58% of you say no. the debate continues online at cnn.com/crossfire as well as on facebook and twitter. we also want to congratulate you, newt gingrich, on the publication of your new amazing book called "breakout." you should really read it. i love it. from the left i'm van jones. >> from the right i'm newt gingrich. join us tomorrow for another edition of "crossfire." cnn's coverage of election night continues now with piers morgan live in new york. piers morgan live midnight on the east coast. i welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. the morning after election night. in virginia a governor's race closer than anybody expected thanks to bill and hillary clinton's ally terry mcauliffe squeaking by tea party favorite

ken cucinnelli. >> virginia, thank you for the honor of electing me to serve as the 72nd governor of the commonwealth of virginia. >> meanwhile in new jersey, chris christie wins re-election and takes his victory lap while keeping an eye on his future. >> our first job is to get the job done. and as long as i'm governor, that job will always always be finished. [ cheers and applause ] >> we begin now with wolf blitzed in washington with tonight's up to the minute results. wolf, bring us up to speed with what happened tonight. >> all right, piers. thank you. the governor's race in virginia as you say certainly more suspenseful than expected. but in the end the former democratic party chairman, terry mcauliffe, pulled it out defeating republican ken cucinnelli who was embraced by the tea party movement. 48% for mcauliffe, 45% for

cucinnelli. 7% for the libertarian candidate robert sarvis. in the end mcauliffe will be the next governor of virginia. in new jersey a big re-election win for the republican incumbent governor chris christie. his acceptance speech tonight possibly a warmup for a 2016 presidential bid. in the end a crushing win over barbara buono. 60% for chris christie, 38% for her. an impressive win for chris christie. in new york city, bill deblasio will become the first democratic mayor, get this, in two decades, taking over for the republican turned independent michael bloomberg. bill deblasio will be the next mayor of new york. so lots of excitement. lots of political activity and lots to think about in the days, weeks and months ahead. piers? >> wolf, this defeat of the tea party man, ken cucinnelli, how significant is that in terms of the tea party's prospects going forward to 2014 and then 2016?

>> i can't tell you how many establishment republicans have said to me in recent weeks they thought terry mcauliffe was a flawed democratic candidate for governor of virginia, but they knew this tea party-backed ken cucinnelli, he had some problems in virginia as well. if they would have gone with a more establishment, more moderate republican, a lot of republicans said to me, terry mcauliffe probably would have been in up deeper trouble especially because the affordable care act obama care as it's called was becoming increasingly unpopular in the final weeks of this campaign in virginia. but in the end, a win is a win as you know. and terry mcauliffe will be the governor. >> in terms of chris christie, wolf, obviously a big big win. but significantly i think for his prospects going forward as a potential presidential candidate. right across the board in almost all the key demographic, african-americans, latinos, women. what does that say about his chances at a general election?

and will it help him get to a place where he can be a republican nominee? >> you know, he certainly would be a formidable challenger. let's say hillary clinton got the democratic nomination. chris christie has the incumbent governor of new jersey would certainly be formidable. his big problem, though, is going to win that republican nomination. he's got to win in conservative states like iowa or south carolina. that's not going to be easy for chris christie. but still a lot of time between now and then. >> finally, wolf, new york city the first democratic mayor in two decades. bill deblasio. what do you make of that? >> he's a very, very liberal guy. a lot more liberal than a lot of democrats probably thought would be winnable, if you will, because there hasn't been a democratic mayor in such a long time. but he won. he won impressively. he's going to be the mayor. he's got a liberal agenda. very progressive. makes no bones about it. he's going to try to do what he wants to raise taxes on very wealthy people. he's got a lot of other

so-called progressive ideas. it's going to be a shift from michael bloomberg and certainly from rudy giuliani, the former republican mayor of new york. >> wolf, fantastic job as always tonight orchestrating events for us. thank you very much indeed. governor's race in virginia was a lot closer than just about anybody expected, but in the end former dnc chairman terry mcauliffe eeked out the victory. joining me is cnn's chief congressional correspondent dana bash. dana, more exciting tonight than we expected. the significance of ken cucinnelli losing in the way that he did. is it bad that he lost or is it encouraging for the tea party that it was quite close? >> reporter: probably all of the above. if you're a member of the tea party or if you are a staunch conservative who believes in the ideals that he was running on, not just in the general election but when he won the primary much to the chagrin as wolf was just

alluding to of many republicans in this commonwealth of virginia and broadly across the country because they understand what a bellwether virginia tends to be with regard to the national election. but piers, i have to tell you, coming into this ballroom tonight there were so many mcauliffe supporters, staffer, aides, who were remarkably optimistic and comfortable and confident in a way that even those who in the years i've been covering politics, maybe if they feel they at least pretend that they're a little bit nervous. but as the night went on they certainly got more nervous. because it was closer than we thought. and i actually caught up with terry mcauliffe himself when he was glad handing, shaking hands with supporters here and asked him about that. listen to what happened. >> how do you feel? >> great. great night. it was a great campaign. >> was it a little bit too close for comfort for you? >> i always said it was going to be close. i always said it was going to be a couple of points. the day i got, in it's been a 35-plus-year curse of whoever wins the white house, the other

