gotten worse or stayed the same on obama s watch. a huge factor making americans more worried, of course, this summer is the unemployment rate which continues to hover near 10%. this morning, obama will hold a kitchen table chat. you mentioned that. with a family in their columbus home. they ll talk about their very real work and money issues. the same ones facing many americans. money will also be the focus later today when the president headlines a fundraiser for ohio democrat. he then flies to miami for yet another fundraising event. he was in seattle last night. back to you guys. all right. a lot of flight miles getting racked up there. julie, thanks very much for that update. all right. let s do the post-game show. it was primary day in two states. the great state of washington and the great state as well of washington. and wyoming as well and let s take a look at the winners on the democrat side, not a surprise. senator patty murray, three time incumbent is going to
against dino rossi, what s interesting about this particular match, this could determine the control of the u.s. senate. rossi beat an nfl player who courted a number of tea party activists and people in that organization or disorganization, as you might say. and he also wound up with the endorsement of governor sarah palin. however, that did not help. interesting thing about that race, i didn t know that about washington state is apparently all the candidates, republican or democrat are on the same panel when you go when you vote or when you mail in your vote so just the top two point getters actually end up being the ones that face off against each other. interesting way to do that. other states looking to move in that direction and having that same kind of ballot card lined up which is interesting. in wyoming, your point of governor sarah palin s endorsement didn t help in wyoming this morning. republican matthew meade barely squeaked out a victory.
