HI-01

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Ed Case actually lives in HI-01, although the laws in Hawaii don't require a representative to live in the district they represent. He's made noises about running for something in 2010 (he's up for anything -- Governor, Senator, HI-01 or 02) so I wouldn't be surprised if he ran. There's even precedent for this, even with Hawaii's short electoral history, as Patsy Mink represented the 1st from 65-77 and the 2nd from 91-02.

Anyway, no, unless 2010 is a horrible year for Dems, Djou will probably top out around 40%. Lingle has been terrible at getting other Republicans elected in the state, so I don't think her support would have any effect.

If Djou wins, it'll only be if the GOP wins a landslide and takes the House anyway, so it won't really matter.

I will make an outlandish prediction and say it'll be a primary battle between Ed Case and Colleen Hanabusa.

Shocked?

Not at all, but it still makes me want to barf.

Shocked?

Le sigh.  He does bounce around a lot, doesn't he?  Does he live in HI-01 now?

He lived in HI-01 when he ran for HI-02, so why not have it the other way around?
