HI 2014 Congressional Elections

[SWE]

Schatz ranked the most liberal Senator.

Chuck Schumer tied for most liberal? What?

[SWE]

Djou is stickin with HI-01.

Hopefully now pundits will stop rating HI-Sen Likely D.

Not that I'm a pundit, but I just moved it to Safe D.

Why wasn't it safe D in the first place?

Djou did very well in HI-01 in 2012 despite Obama's landslide in the state. Combine that with a very bloody primary and wounded Democratic nominee, and I could see a slight chance for Djou pulling it out. Sort of like Mississippi, which I have at likely R for now. If McDaniel wins the primary, the Democrats actually have a decent candidate.

Comparing Hanabusa or Schatz to a neo-Confederate Islamophobe who retweets white supremacists and Stormfront users is insulting. This seat never had a chance of going Republican.

It was an analogy. I'm not saying Hanabusa or Schatz were even weak candidates, just that Djou was a strong one. HI-01 is half the state, and he got 46% there against Hanabusa even during Obama's huge landslide, so is it really that implausible he could've kept the Senate race within single digits in a much more Republican friendly environment?

If Laura Lingle couldn't make Hawaii close, I don't think any Republican can

[SWE]

Obama is endorsing Schatz.

Fantastic!

[SWE]

What Obama just did plays into the image of worry about unimportant things and ignore the important. What a petty and useless endorsement. I know it's unlikely to happen but I hope Hanabusa wins.

How is one of the most high profile senate primaries an "unimportant thing"?

Either way, the candidates are almost the same.

No

Somebody's a butthurt Hanabusa supporter.

Hanabusa has a better chance than virtually everyone in your signature. And the one who was best placed to win has already lost. So sucks for you, I guess.

I repeat. Somebody's a butthurt Hanabusa supporter. Also, for someone who claims to be a Democrat, you seem to like Republicans winning.

Again, Hanabusa has a better chance of actually winning her race than virtually everyone in your signature does. So that really sucks for you. This is just a fact, and cannot be connected to a notion that I want "Republicans winning".
Good luck to you and your loser candidates.

Schatz also has a better chance of winning, so the point is moot. And of course they both have better chance of winning, he appears to only be endorsing in competitive races

[SWE]

Sabato finally moves this race to Safe D

[SWE]

Not a fan of DINO Mercado Kim. Hopefully Takai can catch up to her.

True Leftist

[SWE]

Hanabusa is significantly to the right of Schatz, yes
