Democrats hope to turn Georgia's 6th blue

.
>>> IT'S A LONG TIME
CONSERVATIVE STRONGHOLD BUT
DEMOCRATS HAVE THEIR EYES ON
GEORGIA'S SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT IN WHAT HAS BECOME THE
MOST EXPENSIVE HOUSE RACE IN
HISTORY.
JUST THIS PAST WEEK, A NEW AD
FROM DEMOCRAT ONOSSOFF TAKING ON
CRITICS ON HIS NATIONAL SECURITY
K
CREDENTIALS.
>> I WANT TO SEE ISIS DESTROYED,
AS AN INVESTIGATIVE FILMMAKER I
HELPED EXPOSE ATROCITIES
COMMITTED BY ISIS AGAINST WOMEN
AND GIRLS.
THEY'RE EVIL.
AND WE HAVE TO STOP THEM.
THAT'S WHY I'LL WORK TO MAKE
SURE OUR MILITARY AND
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY HAVE
EVERY TOOL THEY NEED TO FIGHT
TERRORISM.
>> THE AD WAS PARTLY IN RESPONSE
TO THIS FROM THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEE.
>> ISIS IS INFILTRATING AMERICA
AND USING SYRIANS TO DO IT.
THE FBI WARNED WE CAN'T SAFELY
SCREEN EVERY SYRIAN, YET JOHN
OSSOFF'S LIBERAL PARTY BOSSES
BROUGHT 10,000 SYRIAN REFUGEES
TO AMERICA.
JON OSSOFF IS JUST TOO RISKY.
>> REPUBLICANS WANT TO HOLD ONTO
THE DISTRICT AND TESTIMONIES
WANT TO FLIP IT.
TUESDAY'S RUNOFF ELECTION WILL
GIVE BOTH PARTIES A SMALL
GLIMPSE AT A POSSIBLE PLAYBOOK
FOR HOW TO RUN IN THE TRUMP ERA.
ABBY, YOU COVERED DEMOCRATS IN
2016 AND IN SOME WAY THIS IS
DISTRICT AND THIS RACE HAS SOME
OF THE FEATURES OF THE 2016 RACE
IN TERMS OF HILLARY CLINTON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK DEMOCRATS ARE
LOOKING FOR AND WHY ARE THEY
SPENDING SO HEAVILY IN THIS
RACE?
>> I THINK THE KEY HERE IN THIS
DISTRICT IS GOING TO BE THE SORT
OF EDUCATION DIVIDE THAT'S
ALWAYS PRESENT IN POLITICS,
ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE
NOVEMBER ELECTION.
THIS DISTRICT IS A LITTLE BIT
MORE AFFLUENT, MOVING TOWARD THE
MORE COLLEGE EDUCATED SIDE.
IT IS A REPUBLICAN DISTRICT BUT
THOSE REPUBLICANS ARE, THEY HAVE
COLLEGE DEGREES, THEY ARE SORT
OF WORKING, SORRY, WHITE COLLAR
WORKERS AS OPPOSED TO WORKING
CLASS HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATED
FOFOLKS
SO THAT CHANGES THE DYNAMICS.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE SAME
THING YOU SAW WITH DONALD TRUMP.
SOME OF THOSE REPUBLICANS ARE
MUCH MORE SKEPTICAL OF HIM.
LOT WANT TO GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT
OF THE DOUBT BUT THEY'RE
SKEPTICAL AND WILLING TO TURN TO
FLIP IN A CONGRESSIONAL SEAT.
>> AND HE WON THIS DISTRICT ONE
PERCENTAGE POINT, AND YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE DEMOGRAPHICS
AND THE SOCIOECONOMICS OF THIS
DISTRICT AND WE'VE GOT A GRAPHIC
UP.
