HONOLULU (AP) -- Republican Charles Djou (duh-JOO') has won a Democratic-held House seat in Hawaii in the district where President Barack Obama grew up.

The special election is the latest triumph for the GOP as it looks to take back control of Congress.

Hallelujah! Fantastic for Charles .. !

-0's 'home' state' .. Woo Hoo !

[seanmerc]

Should the current trend continue, I’d pay cash money to watch her have to leave the Speaker’s office!

[cynwoody]

Attaboy, Charlie!

[TOneocon]

I don’t know how much of a RINO Djoh is but I do know Mark Levin endorsed him.

[little jeremiah]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seanmerc]

By the way, AP, it’s not pronounced “duh-JOO”. It’s pronounced duh-ZHOO.

[altura]

Well, I’m cheering. He may be a rino (in your opinion) but he’s not a dem.

It’s a victory.

[NYCslicker]

Sweet.

Now, tell the guy to go on *FOX* !

Just in via Email!

Charles Djou, US Army Reserve Captain, is going to Congress!

This unlikely victory was made possible because of your
hard work, generous contributions, and the effect of the
American people’s disapproval of President Obama and
Nancy Pelosi’s radical agenda.

Congressman Djou knows he is being sent to Washington
to repeal Obama’s agenda, but he won’t be able to do
it alone!
We need to send more people like him to the halls of
Congress so they can be a force strong enough to stop
Obama’s agenda or even repeal it!

[Nonstatist]

I dont see how he holds this seat in the Fall

[counterpunch]

True dat.

[Liberty Valance]

Congrats to Charles Djou and the State of Hawaii!
This is great news.

Electing even a RINO in a solidly ‘rat district in a solidly ‘rat state is a victory. In some places it’s just infeasible to elect conservatives, in those places, settling for folks who caucus with us and occasionally vote with us is still a victory.

“By the way, AP, it’s not pronounced “duh-JOO”. It’s pronounced duh-ZHOO.”

No, the anti-semites in the Obama administration will pronounce it “duh-Joo” to make him look bad.

[originalbuckeye]

Unless the Conservative purists and the Republican moderates can come to concensus, our country will be totally lost by the next Presidential election. Wake up and see the Marxism!! We need to work together!!!

[dalebert]

YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA! dont care where her grew up..this is where he claimed he did.

[AlanD]

Why do some people think that you can elect a South Carolina Conservative in a place like Hawaii? That’s getting ridiculous. Djou is a nice victory, but nothing to get too excited about. Now if he can prevail in November . . .

Kenya born, Indonesia raised.

S-w-e-e-t!
