Djou Betcha … Republican Charles Djou Wins US House Special Election in Hawaii

Charles Djou … Djou Betcha!

It’s official … Republican Charles Djou has won the special election for the US House of Representative seat in Hawaii.This represents the first time in 20 years that a Republican will represent Hawaii in Congress. Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou will represent urban Honolulu’s 1st Congressional District. Djou would serve out the remaining months of former congressman Neil Abercrombie’s term in Congress.

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.

Let’s see the MSM and Democrats try and spin this one that this is not a precursor for the 2010 midterm elections. It is the first time since 1991 that the GOP will have a member of Congress from Hawaii.

“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.”

It had been earlier reported that voting for the special election had topped 50%.The thought was that Democrats Case and Hanabusa would split the Democrat vote. They did not disappoint.

Recent polls show Republican Charles Djou leading Democrats Ed Case and Colleen Hanabusa. They are among 14 candidates vying to replace Neil Abercrombie, who resigned his seat in February to concentrate on a run at governor.

Another Democrat Alka Seltzer Moment, Conservatives Most Enthusiastic About 2010 Midterm Vote

RUT-ROH Democrats don’t look now but more bad news for the upcoming 2010 midterm elections … Gallup Poll indicated that Conservatives are the most enthusiastic about voting in the 2010 midterms.

Democrats better buy stock in Alka Seltzer this Fall

Registered voters who identify themselves as conservatives are significantly more enthusiastic about voting in this fall’s congressional elections than are liberals or moderates. Those who say they are “very” conservative are the most enthusiastic of all, with substantially higher enthusiasm than those who say they are “very” liberal.

45% of total Conservatives, 62% of very Conservative and only 21% of liberals are very enthusiastic about voting in the upcoming 2010 midterm elections. Is it any wonder that the buzz is that Republicans have a real chance of taking back the House of Representatives and even an outside chance at the US Senate.

Not only do Conservatives have the momentum, but we also need to analyze the the identity (political ideology) of the percentage of voters that are not motivated to vote.

It may be more instructive to look at the “not enthusiastic” numbers.  Among all self-identified conservative voters, only 30% report being unenthusiastic about the midterms.  In comparison, 50% of moderates and 42% of liberals are apathetic.  Considering the wide gaps in identification with these positions, those position differences point to a midterm wipeout for nonconservative candidates.

That helps Republicans, but it goes deeper than that.  The most enthusiastic Democratic voters are those who identify as conservatives (33%), not moderates (20%) or liberal (26%).

So many of the polls are pointing in one direction and that is a Republican tsunami in 2010. Now all the GOP has to do is not screw it up and remember what brought you back from the abyss, and it was not being Republican light.

More Billboards … VOTE OUT LIBERALS & PROGRESSIVES

More from WE THE PEOPLE …

There has been yet another billboard sighting, this time on I-95 in Richmond, VA. A group of local patriots got together to voice their Constitutional Right of Free Speech to express their concern about the future of the United States for their childdren and grandchildren.

“Vote Out Liberals and Progressives in 2010?

WSJ Poll, Voters Fleeing from Democrats Ahead of 2010 Midterm Elections … Bad to be the Party of BO

Some times its good to be the party of “NO”, especially when in 2010 you are it is  the party of BO.

All polling data is showing that American voters are fleeing the Democrats and the S.S. Obama. Add another one to the list, this time it is the Wall Street Journal poll that shows that there has been a definite shift in voter support from Democrats to Republicans. The voters that Republicans lost in recent elections appear to be coming home.

Republicans have solidified support among voters who had drifted from the party in recent elections, putting the GOP in position for a strong comeback in November’s mid-term campaign, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

The findings suggest that public opinion has hardened in advance of the 2010 elections, making it tougher for Democrats to translate their legislative successes, or a tentatively improving U.S. economy, into gains among voters.

Full poll results HERE.

The WSJ/NBC poll also bares witness to the fact that Independents have abandoned the Democrat party. They must be less than happy with Obama’s “hope & change” promises of 2008.

A big shift is evident among independents, who at this point in the 2006 campaign favored Democratic control of Congress rather than Republican control, 40% to 24%. In this poll, independents favored the GOP, 38% to 30%.

Suburban women favored Democratic control four years ago by a 24-point margin. In the latest survey, they narrowly favored Republicans winning the House. A similar turnaround was seen among voters 65 and older.

“This is the inverse of where we were four years ago, and in a way that projects to substantial Democratic losses in November,” Mr. McInturff said.

The new survey gives incumbents of either party little reason for comfort. Only about one in five respondents approved of the job Congress is doing.

As The Lonely Conservative states, it’s okay to be the party of “NO” especially when WE THE PEOPLE are in direct opposition to the path that Obama and the liberal, progressive Democrats are taking us down. Why would Republicans reach across the aisle and bail out Democrats and aid them in destroying America?

The majority of Americans want politicians to stand up in opposition to Obamacare, Cap & Trade, bail outs and any Immigration reform that would include amnesty. The polls once again show it’s bad to be the Party of BO.

Incumbent US Rep. Alan Mollohan Defeated in WV Democrat Primary by Mike Oliverio … “I supported Obamacare” … Good Bye

It would appear that it is not only the Republicans who are telling incumbents don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Now if only the MSM would cover these stories in the same way.

Pretty soon we might be putting “Incumbents” on the political endangered species list, if they are not already there. The latest to feel the wrath of the American voters was US Rep. Alan Mollohan who lost handily to  Democratic state Sen. Mike Oliverio in the West Virginia Democrat Primary.

Mollohan hadn’t faced a serious primary fight in more than a decade and was seen in some circles as unbeatable given that the 1st district seat had been in his family since 1968. (His father held it from 1968-1982 before handing it off to the son.)

But, Oliverio, who served a single term in the state House of Delegates before being elected to the state Senate in 1994, ran hard against Mollohan’s entrenched incumbent status and the lingering whiff of ethics problems that had dogged the Congressman for years.

Blue Dogs are learning, it’s not good to support Obamacare.

Interesting, this self proclaimed pro-life Blue Dog Democrats in the Stupak coalition who voted for the abortion-fund and Obamacare loses in a Democrat primary. Can you only imagine how these folk will fare in a general election? Blue Dogs have been added to the endangered political species list as well. The 14 term US Rep is out as state Sen. Mike Oliverio won 56% to Mollohan’s 44%.

As the Weekly Standard states, if this was a Republican primary the MSM headlines would say Mollohan “purged” instead because of media bias they merely read he lost.

Of course, if he were a Republican, I would write that West Virginia congressman Alan Mollohan was “purged” instead of “defeated.” Per the Wall Street Journal: “With 82% of precincts reporting, Democratic state Sen. Mike Oliverio was already leading by 12 points, 56%-44%.”

With the mood of the country in this political season … Mollohan will have plenty of company this year as the GOP looks to take back the US House of Representatives.

HAHAHA or should we say NANANA, priceless from RED STATE!!!
