Out and a republican picks that up for a net gain of one. Youre going to be seeing on the lowerr right portion of your screen as we look at shellys victory what is the break down of the guaranteed races we know.

Remember republicans will need 51 because the tiebreaker in this senate goes to joe biden s president of the senate if ts a 50 50 senate. He will be the tiebreaker so republicans would need that extra seat. Growing indications tonight just might be the night they get it.

The white house is claiming it does have a plan to give in to the states for going their own way on the ebola quarantine. Right now federal and state ebola policy is all over the place. One person who is being his usual decisive self, however, is new jersey governor Chris Christie, this is what he said in melbourne, florida today about the nurse he had isolated and about the Obama Administrations ebola policy. Its a commonsense approach its a commonsense approach that the federal government wasnt taking. It has now been adopted by chicago and now by maryland. As i said yesterday on the news, this should become the national policy, it is a smart, commonsense policy. Their policy is not exactly as stringent as new jerseys, but they do have a good policy there. Is this fight between the states and washington about ebola ending, or is it just beginning . I think it is just beginning. One of the things weve learned over the last few days is that as long as there is an ebola crisis in west a

Were going to cover the mexicanamerican war today. This is where a lot of americans. I think they know very we are going to cover the Mexican American war today. This is a war lot of americans think they know very little about. Its considered one of the more embarrassing wars in american history. Theres a reason americans dont want to talk about it. My own mother, even though written a couple books about it still thinks of this as the spanish american war sometimes. We cleared up that confusion a few years back. When im going to do is not take us through battle by battle in the war, mainly in the causes of the war. A little bit about the war itself.
