Called fascinating and astonishing, hes launching a Worldwide Survey of catholics on issues ranging from gay marriage to divorce. What will he do with the answers . Hi, everyone, im tamron hall. The news nation is following how the watt Political Parties are digesting results of elections in key races could have Significant Impact in the coming years. After his landslide victory last night, new Jersey Governor Chris Christie speaking at an event in union city, new jersey. Well bring you the latest on what Chris Christie is saying on this day after. And Chris Christies 60 is largely being seen as a big win for the socalled establishment republicans. As the New York Times puts it, quote, in a state where democrats outnumber republicans by over 700,000, mr. Christie won a majority of the vote with women and hispanics and made inroads among Younger Voters and blacks. Christie won 32 of democrats and 51 of latinos and 21 of africanamericans. Meanwhile, in virginia, after democrat Terry Mcauliffe narrowly won by 3 points. Its another wakeup call for republicans, saying in part that republicans have to stop nominating ideologually pure ring wingers who scare lots of voters and say most voters dont want the tea party or whatever you want to call the local swap of the uncompromising hard right that too often picks gop candidates these days. They were hoping for a victory that would have been a referendum on the president s law while democrats were hinging on a referendum of the tea party. 5 of voters oppose the Health Care Law, a factor as to why the race is so close there. Eric ericsson writes, cuccinellis deficit in the polls started shrinking and loss in a race, everyone, myself included, expected to be a blowout for mcauliffe. Much of mcauliffes boost is being attributed to women voters along with 48 who blame republicans for the government shutdown. Many more factors at play last night. And here to talk about them, mark murray, politicos james and patricia murphy. Thank you all for joining us. Let me start with you, Chris Christie is still speaking here. You saw that confidence, that new jersey swagger, whatever you want to call it but also saw christie pushing the message of compromise today that not everyone gets everything they want. How does that affect his popularity or lack there of with the tea party and people hell have to get past if his intention is to run for president. Nothing better than hosting a press conference after winning a race by 22 percentage points. It must feel good to explain and talk about your message and victory. As far as what Chris Christie represents in 2016, we have a long time to go. We dont know how this idealogical divide playing in the Republican Party the last several months will continue over the next couple of years is going to play out. He does represent a strain of republicanism that is not the tea party at all. What he represents and he is very conservative, but that sometimes you need to make compromises and sometimes it benefits you to embrace the benefit of the opposition party, while still upholding what you end up believing in. What you often see from the tea party, compromise, a four letter word, should never be had. I think that is the big divide in the Republican Party today. We know we have a long way to go. One trend and we know the exit polling and we talk about this a lot, is based on trends or things we might see. One trend with chris yichristie the number with the tea party has gone down. The groups not successful with, africanamericans and women, seem to be ticking up if were looking at this snapshot today for Chris Christie. Cross over appeal, demonstrated in the exit polls and nbc wall street journal poll showing hes popular with democrats and nonTea Party Republicans. Where he runs into problems is with Tea Party Republicans and whether or not they see him acceptable or not. That story will still be played outcome 2015, 2016, maybe in iowa and New Hampshire and other states to come. Let me play a little bit of what christie said a short time ago at this News Conference. Lets play it, guys. I think the word from last night, at least in new jersey, people like who i am. And like the way i govern. So im going to continue to be that way. I have no responsibilities other than the responsibilities i have in the state. As i implied last night, anybody can draw lessons from that, they are welcome to. Let me ask you, if youre not doing a good job, that people would not be asking if he wants to run for president or if he would go on to be the leader of the free world. I think people also ask when they see your political ambitions on your shirt sleeve, some would argue ted cruz is not doing a great job. And we still ask if hes going to run for president. The show horse, workhorse dynamic here and its absolutely can come into play. I talked to a lot of democrats very frustrated that there wasnt more national help. She was not able to land a punch on christie, able to take the victory lap and have this coronation and run up the large margin letting him go in conservative states and make the case to activists in iowa and South Carolina that