to win he we have to vote no and put this behind us. if we re unable to, don t think it sends a very good message about how we have done politics here in el paso county. i think another reason national people are involved in this race, michael bloomberg has sort of set himself up as the chief protector, at least financially, of people across the country who are willing to cast difficult votes for gun control. he s come through and, friends of his has come through, to support your campaign. that s been turned against you by the billionaire coming nuclear trying to buy our election. how is that message they ve used against you, saying this is an outsider coming nuclear trying to prop up john morse? how has that affected the race? has that been a problem for you? i really don t think it has. there hasn t been a single voter at the door that has brought up that issue. not a single one.
