polling well to win a one on one race. But the good news is there are 2 rats running in this all party ballot special election. So Djou doesn’t even need 40% to win.