THE RESIDENT WITH BACHELORS
DEGREES ARE MORE IN THIS
DISTRICT, 58%, YOU COMPARE THAT
TO KANSAS, THE FOURTH DISTRICT
THERE, ABOUT 28%, AND MONTANA AT
LARGE DISTRICT IS ABOUT TO,
THOSE TWO RACES DEMOCRATS
OBVIOUSLY CAME UP SHORT IN
THOSE.
AND THIS IDEA ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT OSSOFF WANT TO DO IS
BASICALLY DEMOCRATS COME
TOGETHER AND PEEL OFF SOME OF
THOSE REPUBLICAN ROMNEY VOTERS.
KOUCAMERA, WHAT DO YOU THINK
REPUBLICANS ARE LOOKING FOR IN
THIS RACE, WHICH IS TIGHT AS A
TICK I'M TOLD ANYWHERE FROM ONE
PERCENTAGE POINT WILL PROBABLY
DECIDE THE FINAL RACE.
>> RIGHT, I THINK IT'S SO HOLD
BACK WHAT COULD BE A SWELLING
TIDE IF OSSOFF WINS.
IF HE WINS IT'S A SIGNAL TO THE
DEMOCRAT THIS IS IS DOABLE.
YOU CAN FLIP THE DISTRICTS THAT
MIGHT BE TRADITIONALLY
REPUBLICAN BUT NOT RUMP
REPUBLICAN.
DOESN'T GIVE THEM A PLAYBOOK
THAT WINS THE HOUSE, UNCLEAR.
EVEN IN MONTANA BETTER SHOWING
THAN IN THE PAST BUT NOT QUITE
ENOUGH TO HAVE IT BE A WIN.
SO IF THEY CAN WIN THIS, IT'S
DEFINITELY GOING TO BE WIND AT
THEIR BACKS TO KEEP GOING AND
GOING TO BE GREAT FOR THE
DEMOCRATS.
ALSO THE OTHER QUESTION IS IF
THEY LOSE, THEY HAVE TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THEMSELVES BECAUSE IT'S
SO ODD YOU HAVE THESE TWO
CANDIDATE BEING EVERYTHING
RIDING ON THESE TWO CANDIDATES,
THIS PARTICULAR DISTRICT.
NEITHER OF THEM IS PARTICULARLY
REHEARSED IN POLITICS.
BUT JUST IN GENERAL YOU'RE
HAVING ISIS COMMERCIALS IN THE
LAST FEW DAYS, WHAT ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT.
>> SONNY PERDUE WAS CAMPAIGNING
WITH KAREN HANDEL, AGRICULTURE
SECRETARY AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF
GEORGIA.
HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY TO
REPUBLICANS.
>> I KNOW SOME OF YOU OUT THERE,
SOME OF YOU, SOME REPUBLICANS
MAY EVEN BE TURNED OFF BY OUR
PRESIDENT, AND I DON'T THINK YOU
ARE.
I'M NOT, BECAUSE LET ME TELL
YOU, LET ME TELL YOU, I KNOW HIS
HEART.
AND LET ME JUST SHARE, I WAS IN
MIAMI YESTERDAY WITH HIM.
THE PRESIDENT KEEPS HIS
PROMISES.
>> JEFF, THAT MESSAGE SEEMS TO
BE SOMETHING LIKE COME ON HOME
TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY EVEN IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO?
>> EXTRAORDINARY.
WE'RE FIVE MONTHS INTO THE
PRESIDENCY, AND FOR THE
PRESIDENT TO NOT BE A VALUABLE
ASSET IS PRETTY INTERESTING, AND
THAT IS A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME
GOING FORWARD.
LOT OF REPUBLICANS WILL NOT WANT
TO BE SORT OF AT HIS SIDE
CAMPAIGNING, BUT I'M STRUCK WITH
THAT, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I
SAW THAT, MAYBE YOU DON'T LIKE
HIM -- BUT I THINK THE PRESIDENT
HERE DESPERATELY WOULD LOVE TO
BE DOWN THERE INVOLVED IN THE

Democrats hope to turn Georgia's 6th blue
