Remember Charles Djou, that Republican guy in Hawaii that actually thought he’d have a shot at winning a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from that deep blue state?

Well he won.

I know! Pretty cool, huh? I know a lot of my uber conservative friends are very excited. I’m excited too! I’m almost as excited as I was when Scott Brown won in Massachusetts. I mean, Republicans just don’t win in states like MA or HI.

Unfortunately, many conservatives were sorely disappointed when it turned out that Brown had some liberal leanings. They felt betrayed. I fear the same thing is going to happen with Djou followers.

To that I have this to say: Given the candidates in a general election, it is better to celebrate the victory of a candidate that will vote with you half of the time than bemoan the victory of someone that will never vote with you.

Congrats to Mr. Djou. The best of luck to you sir, and I hope that you’ll support many conservative caused during your time in Congress.