he can win National Elections and make inroads with these groups. Thats what the numbers are all about, giving him the key talking point which well hear excessantly over the next years. Barbara buono was absolutely furious, i think is the world or greatly disappointed at the party and how she feels they were not there for her. Let me play a little of what she said. The Democratic Political bosses, some elected and some not. Made a deal with this governor, despite him representing everything they are supposed to be against, they didnt do it to help the state, they did it out of a desire to help themselves politically and financially. Patricia, before i get your thoughts, i want to play with Debbie Wasserman shultz said this morning with chuck todd rartding whether there was a missed opportunity. If you look more closely, you can attribute this to anything more than a Big Personality and aftermath of hurricane sandy. You still have unemployment above the national average. Youve got no coat tails at all. The voters rejected christies opposition so the minimum wage and voted to increase it. This is a personality win, aftermath of a Natural Disaster win and not much more compare Barbara Buono to what we heard from Debbie Wasserman shultz. Barbara would have loved democrats to say that before the election instead of after the election. I talked to a number of Democratic National fundraisers at the beginning and asked them the same question, why are you not trying to slow down this christie train . Hes going to barrel out of new jersey straight into the 2016 talk. They did nothing to land a punch or slow them down. Democrats firmly believe that Chris Christie has no chance of winning the republican nomination. They said thats wasted money. If anything this was going to let republicans set up their own family feud dynamic and let christie have a fight with the tea party and let them drive themselves crazy. They do not believe christie can get out of republican territory. I dont know that to be true. Democrats did also nothing to help Barbara Buono. The president did not endorse her. Debbie Wasserman Shultz did go to the state but they gave her minimal resources. There will be head scratching and finger pointing later on. Democrats did nothing to change that dynamic by saying with a Wasserman Shultz said this morning instead of on monday morning. Lets talk about virginia, despite a victory by Terry Mcauliffe and well get the final numbers, the bottom line, you have some democrats wondering why this race was so close. Let me read from your article on politico on why he barely won. It blunts the narrative that this was a clean win for democrats going into 2014 and guarantees an intense blame game among republicans about what might have put cuccinelli over the top there. What are the republicans saying today . I spent all day on the phone with republicans across the spectrum from the cuccinelli campaign to the republican establishment nbc to other outside groupz and there is a lot of finger pointing going on wouldnt necessarily have had if the race was the blowout that people suspected. But because it was within three points and the fact that cuccinelli was outspent by 15 million, theres a real sense among people who are involved in that campaign that if they would have had a couple more Million Dollars, they would have been able to get over the top. The Republican National committee spent 9 million on that race in 2009. They spent less than 3 million this year. The chamber of commerce spent a Million Dollars helping to elect Bob Mcdonnell in 2009. They spent nothing on cuccinelli. Theres a lot of frustration on the right that the interest in d. C. Did not contribute as much as they should. Mark, were looking at the issues that matter most to voters in virginia, the economy at 45 , health care 27 , abortion, 20 . As it relates to that state and transportation was for, but the Health Care Number as well, what stood out as far as this reaction to where things stand and getting the law off the ground and people signed up. Well, there were a lot of different issues that people said it was the most important to them according to the exit poll and mentioning the Health Care Republicans after the race tried to seize on health care and website rollout woes and everything involved with it. Theres a reason why the race was closer than a lot of polls and first couple of waves of exit polls suggested. Theres kind of a mixed bag for republicans for that. On the one hand the Health Care Law was unpopular, 46 said they supported it. 53 opposed it. But when you go down into other numbers and mention abortion, i was struck by the fact that 61 of virginia voters and this is a swing state, says abortion should be legal. Then you look at the tea party and its standing, 28 support the tea party in virginia. You can argue there were forces, even more unpopular than the Health Care Law. The Health Care Law became a rallying cry for republicans and that did help Ken Cuccinelli when it came to getting out the vote efforts. With women voters as well, we talked about it in the jep election and well continue to talk about