Republican Charles Djou Tied With Democratic Candidates in Hawaii Special House Election
Djou, an Army Reserve officer and Honolulu city councilman, might wind up winning this district in a reverse Scozzoflava scenario: There are two Democrats running and splitting the vote with each other.
A Democratic poll puts Djou tied with one Democrat (Case) at 32%, and ahead of the other one (Hanabusa) at 27%.
Further, there's a nice schism here: The AFL-CIO supports Hanabusa. as do both of the state's Democratic Senators, and the DCCC supports Case. And with both very much in the running and virtually tied themselves, neither has a very compelling case to withdraw in order to keep the seat Democratic.
