Should not expect him to serve to completion. We have not entered the era in new jersey politics that will be known as the oh, man, not our government is governor is running for president. That is what it seemed like in the speech. The biggest thing i have heard about leadership is that leadership is much less about talking then it is about listening, about bringing people around the table, listening to each other, showing them respect, doing what needed to be done to be able to bring people together and to achieve what we needed to achieve to move our state forward. Now, listen, i know that if we can do this in trenton, new jersey, maybe the folks in washington d. C. Should turn in their tvs right now to see how its done. If what you are hoping for in the new jersey governance was more, hey, washington, look at me congratulations, it will be very satisfying second turn of the chris chris the governorship. In alabama, we have followed the primary in the first congressional district. In
It looks to be very, very close at this hour. Over the weekend, the chairman of the Virginia State Republican Party told politico that a ken kuchenell victory was in reach. If turnouts in the 30s, were going to win. If it gets higher up in fairfax county, say like 40 , its likely we wont win. Well, tonight in blue fairfax county, virginia, shortly before 9 00, he posted, we are at 44. 3 turnout. We will probably hit plus 45 . Virginia republicans were right. The lower the turnout in places like fairfax county, the better for their candidate. As it happens, though, that did not work out for them tonight. Joining us is steve carnaky.

What we saw play out tonight in virginia was a repeat of Election Night in virginia in 2012, where in 2012, romney was leading in the state in all the returns that were out there, 8 00, 9 00, 10 00. Its those big counties, like loudoun, prince william, fairfax county, arlington,
About bringing people around the table, listening to each other, showing them respect. Doing what needed to be done. To be able to bring people together and to achieve what we needed to achieve to move our state forward. Now, listen i know that if we can do this in trenton, new jersey, maybe the folks in washington, d. C. Should tune in their tvs right now. See how its done. Congressiona there. An interesting contest between an establishment conservative republican named rodney byrne on the left and a tea party fire brand candidate on the right. This was seen as a alabama microcosm for the fight that the Republican Party is having within itself. The Associated Press has called that race for byrne, the one who does not say president obama was born in kenya. Bradley byrne will enter the general election for that congressional seat in december, a heavily favored over his democratic opponent. It is southern alabama, after all. The biggest story tonight was in virginia, where the race betwe
Opportunity and should have stepped up their support in the last month. Mcauliffe said cuccinelli was too extreme because of his ties to the tea party. Democrats won three out of the last four governor races in virginia, but mcauliffe said the election was not about picking a party. The truth is that this election was never a choice between democrats and republicans, it was a choice about whether virginia could continue the mainstream bipartisan tradition that has served us so well over the last decade.
