Im seeing three different stories looking at we showed there franklin county. clinton won it and tonight you saw the energy was there for democrats. the support level for oconnor was higher than it was for clinton by will ten points. turnout level was higher. im thinking that story is trouble for republican members of congress, barbara cop stock right outside washington, d.c. from the suburban areas highly educated, trouble for them when you see that. >> a lot of my former colleagues in congress...
