REPUBLICAN CHARLES DJOU WINS IN HAWAII!
Republicans doubled their vote percentage from the 2008 election from 17% to 40%.
Republican Charles Djou climbed more than 15 points in the polls since January and won the Congressional race today in blue Hawaii.
Djou wins in Hawaii!
The Star Bulletin reported:
Republican Charles Djou emerged victorious tonight in the special election to fill Hawaii’s vacancy in Congress, giving Hawaii it’s first GOP member of Congress in 20 years.
Djou won the special mail-in election with 39.5 percent of the vote in the first printout, released at 6 p.m.
The first printout represented nearly all of the 170,312 returned by voters in the district, which stretches from Waikiki and downtown to Mililani.
Democrat Colleen Hanabusa was second at 30.8 percent, with Democrat Ed Case third at 27.6 percent.
“This is a momentous day,” Djou told a jubilant crowd at state party headquarters. “We have sent a message to the United States Congress. We have sent a message to the ex-governors. We have sent a message to the national Democrats! We have sent a message to the machine.”
“We have told them that we will not stand idly by as our great nation is overburdened by too much taxes, too much debt and too much wasteful spending.”
Congratulations to Charles and the Djou Family–

The repubs have to figure out how to run against liars like the PA-12 Dem….who like Obama, will say or do ANYTHING to get elected…….and we’re living the results of Nov 08. Still can’t figure out how people can vote for such liars!

HOOORAAAAAY !
HOOORAAAAY !
Thank you mighty GP, and GOP, and Hawaii.
Outstanding.
Now, for all those pushing fashion, please, no mindless “anti-Republican” nonsense. We all know you are the most SUPER CONSERVATIVE of all time. You can drop the name of Ronald Reagan faster than anyone. You impress us all with your blasting of RINOs, equating the two Parties without a reference of any basis, and your joyous bashing of the GOP no matter what the subject is being focused upon.
Three CHEERS FOR THE Republican victory.
Outstanding.

Lets hope that the divided left continues happens. Local moderate Dems vs. DC progressive Dems.
If they had a primary and it was down to one D than Charles Djou would of had a harder time

Congratulations!

A Republican in Obama’s home state! (not to be confused with Obama’s home country of Kenya).
But before I get too excited about the politician himself, I am reminded of Scott Brown, Laura Bush (not elected but still) and any number of disappointing Republicans.
I’m just saying doing get too excited yet.
Militant Conservative commented:
Ok, I missed it by 1 to two points. When the public is given a conservative choice the true conservative always wins. As for the p-12 liar, heavy 2 to 1 democrat and union district. Some will never wake up till the lights go out. That is when the panic sets in.
The TPM tidal wave is gatering steam. Congrats Djou.
bill-tb commented:
Hooray!!!
BUT — We have got to be aware of the “blue dogs” running to the conservative right.
BLUE DOGS — The false flag, phony candidate.

This just goes to show how much I suck… I mean how much Hawaii sucks. This guy doesn’t belong to ACORN. He doesn’t even belong to SEIU. Worse, he is an Asian and pro-business which is exactly what I despise!
This was my old stomping ground! What in the name of Allah happened! I am so angry I could fist Barney Frank! And, where was Axelrod? He was playing Cornholio with Barney Frank. They both should get Hillary’s broom stick up the Whazoo without grease.
I have lost confidence in my own party. The Democrats suck! I will have to think of new gimmick to get those lost votes back.
I have it. We will make a movie called Barney does Berkley! The residuals should be great. I’ll even make a cameo appearance with a happy face painted on my butt. For the small price of $50 the good Donkeys in Berkley can BF Barney Frank and I, plus get a personalized autographed glossy photo… so they can prove they will were in the film. Line up and get behind Barney and Barack now! Screw Me!
My limousine is running and I have some butt plugs, KY jelly and Pink Lipstick to buy. I want this film to payoff in spades. America sucks. Good day.

Congrats, Charlie!
Subadar Lal Kukhri commented:
The one thing Obama ever said that wasn’t a lie or an error (it was an insult): “You can’t put lipstick on a pig.”
Seems the American people see the truth of that statement and are voting.
How is the lying, liberal propganda machine going to explain this?

Dems response:
Have bracelets made in Hawaii’s state colors to protest the racist state.
Pat the First commented:
I don’t think we can read much into this. Chances are he wouldn’t have won if there had been only one Dem candidate. He only won because there were 2 Dems, albeit one was more conservative than the other. They combined with 61% of the vote. He will have to pick up at least 12% of the voters to stay in office in November. It can open but this may be only a temporary victory.
Joe Bean commented:
Will he hold the seat is the question. Good news either way.
SoldiersMom commented:
Great news to wake up to! Before we do too much celebrating though, Djou won with less than 50% of the vote. Dems won’t be splitting their vote come November and Djou will need to take 11% of those Dem votes to win in November. We won the battle, but not the war – YET.
Sandy commented:
First Gingrich said we are on tap to win 70 seats in the House. Then after PA. 12 he revised his estimate downward. Now that we have a genuine pick up will he stop wringing his hands and be happy?
Thank you Representative Dijou and all the Republicans who voted in this special election.
By the way, in Pa 12 Critz is only going to Washington until November before there is another election. Wonder if his Lib roots will take hold and he will be proven a lying Lib.
Sandy commented:
I am excited because this is the first time in 20 years this seat has been held by Republicans. I refuse to be upset that the unions are going to spend close to 200 Million getting these Dem jerks reelected. The Libs are past their sell by date and they stink to high heaven. So powder and paint ain’t going to make em what they ain’t.
Go GOP save America please.
Sandy commented:
WTG Brooklyn — Its a good day.
Pat the First commented:
I think PA-12 is a completely different story. If the GOP could have won there, it would have been a HUGE deal. It, like Hawaii, has a Dem majority. Critz is almost a shoe-in for re-election in November. Djou has a huge uphill battle.
I do not see a 70 seat pick-up, but I think there is a possibility for a good sized pick-up that can reduce the power that the Dems have right now.

God Bless him! I’m donating to every conservative, Mark Levn recommends. His endorsement is the true test.
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
The Democrats blew it in this all-mail balloting. If they’d bothered to learn from their Seattle branch, they’d have ensured that sufficient anti-Djou ballots were ‘discovered’ in the counting process to just barely ace him out of first place.
Meanwhile, congratulations to Charles Djou and his family, and may he enhance the Herculean chore of flushing the manure-piles out of the Washington stables.
Cindy commented:
Forget about the bears and the bulls, the donkeys and the “blue dogs”, I can hear the sounds of an elephant stampede!! Can you hear it too Washington DC?????
Rock commented:
Congratulations to all involved, best of luck sir as you begin what hopefully will be a distinguished career.
AliceL. commented:
I hope Dijou can hold the seat. Good luck to him and his lovely family! To parahrase Mrs. Nobama, “For the first time [since the presidential election] I am not ashamed of my country.” As for Scott Brown, he is from the crazy state of Massachusetts. He is still preferible to Coakley and any other Dem that he runs against. I hope that a couple of Republicans can win in Massachusetts.
ClassicFilm commented:
The more I bone up on Djou, the more I want to cheer. A true fiscal conservative, a politician with a refreshing attitude towards serving the people, a man of principles and support of our military and country.
Hawaii, kudos to you for not being Democrat sheep in this special election. Djou is a break from life-sucking liberal tradition, and indicative that the nation is waking up to the social and economic disaster being brought upon America by Team Obama and his statist minions.
Hawaii — well done, and fight hard to reelect Djou in November.

Congratulations….very good news.
