suburbs, and he faces john delaney, a businessman, a surprise winner, but the democratic nature, theatic nature of the district, i think, is going to be tough for bartlett, even though he has an environmental streak to him, that doesn't make him a typical republican. i think he's facing a different month come ri electorat that's wealthy inteemght chewables, and they -- intellectuals, and that will be tough. >> in massachusetts, getting a lot of attention, some allegations of gambling and offshore money that in-laws may have made for him and the family. what's happening out there? >> yap's -- john's in a lot of trouble and is now an underdog in the race for a couple reasons. one is, he has that ethical cloud surrounding him. his brother-in-law, his wife served time for misconduct, and i think that ethics cloud is part of the problemment the other charge is he's facing richard, an openly gay republican who is not easily tied to the tea party label. tough to say he's an extreme conservative as an openly gay republicans, and republicans ran a good campaign, and it would be a surprise now
