Incumbent Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie was soundly defeated in the state's Democratic primary, results showed on Sunday.

The loss by Abercrombie, who had been endorsed by Hawaii-born President Barack Obama, marked the first defeat for an incumbent Democratic governor in Hawaii since it was granted statehood in 1959, potentially re-arranging the political landscape before the U.S. general election in November.

Final results showed Abercrombie with 30.8 percent of the votes and the winner, state Senator David Ige, with 66.1 percent.

What is so very delicious is the smelly little troll spend ten times as much money (gee, where did all that come from?) only to have the crap stomped out of him.

I hope the humiliation wounds him for life. He deserves it after spitting on returning VN veterans' buses and organizing protests.

Oh yes, for those not familiar with the little POS, he was a central member of the House Socialist Caucus.

“Are the democrat voters having their own tea party, taking down the established politicians? Maybe they are open to the truth.”

Nah, the Japanese simply want to take over again. Abercrombie wasn’t “one of them.”

Poor Haole dinosaur Democrat. Couldn’t have happened to a better Obama supporter.

Am I a Doofus?
Or what?

Maybe now he can finally reveal that there is no Hawaiian birth certificate for Obama, because as governor, he looked for it but could not find it.

I believe I read that he spent close to 5 million and Ige spent a little less that 500 thousand. LOL Ige is still a liberal Democrat but Abercrombie was a total leftist Party Line all the way hippy idiot.
