DLC succeeds at sabotaging Hawaii election

Gee, thanks a billion, DLC.

Because the DLC insisted on running its own candidate in yesterday's special congressional election in Hawaii (because they considered the real Democratic candidate too liberal), the Republicans have finally managed to end their hilarious losing streak.

With the Democratic vote split, Republican weirdo Charles Djou won yesterday with only 39% of the vote.

Of course, Djou will be gone in November, when this seat in this heavily Democratic area is sure to return to the Democrats. But what yesterday's election proves is that the DLC doesn't care about the Democrats winning. Its only purpose is to "prove" that the party has to move to the right to win - even though that thesis has been debunked repeatedly. If it means sabotaging an election by running their own candidate, then that's what they do.

In fact, the DLC's Ed Case finished in third place yesterday, behind the real Democratic candidate Colleen Hanabusa. Clearly, the DLC is more about "proving" bogus theories than about running electable candidates.
