Hawaii Special Congressional Election Update: Democratic Party Infighting Hands 1st Congressional to GOP

According to the Associated Press (full article here), local party infighting has caused the DCCC. to consider abandoning the race in what has now become the Bluest State . (Title previously held by Massachusetts).

Depending upon the poll, Republican candidate Charles Djou, leads both Democrats, one of which, Colleen Hanabusa, who has the larger poll deficit, refuses to give up the race – thereby splitting the Democrat vote. One might call it denial, or ego, or what-have-you, she refuses to leave the race. Of interest: Djou continues to lead despite Obama robo-calls supporting the Democrat “agenda” and the urging voters to caste a ballot for the Administrations favorite of the two Democrats: Ed Case.

As the final weeks of two special congressional elections winds down, Public Policy Polling (trend Democrat) notes that both Hawaii and Pennsylvania will go to the GOP Article here from May 6.
Should either of these districts elect a Republican Congressional Representative, it would send yet another message across the nation, and especially to Washington, that no seat is “safe” for incumbents who vote to increase spending. Should both go the way of the GOP – then it will indeed, be a long summer recess for those members having to defend them and actually camping in home districts.