the fact that if a party is seen as not advancing progressively, i think issues as it relates to women, they will be punished. Yeah and i would love it if we had a conversation about women voters other than the day after reelection, barely talks about women voters until they are like, what do we do to not attract women voters. I think cuccinelli and the virginia Republican Party, he has been known to be extremely conservative, particularly on abortion and virginia Republican Party is the party that came in with the number of very restrictive contraception measures. Women in Northern Virginia paid attention to that all the way up to this race. I dont know mcauliffe did a lot to help himself among women but cuccinelli, his brand was so baked into the cake, it would be hard for him to change the conversation with women going into it and please Pay Attention to these other items. I think particularly among single women, he lost single women by 42 points. You cannot do that with a fifth of the electorate and expect to win an election. If he had done better among single women, he would have had a better chance of pulling this out. Thank you all. Greatly appreciate it. Coming up on news nation make no mistake, the people of this city have chosen a progressive path. And tonight we set forth on it. Together as one city. Bill de blasio, preparing to take the helm as first democratic mayor of new york city in 20 years and wants to bring with him and will bring with him an a progressive agenda. What he and mayor Michael Bloomberg talked about this afternoon in a photograph that had a lot of people talking and discussing body language. From one mayor to another. Torontos rob ford apologizes for using crack cocaine but he says, he will not step down and is there anything that can be done to force him out . I know what i did was wrong. And admitting it was the most difficult and embarrassing thing that ive ever had to do. Folks, itch nothing left to hide.

Oh what a relief it is rob ford says hes not resigning despite the admission he smoked crack cocaine and saying he probably did it in one of his drunken stupors, poll numbers have gone up since allegations first surfaced in may. And he held a second News Conference saying he intends to run for reelection next year. I was elected to do a job. And thats exactly what im going to continue doing. On october 27th of 2014, i want the people of this great city to decide whether they want rob ford to be their mayor. Joining me now live in austin been reporting on this for the New York Times, joining us live from the canadian capital. Thank you for joining me. Ian, there is no legal path as i understand it to force rob ford out and hes not been charged with any crime at this point. Where does this go . Well, thats the Million Dollar question in toronto right now. There could be any number of directions. Theres an Ongoing Police investigation, very substantial police investigation, so we dont really know the status of that, whether that will affect the mayor. But if rob ford doesnt want to go, its going to be difficult to get rid of him. Counsel can probably limit his powers but cant throw him out. His brother is a member of council as well. Other than his brother, who are his supporters and who are the people ticking the numbers up prior to this admission that he did smoke crack . Well, i think its important with the whole poll to look at numbers. It showed there was approval for leadership as mayor but at the same time an overwhelming who responded who wanted him out of office. Where his base of support is is basically a number of suburban cities amall gam ated in 1990 aerks theyve not shared in the growth and prosperity the old city has seen. Theres a lot of angst and anxiety in the community, rob ford was the guy who tapped into that in the last election. The police chief is indicating or has said there maybe a second tape here, delivered to discuss this, going back to a criminal investigation. If there is another tape and this is still ongoing, i mean, logically it would seem at this point that this really does turn into possible charges here. Well, we have as you said, we have no idea whats on the second tape. The second tape there is no basis for charges. In canada the crime is possession of cocaine. A videotape that looks like hes using cocaine is just not sufficient evidence to be charged there. Thank you very much but sorry, all of this is mired up with murders, gangs in the suburb ban part of toronto hes from. Last week the guy who acts as rob fords occasional driver, even though he was caught reading documents while driving his Cadillac Escalade down expressways, wont take a city driver, this guy has been charged with extortion in connection with getting the tape back. Hes a known criminal whose been convicted a number of times of assault charges. A lot of sorted details and thank you, greatly appreciate the update there. Thank you. When we come back, new Surveillance Video has been released today in the case of 17yearold Kendrick Johnsons death. But why police say they dont see how his body ended up inside a rolled up gym mat despite there bei
