and in that moment, allison knew.ever since he was a boy, her son had always carried a red handkerchief. her son wells was the man in the red bandanna. wells was just 24 years old. with a broad smile and a bright future. he worked in the south tower on the 104th floor. he had a big laugh, a joy of life, and dreams of seeing the world. he worked in finance, but he had also been a volunteer firefighter, and after the planes hit, he put on that bandanna and spent his final moments saving others. three years ago this month, after our seals made sure that justice was done, i came to ground zero and among the families here that they were allison crowley. and she told me about wells and his fearless spirit and she showed me a handkerchief like the one he wore that morning. and today as we saw on our tour, one of his red handkerchief is on display in this museum. and from this day forward, all of those who come here will have a chance to know the sacrifice of a young man who, like so many, gave his life so others might live.

democrats and women, both as candidates and voters michelle nun and allison grimes are among a stronge candidates but republicans have a good story to tell, there are potentially strong female senate candidates in west virginia, iowa and michigan and after tuesday oregon may be added to the list. both nunn and grimes are part of another key theme, democrats banking on famous or powerful political families to win in red states, other key candidates on tuesday's ballot, am mark pryor, son of david. these four join a half dozen others arp the country. the good, bad and ugly when it comes to the health care law. kentucky state exchange has been a success story but out west in oregon, not so much. the gop hopes that state's troubled health insurance exchange helps elect republicans to statewide office, something they haven't done since 2002. >> joining me now, julie pace, for the associated press and "washington post" national political reporter robert costa. julie, let's start with the biggest name, mitch mcconnell who seems to have distanced himself from matt bevin. with we assume a win,

he had to defeat allison schwartz. tom is a pennsylvania businessman. he worked in the administration of a popular democratic governor named ed rendell. governor rendell will be with us in a few minutes to talk about tom wolf's chances against republican governor tom corbett in pennsylvania. also in pennsylvania veteran republican congressman bill schuster has survived his primary fight against the tea party challenger. he is head of the transportation committee in the house and for lack of a transportation bill, passing his committee yet this year, construction and road repair projects have been put on hold all across the country. maybe with his tea party primary challenge behind him now, bill shuster will relent and let your local pothole pavers get to before we all fall in and end up in china. mike simpson facing a primary challenge from his right. the ap just called the race in idaho for mike simpson. he has defeated his tea party challenger bryan smith. over in oregon, associated press says that monica wehby has won the republican primary for orego

so now it sets the stage for a major race between mitch mcconnell and allison grimes. as dana knows, she is there on the scene for us, as dana knows, this could be a very, very close race. >> before you answer, i want you to listen to what mcconnell said on grimes, then we will talk about that. >> my opponent is in this race because barack obama and harry reid want her to be in this race. a vote for my opponent is a vote for obama care. and the president who sold it to us on a mountain of lies. and that's why this race isn't about one party against another. it is about a government that thinks it can lie to its own citizens and get away with it. >> dana, strong words. is this going to be a close race? >> it could be. the next couple of months may be even month alone, could help determine the answer to that question. because up until now, it has been a largely unknown democratic candidate and allison grimes, 35 years old, she won statewide as secretary of state. but beyond that hasn't been in politics, obviously, that long. up against mitch mcconnell who is very well kn

on that september morning allison it rather lost her son.final minutes in the towers. survivors recounted italian man wearing a red handkerchief and led them to safety, and in that moment allison knew. ever since he was a boy her son had always carried a red handkerchief. her son was the man in a red bandanna. it. ♪ wells was just 24 years old with a broad smile and a bright future. he worked in the south tower on the 104th floor. he had a big laugh, joy of life, dreams of seeing the world. he worked in finance, but he had also been a volunteer firefighter. after the plane said he put on that bandana and spent his final moments saving others. three years ago this month after our seals made sure that justice was done i came to ground zero. among the families here that day was allison cravath. she told me about her son and his fearless. she showed me a handkerchief like the one he wore that morning. today as we saw on our tour one of his red handkerchiefs is on display in this museum. from this day forward all those who come here will have a c

you have also have allison lundgren-grinlz, and she's from a family that is well known in kentucky.ay you her political ad that she's running right now and we'll talk to you on the other side. >> it seems no matter how many elections we have, nothing gets better in washington. it only gets worse. a lot of that is because the people at the top in both political parties if we keep sending them back, nothing will change. >> the polls show it's a very close race, but do democrats have a realistic belief that allison lundgren-grimes, first-time candidate, can actually take down the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell? >> mcconnell is certainly the favorite. they do think that -- there's a lot of republican dissention with mcconnell. bevin won almost 40% of the votes, and they think grimes can really challenge mcconnell because she's a fresh face. she's a young woman. she's not run statewide before except for -- she's not run for federal office before. she can really contrast mccobbles the washington insider, and the sense is mcconnell just not beloved here. he is more feared than like