party wins the governor's mansion. we always knew it was going to be tough. great field team, great volunteers, spectacular. it's a great win. we're happy. now we've got a lot of work to do. >> reporter: piers, you heard him talking about the curse here in virginia. it is true that it has been almost half a century since there has been a democrat in the white house and a democrat won the governor's mansion here in virginia. and that does certainly tell you something about the way virginia has been going over the past two presidential cycles, of course, barack obama had a surprising win in 2008 and then did it again in 2012. so virginia which had been pretty much reliably red on a national scale has been turning. the fact that terry mcauliffe has now won, it puts the commonwealth of virginia solidly in the tossup column and makes it a very important state for 2016. very interesting his very close

personal friend who campaigned for him, raised money for him, hillary clinton, may be running for president herself. so she's going to have, if she does, a very close ally here for primaries and also for a general election if she does get that far. >> she certainly will. dana bash, thank you very much for your sterling work as well this evening. much appreciate it. cnn's john king is here to break down the votes tonight behind tonight's big victories. john. >> piers, the map says it all what happened in new jersey tonight. look at all that red in what has traditionally been a big blue state. a landslide for chris christie. he wins re-election as new jersey's governor already thinking about running for president from 2016. a very different story in the gubernatorial election in virginia. a lot of red for ken cucinnelli. but because of the blue in the washington, d.c. suburbs in northern virginia terry mcauliffe eeking out a narrow victory thanks to his is up sport in the suburbs. exit polls, again a gender gap in presidential politics.

favored president obama last time. christie will make the case even against a woman democratic opponent he won the women's vote a majority of the electorate, handily carried the men's vote. chris christie will make that his calling card as he looks to 2016. among african-americans, yes, his democratic opponent won. but look at this. remember barack obama won more than 9 in 10 african-american votes. chris christie getting 21% of that voerkts dramatically up doubling that vote for four years ago. he'll make the case that's much better than john mccain and mitt romney. in latino voters, the republican candidate running even. even slightly ahead in the race for latino votes. with immigration reform in the forefront with with new mexico, nevada, there is no doubt that his performance after hurricane sandy helped him 85% of the voters today approved of how christie handled the aftermath

of the storm. it was a huge factor in his big win tonight. virginia right now and the competing forces in terry mcauliffe's victory. why was ken cucinnelli the republican so close? in part piers in large part because opposition to obama care. a huge issue in the fine days of the campaign because of all the glitches in the rollout. a majority of virginians opposed the president's health care plan voted for ken cucinnelli but it wasn't enough. even though enough to keep ken cucinnelli close, terry mcauliffe using in this campaign number one the gender gap. women by a slight margin outnumbered men. they voted big for the democratic candidate terry mcauliffe. a big part of terry mcauliffe's win in the suburbs, suburban women. the gender gap one big factor. another thing he did especially after the government shutdown, he said ken cucinnelli was the darling of the tea party. 42% of virginia voters opposed the tea party movement. look at what they did today. those voters giving a huge edge to mcauliffe. in a close race the tea party a

huge factor here. in the end this was the essence of terry mcauliffe's campaign message even in a state that has been reliably red in the past, he said ken cucinnelli was too conservative. after the electorate agreed with terry mcauliffe in a close race painting his opponent as an extremist on the social issues and tea party agenda enough to give terry mcall their narrow victory in the state of virginia. people will study the maps as we look forward to 2016. this one very closely because of virginia's key role as a presidential swing state. piers? >> thank you very much indeed, john king. when we come back new jersey's big man wins a very big victory and talks to cnn's jake tapper. i got this.

the biggest thing i have learned over the last four years about leadership is that leadership is much less about talking 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 tinian right now and see how it is done. chris christie with a message for washington in his victory speech. jake tapper has a closer look at the man who might be the single most popular politician in america tonight. >> governor chris christie celebrating tonight in new jersey, the second term when that solidifies his place as one of the premier politicians. he had lived a great deal of his speech with his straight talking style that has helped make him an all-star. >> there is an open bar tonight, i guess. welcome to new jersey. >> the republicans spent the day doing last-minute campaigning and invited us along for the

right. and he had advice for his fellow republicans. >> the party has to focus on winning again. sometimes i feel like our party cares more about winning the argument in the election. if elections can't govern. can't govern you cannot change the direction of the state like we have done in new jersey. i think we need to get ourself focused on that and secondly, i think sometimes we forget that candidates matter. not just about a check list of issues. also about how person presents themselves as a candidate, how they articulate their view on things and how they react. people make judgments based on all of those things. >> i heard criticism from a democrat about you and more about the media and the public, which is if he wins, it is a triumph of personality over policy. meaning people in this state

