Supporting the mayor. The other candidates are talking about a fresh start, that sounds like they will be focusing on that 2010 campaign. How much trouble do you think the mayor will have overcoming that . Tommy wells says he doesnt deserve a Second Chance because he ran a corrupt campaign in 2010. That will be the issue. He has done a great job. The issue will be that campaign and that may not exclude him from winning. He is the only candidate from east of the river. You give him 7 and 8. Probably going do very well. 4, which will be a battleground, which bowser has to win. Theres the possibility we could have our first white elected mayor since the beginning of roam rule if bowser and gray split the american rule vote. This may be the most exciting campaign. Mayor has his own website. This reelection website very up. Are these donors that have been on the sideline until now wondering whether he was going to jump in .

But vincent gray with a second term in office. If he was cleared, we would hear something, but rod is not one for letting everyone know. But we got to ask you, you asked about a crowded field here. Is anybody likely to get out of the race now that the mayor has declared he will run again . Obviously, nobody said today, you know, but prior to that and private talks, you would think that he wouldnt get in, if the mayor is going to get in, and hes the owner, in any way, so the question remains whether or not these people are going to get in.

Certainly not what most incumbents would have, but anybody else would take that. We dont know if anybody else is going to get this campaign. This just started. So it will be interesting to hear what he has to say. The mayor scheduled a live event shortly. We are there, and obviously well bring this t
The 11th hour last night. The house voted 257167 in favor of the billo t stop the middleclass tax increases and spending cuts to domestic poll ramps. Soon after president obama reacted to the compromise bill. Under this law, more than 98 of americans and 97 of Small Businesses will not see their income taxes go up. Millions of families will have continued to receive tax credits to help raise their kids and send them to college. Companies will continue to receive tax credits for the research they do, the investments they make and the Clean Energy Jobs that they create. And 2 million americans who are out of work but out there looking, pounding the pavement every day, are going to continue to receive Unemployment Benefits as long as theyre actively looking for a job. I am very open to compromise. I agree with democrats and republicans that the aging population and the rising cost of Health Care Makes medicare the biggest contributor to our deficit. I believe weve got to find ways to refo
I was 2 degrees off. 9 in manassas and 6 in leesburg and that is the windchill temperature. Tonight, i maybe going high. Went higher because clouds are going to come in. Single digits in the suburbs. 9 in rockville. 10 in bethesda. 13 downtown. Super cold tonight, but no wind and geez guess what is coming tomorrow . Another clipper. They will break your heart. This one didnt break my heart. This one tomorrow will probably break your heart. Well talk about that one coming up. All right. Speaking of snow, obviously youve had a ton of snow days lately and they are really piling up for kids in our area. They are the gift that keeps on giving. You get one on the end of the backside in fairfax county, montgomery and Prince Georges County, they used all four days and anymore cancellations will have to be made up at the end of the year. In d. C. , they used their three snow days, thats two more than they budgeted for. They will likely be making up those days in june. All right, so how are area

Weve got a dry start this morning across the wjla viewing area but you can see on Doppler Radar here a couple showers in West Virginia and trying to make their way into allegany county, not much more than sprinkles and nothing to be concerned about and best chance of rain after the noon hour, once again, today.