but both wolf and allison shaurds are both regarded as sench ris. even though there's a candidate that may be union backed, he's probably not going to win. it's probably going to be the centrist. and that spens forward to 2016, pennsylvania might be more fertile turf for hillary clinton than elizabeth warren. >> who wins the democratic primary? >> marjorie margolis was my senator growing up. i think she's the big name. i don't know if she's going to end up winning but i think that bodes well for her. >> i always liked marjorie. anyway, david corn and ken vie g -- -- vogel. up next, bill mahrer's cant lose strategy for raising president obama's poll numbers. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, peopl

allison was telling everybody i'll well known. she wasn't.man as attractive as her, politically as attractive, moderate democrat, never did tv. never showed up on this show, my show and i never could figure that out. i know why al franken doesn't do it, he wants to be local. but she lost a chance to hit all those local media markets. i don't know why not. >> where does tom wolf fit in the history of politics? >> if he beats tom corbett, he will be the first guy ever to beat an incumbent governor. i think a lot of people he has a ten point spread or better coming out of this because eddie rendell beat lynn swann. >> swann actually led. >> by ten in june. this month if he's up by more than ten, david cohen has pointed out he has a ten-point spread, then he can win. if it's closer than that, i think it's very good for corbett. corbett could pull this off. you know what, turnout. the democrats, as you and i know, are disheartened right now. they're not good from playing from behind anymore. i don't know why they lost the ability to play from behi

this was allison grimes this week. oh, we don't have the clip. sorry. memorial day weekend. >> in a way it wasn't what she was but how she said it. it was more forceful and people who saw her a year ago at the start of this campaign, i don't think they expected a year later this is where she would be this polished. >> democrats in washington privately i think were concerned about her prospects a few months ago. i think they have been more impressed recently, even though i think if you give them truth serum they will say she is the better candidate of the two in terms of the bigger challenges they have this year. this is trench war fare the next six months. the polling has not moved 43, 42. the big challenge that she is going to have how does she separate herself from the national democratic party? you saw her two steps and the ad she released the following day and it's going to be tough. you know, steve, a democrat has not been elected in kentucky to the u.s. senate since 1992 so it's been 22 years. if anybody can be beaten there it's probably mcconnell

can you ever get somebody like allison grimes on your side given the political and economic realitiese? >> it is very tricky. in 2010, when democrats controlled everything, 18 senate democrats were from the top coal producing states, 18. people thought the 60-vote threshold was the problem for everything that he couldn't get there. you had a 60 in 2010. there is no way to pass anything through congress no matter what part of the configuration you can come up with without going through coal country. you have to compromise somewhere. it doesn't make sense to try to oust mike pryor or mary landry in louisiana, because at the end of the day, there will be someone in the state representing a fossil fuel interest and you are going to have to work with them. >> that's so true. when i was driving through southern ohio in 2012, the ads and billboards, president obama's war on coal, they are going to go up no matter who is ru running. you have to work around it. it is still more important and people are political real lifts in the white house, to make sure you you have a democratic senate. that

and in that moment allison new.he was able ad hoc his son had always carried in red handkerchiefs. her son was was the man and a red bandanna wells or was on for years so with a broad smile and encourage future he worked in the south tower on the 1042 were hitting the glass or the joy of lives far and james of state is in the world where to finance half and had also been a volunteer firefighter and after the planted to if he put on that bandana and spent his final moments seven others this as brazil submitted shore that justice was done i can't ground zero among the families started here that day was allison when she told me about wells and his cheerless spirit street and she shows me a head or chief like the one he wore the morning. today as we saw on our tour of one of his red handkerchiefs halt is on display rob and this museum. and from there is a former creek of all those who come here will have a chance to know the sacrifice of a young man who likes on many of gave his life lot all others might live those we l

mitch mcconnell won and allison grimes will be a much tougher opponent. >> mcconnell still has a reale? >> yes. >> do you agree? >> yes. he never wins general elections. the money has to be on him. with obama's numbers underwater, it is hard to think that democrats will win. disgruntled -- >> how about georgia? jill won easily. there is a runoff. many republicans think they are the 2 strongest. >> they are the strongest republican candidates in all likelihood compared to the people who placed fourth and fifth in the race. i say the democrats have a better chance in georgia and kentucky. >> where is your money in georgia? >> i will put it on michelle. she stumbled on not knowing how to treat obamacare. she looked nervous. republicans have a problem. yes, normal people, not wackos not in the runoff. it is very long, nine weeks. there's a lot of time for those two. he has a lot of money. both of them, they will go in battered. >> it will be interesting to see who they prefer. he has been a member of congress for a long time. she will be a formidable candidate. again, it is georgia. a red
