He didn’t “win” - he was elected by default. If there had been only one dem he would have lost by a landslide.

While it’s welcome news for sure, I believe there were two Dims who may have split the D vote...

Yep - if I heard correctly this morning, he got something like 39 percent; he’ll be gone after November.

You may be right, he may lose when the Demo-Socialist vote isn’t split.

Djou received 67,610 votes, or 39.4 percent. He was trailed by state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, a Democrat who received 52,802 votes, or 30.8 percent. The other leading Democrat, former U.S. Rep. Ed Case, received 47,391 votes, or 27.6 percent.
To: RightGuy
Correct. There were two Dems who split the vote and no run off, so the Repub won with a plurality. The Dems were big rivals and neither one would drop out to give the other a sure win.

How did a Republican win in Obama's Hawaii hometown? November, 2006, GOP President and Congress, unemployment, 4.5%.
May, 2010, Dem President and Congress, unemployment, 9.9%.

Do you think the Repubs will win back NY-23 in a “landslide” this November?

If this happened in Australia,for example Kevin Rudd had lost his seat in a by-election he would have to stand down from his leadership and would probably signal for a general election because the country doesn't have a Prime Minister.
To bad that law doesn't apply in the USA.(They could get rid of Obama!)
