Ex-Governor: Djou Would Be 'Nightmare'

[ccharles000]

Hawaii voters who haven't mailed in their special election ballots are running out of time, and the political parties are running hard to sway the late deciders. The latest pitch is -- from Democrats who were popular enough to get elected governor -- boils down to, 'Whatever you do, don't vote for Djou.'

Ex-Gov. John Waihee called the prospect of Republican Charles Djou winning the state's vacant seat in Congress "a nightmare," reports the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Ex-Gov. George Ariyoshi said, "You don't know what he stands for."
