Traveling 95 in the next few minutes, this is what its looking like near girard, the southbound side. No delays to report, no accidents on 95. It is a good time to travel it, if you need to do so. Still have an accident in hilltown township, southbound 309 just past 113. Its on the shoulder, so its not blocking anything, but you can expect to see a tap of the brakes as drivers pass that scene. Heading to audubon, we have construction, black horse pike southbound just past nicholson road. Thats expected to be blocking the left lane until about 6 00 this morning. And if you travel the burlington bristol bridge, we are anticipating a bridge opening for a ship to pass through around 5 20 this morning, so giving you a headsup in case thats part of your commute. Finally, in delaware, 495 is clear both directions at philadelphia pike. Tracy . Decision 2014 will go down in history. This morning, pennsylvania governor tom corbett is the first pennsylvania governor to not win a second straight term since 1968. Its because, of course, democrat tom wolf defeated corbett by a doubledigit margin, just as the polls predicted. And there goes the governorelect, driving that jeep of his into a Victory Party last night in york. That vehicle, of course, was featured prominently during wolfs campaign ads during the election season. Wolf used his victory speech to lay out his vision for pennsylvania. Our ancestors realized that education was the key to a strong citizenship, to a strong democracy, to a strong economy, to strong families, and we needed to invest in that. We need to make sure that we resurrect that idea here in pennsylvania and make sure that education is at the top of the list, not the bottom. Meantime, governor corbett delivered his concession speech, saying that he phoned wolf to offer his congratulations, and then he summed up his term in office. I said i was going to do what is right for pennsylvania, the tough decisions, and people may not like it. Well, obviously, they didnt like it. I said i may be a oneterm governor, and i am, but i am proud of what we did. Now, public education, pension reform and taxes were just some of the big issues that impacted the race for governor in pennsylvania. Governor elect will have his hands full in january, no doubt. We sent nbc 10s jesse gary to find out and he joins us from university city. We did research, chris, and found out that new direction includes education, investment and job creation. As the governorelect takes office, hes going to need to work with the Republicancontrolled Legislature to continue funding schools in philadelphia and across the state, and get tax hikes passed on certain businesses. We talked to former governor ed rendell, who says his fellow democrat can make fast progress by using existing state spending on infrastructure as a catalyst to pave the way forward. Ill take the bill for transportation infrastructure and uptempo the spending of that money to get the economy moving again, rebuilding our bridges, reconstructing our roads. That will create a lot of wellpaying jobs for pennsylvania, and again, a lot of orders for concrete and steel and aggregate, things that are all very important to get the pennsylvania economy moving again. Reporter in the middle of that agenda is another election, this time for the presidency. Im looking into how the National Election and race will Impact Politics on the state level.

Nbc 10s vai sikahema is live in our digital operations center. Vai, quite an election for the gop. Indeed, tracy. This hasnt happened in eight years. In fact, most telling is that the gop won in some key swing states that president obama won to take the white house two years ago. Lets look at some of the races. Last night, the gop took back the senate by picking up seven victories in swing states. A narrow win in North Carolina pushed republicans over the top there. They needed 51 seats to gain control of the senate. This morning two seats are still undecided. But youre looking at the new Senate Majority leader, republican Mitch Mcconnell turned back a democratic challenge in kentucky to win reelection there. The gop is also expected to pad its majority in the house to near historic levels. And president obama said he wants to sit down with congressional leaders after the election. The white house said you have stations have gone out for a meeting on friday. The president said he wants both parties to plan a way forward. Now, some political observers are saying that the splits in the Republican Party between the Tea Party Activists and the reagan conservatives may, in fact, you know, create their own problems and may create gridlock for the gop. Live in the digital operations center, im vai sikahema. Nbc 10. And we have been monitoring the Election Results all night long. We have many more races to cover this morning.

Lobiondo says his top priority is securing money to retrain the workers that are affected by the Atlantic City casino crisis. He says, though, trying to extend longterm Unemployment Benefits to help those workers could be difficult, since the Unemployment Rate is falling nationwide, but its rising in new jersey. So, when i approach my colleagues about the need for us to have the help here, they look at me and shake their head, because they dont have the same challenges. And in order for that to pass, i need the entire congress to be able to do that. Now, congressman lobiondo is also working with local and state legislators to move Atlantic City forward, he says. He says it wont be fast or easy, but he says they will eventually yield great benefit. And a look at another highprofile race in south jersey, garry cobb losing to Donald Norcross for the district 1 seat representing camden and gloucester county.
