Brad Miller NC-13 A Special Election in Hawaii

..

Removing Brad Miller from office will not be easy, but he will be facing a strong headwind in this election. Knowing which way that wind is blowing is useful, but developing a sense
of the strength of that wind is most important. I believe it will be a strong headwind powered by the public's distaste of Brad Miller's penchant for governance through broken consent as exemplified in the passage of ObamCare.

Anyway, special elections are an excellent finger in the wind. Think of the ignored Mass. election of Scott Brown. Now we have another blue state...Hawaii.

Hanabusa and Case are both Democrats while Djou is a conservative. Hanabusa and Case are likely splitting the Democrat vote, but what is interesting is that, between the two Democrats, the one that is leading (Case) is a self proclaimed fiscal conservative.

This is a three way race...winner takes all. No primary.
Results to be announced May 22.




According to KITV.com

A recent poll shows Republican Charles Djou is tied with Democrat Ed Case for the lead in Oahu’s special congressional election, according to The Atlantic magazine.


Case and Djou are now tied with 32 percent of the vote, with Hanabusa in third place at 27 percent. About nine percent of the respondents were undecided, Atlantic reported, citing a Democratic source who’d seen results of a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee poll.


Djou is elated with the results, saying, “Momentum has clearly shifted in favor of our campaign and this is certainly something that I'm very excited about.""It clearly shows that our message is resonating with the people of Hawaii. That Congress is taking our nation in the wrong direction and we need a greater sense of fiscal
responsibility," Djou said.
