David Jolly Predicts Victory and National Ramifications in CD 13

Republican David Jolly took to the national airwaves on Monday afternoon as he made his final pitch in the special election for the congressional seat left open after the death of U.S. Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla. Jolly, who takes on Democrat former state CFO Alex Sink and Libertarian Lucas Overby in Tuesdays election, appeared on Your World with Neil Cavuto on Fox News and sounded optimistic about his chances despite this being a true purple district." Jolly added he believed the race had national ramifications.

Surprisingly the demographics here trend Democrat, Jolly said. That is why this has drawn such national interest. A Republican has held this seat for 43 years but President Obama won this district. It is a true purple district, if you will, which is why the national parties have taken such an interest in this race and such an interest in the messaging around Obamacare. I actually would argue it trends Democrat and I would say that makes it even more important when we win tomorrow; what it means for our party, for the national party on the Republican side going into November. I think we know if we hold this seat tomorrow, which I believe we will, that means the Republicans not only hold the House in November but I think it means a very good year for us in the Senate as well.
