democrat's favor, but does suggest there's a larger issue that would be playing nout the fall midterm elections on the democrat's be. in this case, you've got democrat plus seven. likely he may be able to put balderson over the top. but you're right, i think you have to look at the numbers on the final result as well, but not just the wl outcome. >> kevin, when you're looking at the numbers and you heard what people are saying, you've got to watch the numbers. not just the w and the l. what are you watching in this because both sides are saying we're going to extract something from this. one district to the national conversation and of course the midterms! i agree with everything that was said. two additional points is specifically looking at the democratic party, even the fact this is just just the come so close to begin with in such a typically conservative leaning district really does speak to something that i hear from republicans, which is also democrats really have the momentum in terms of enthusiasm.
