REPUBLICANS WIN SEAT IN DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD.

Republican Charles Djou topped Democrats Colleen Hanabusa and former Rep. Ed Case (D-HI) to succeed retired Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) in Congress.

Given that he was fighting a split Democratic party in the special election, it’s not likely that Djou will retain the seat in November when he’s competing against a single Democrat candidate.

But we can hope.
