Hawaii Gone Republican

First things first, I don't know jack-schnitzel about politics. Just thought I'd throw it out before I got underway. So, it appears that a republican has recently won the house seat in Hawaii. I don't know whether there are one or fifty house seats, but alot of Republicans (my dad mentioned something about it) are saying this victory is a huge indication that Obama is doing a poor job. Some are saying that because a republican is representing the state that Obama was born in, a state that has had a democrat house representative for the last 20 years, his support is surely diminishing. In my opinion, that's a load of rubbish. I don't think this republican victory is any more significant because Obama was born in Hawaii. Would someone really vote democrat because our democratic president was born in there state? Highly doubt it. But this piece of news ties into a larger issue. More and more government positions that have been historically been held by democrats are going to republicans. Positions in Massachusetts, Virginia, and now Hawaii have made the change. Is this a result of Obama's incompetence (if he is indeed incompetent)? If not, why the changes? Write about any thoughts you have on this subject or anything that is even a little related to it.
