let me turn now to the republican in charge of winning races like this. he s also the chair of the national congressional committee. you heard jim galoway there. he said this race is about trump. clearly some voters want to be about trump, and it s about when voters want it to be about. and in the end it s about who they want to represent them in the sixth district. and i think carry handel will come out on top of that not just because she lives there but she represents the people of the sixth district. win or lose, this is going to be a big race. and if you look at the trump, clinton campaign from november, do you take any comfort by losing by a point saying, well,
well, the commentary just reflects this rather benign race. you ve got john osoff trying to sort of get past all these billionaire, millionaire progressive donors, hollywood celebrities that have donated to his campaign. it s not easy. and then trying to tar and feather him with this stale play book calling him the nancy pelosi puppet. the fact they re going with that tired attack is something, but it might work in that district. and talking about throwing things at the wall, it seems like that worked the best. it s interesting trump is going to see it on tv, pay attention to it, wave his pompoms if she wins. but he didn t go down there and campaign for it. and i think that tells you she is a liability in this race. it is funny both candidates are running away from their
every republican with an interest in the georgia special election. there s one vote that john ossoff is not going to get in tonight s contest, his own. he does not live in georgia 6 so he can t vote in the race. he lives in georgia s 5th congressional district. the constitution only requires you live in the same state, no t the same district. in case you missed it this happens more than you might think. if he wins he wouldn t be the only member of congress living in georgia s 5th district who represents another district. the post identified 21 members of congress who live in districts they do not represent. guess what? it s pretty bipartisan. 11 democrats. 10 republicans. none of them are from wyoming or
from your side, and i know you didn t control all the messaging, it looks like it s been all over the place. well, with a candidate like john osoff who has kind of a thin résume and even exaggerated parts of that, you do find yourself trying to figure out what you can throw against the wall and what can stick. but i think in the end the people of this district want this to be about who s going to represent them the best. and i think that s going to be cairn handel. i feel confident we re going to come out on the winning side tonight. do you believe many of your colleagues, maybe the house and senate may be watching tonight on healthcare, because that was the issue most talked about in this district than other issues do you feel the process of healthcare this summer, how it goes is on the ballot tonight? i think it s certainly one of the factors in this race.
that healthcare hasn t been a big issue on the ground. we see where the messaging is there. tying him to nancy pelosi, anarchists, osama bin laden and trying to make the carpet bagger title stick here to the end. the people of the sixth district want this to be about the sixict district. they re very concerned about achb individual who does not even live in this district. president trump echoed that attack this morning on twitter. democratic osoff. folks, the only prediction we can make right now is the race is going to be very close. for democrats they need a victory to show any signs of
