Republican Wave to Continue?

The second steal from Hot Air: We'll soon get a chance to see if the wave against President Hope 'n' Change is rolling on or not.  Two Special House Elections in Dem territories are happening in May.  In deep blue Hawaii's urban Honalulu district, Republican Charles Djou is leading two Democrats, 36% to 28% to 22%.  This is a winner-take-all election, and according to the article, the Democrats are hammering each other as hard as they are hammering Djou, so this could be a fluke win in an odd election arrangement.  But still, a Republican hasn't represented Hawaii at the national level since 1991, so a win would still be a definite message in Obama's alleged home state.

The second race is for deceased EX-Marine scumbag John Murtha's seat in Pennsylvania.  Murtha was Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District's representative from 1974 until his death earlier this year(!) who famously accused Marines of being cold-blooded killers in the Haditha massacre controversy in 2006.  Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1 in this district, but according to the KOS poll on May 1, Republican Tim Burns was leading Democrat Mark Critz 46%-40%.  A win here would be another slap in the face to Democratic leadership, and a sign that the awakening of fiscally responsible conservatives has not yet passed. 

Go Guys!

  2. I think Republicans will win big in the coming elections; but after studying the history of the Republican party and their basic core beliefs, I question if this will bring any real and lasting change in the direction the Country is headed.
