But it's not rural. It's a mix of city and wealthy suburban. And there are a lot of transplants from other states.
The district really isn't comparable to the rest of the south or even to rural parts of Georgia.
Really wouldn't say city, but you are correct on the rest. The district is a middle to upper middle class district in the northern Atlanta suburbs. It is the wealthiest district in Georgia by a significant margin, and the most educated district in the south (6th highest % of Bachelor's Degrees in the country).
If the Democrats do win; it will not be a win. When you outspend your opponent by 7 to 1 you cannot claim a fair race: Democrats are outspending Republicans in Georgia 6th race | Political Insider. All it would show is that money can buy happiness. On the other hand, if the Republicans win; it will demonstrate that the voters can no longer be bought. Any Handel win will send the Democratic organization into true panic. If they don't get this message and see their own faults; they will no longer be a Party in the very near future. It will prove the 'deplorables' are not stupid enough to be bought. The Democrats have to come back to their roots if they want to survive - they have to come back to supporting average working America.
Of course it's a fair race to advertise. The problem is the people who don't do their research and rely on these ads to sway their vote. My god, don't be stupid. Do your research about each candidate and decide whose views you are most aligned with. Handel has no idea what she is talking about with healthcare. She said she is all for the republican bill because her sister was born without esophagus. This isn't even in the republican healthcare bill....we can be denied for predetermined issues.
The dollar for dollar spending comparison gets dicey. Osoff has benefitted form large and small Dem donations. But Handel has had R super PACs step in on her side. And more prominent party members lend a hand.
To be honest if Osoff wins it will be for reasons similar to Trump. Being an outsider in a anti-establishment time and drawing an opponent with multiple previous runs who is not loved.

Can people really do their research? When you have so much money thrown into any race will the politicians not owe their benefactors? In many cases they sell their souls to get elected and forget who actually elected them.