tend to disagree with you on a lot of issues. they will re-elect you. because they like your style. is that a fair criticism? >> it is why they're losing because they think that is the way people make decisions. kind of what i was implying in the last answer. they think people go down a checklist of issues and like the pro and con and they draw a line and they say if there are more checks for this person then that person, then that is the person i vote for. that is not the way people but my experience. i think voting is much more visceral. people say can i trust this person. did they leave, do they tell me the truth. a look at the issues, too. of that analysis from a democrat is like as if people are robots and i say this to folks in town hall meeting spirit look in the mayor because you are the only person you agree with 100% of the time. if we demand that --

>> are you a tea party republican? >> there are elements that republicans are at their best. limited government, in favor of individual liberty and freedom. help on government spending questioning taxes and the way they are spent. the core of the tea party movement as i understand it is very consistent with good conservative republicanism. what happens is when some folks use that movement, using the theory to try to enhance themselves politically, sometimes that movement can get perverted. listen, there are a lot of principles that i agree with and have governed new jersey and a way that is consistent with that. >> a lot of them think you are a rhino, a republican in name only. >> that is some folks who say if you ever say anything nice about

a democrat, you are a rhino. they can call me whatever they want. i don't care. my view is let people judge me by my record. i have cut taxes in the state, our budget in 2014 spent less than fiscal 2008. we have reformed pension benefits, and if they did that stepped in washington, they would be having a parade for the washington republicans. they can call me whatever they want. i look at my record and most people would object if they look at my record. it is a solid conservative record. and for goodness sakes, almost everybody is being called that now. if you work in favor of the government shutdown, you are a right now. i don't pay any attention to that. >> even though he secured the job of governor, many suspect his sights are set on the 2016

presidential bid. he insists he is focused on his new term as governor, he has taken steps to address some of the questions that might have the presidential hopeful, such as his health. he recently had surgery to help control his weight. >> people talk about how you look great. how was your help? >> i feel good. we are a little more than halfway to my goal. and in the last two months, that is really good. i sleep better. the biggest difference for me, i did not feel badly. at my previous weight. but i did not realize how poorly i slept. i will couple lot during the night and did not get enough continuous sleep. it is beneficial for my staff because i have more energy which they didn't think was possible a little more than halfway to my goal and eight months. i am happy about that. it is a great feeling and it is

hard work. but i feel like for the first time in 25 years i feel like i have at half white, which is really nice. it is nice not to be as frustrating as i was before. >> chris christie is the man of the hour, the man of the moment, the man everyone will talk about tomorrow as a potential presidential candidate. has he set his sights beyond new jersey? a great night for chris christie. the speech he would argue perhaps was not really for the people of new jersey but the wider audience. >> you think? what, i find a good speech in good rhetoric, he wants to talk about his record. i want to say this clearly and early on the record. don't believe the hype with chris christie. the method of chris christie will pop like a big balloon under close scrutiny.

he ran unopposed. if i ran unopposed i could put up those numbers. he wasted $12 million in taxpayer money to make sure that cory booker ran three four weeks ago so he didn't have to deal with democratic turnout appeared he wanted to run up the numbers. he faked the numbers so he could have a big spread fear that is disgusting. and he said i am a great leader. where is he leading new jersey? they have a credit downgrade under his watch and nobody talks about that. they're the worst in every other state in job creation and the reason. this guy has a terrible record, given a total path. you ran unopposed. del believe the hype and do not join the cult of chris christie. >> you are missing the point about this. people like him. that is a rare commodity. >> i like the guy.

i like a lot of people. but i don't want him to be president of the united states. he gets credit for one thing. his stake got hit by a terrible storm and he acted like a decent person. 49 other governors should have done that. that does not qualify you to be president. look at the book that just came out, doubled down. he is late, mean, rude, unpredictable. reason he is not vice-president. when you look at this guy closely and you get past all of the charm, there is a disturbing pattern. his happiest day and everybody jumped up and down and be happy but i will tell you right now the myth of chris christie is going to come apart under close scrutiny. he is a great guide but you don't want him sitting across from the chinese and showing up late for meetings with the russians. this guy is not supposed to be president of the united states. >> let me jump in. he is exactly the kind a guy

america probably needs. lambasting the chinese. >> do you hate america that much? >> i love america but isn't part of the problem russian when dealing with these new threats to the superpowers? isn't he exactly the kind a guy you might grab the madeline say, we're going to start punching it again. >> we don't need archie bunker to be president. we had an of aggression and crazy stuff from george w. bush and we have two wars we cannot pay for. look at what has actually happened in new jersey. you literally have jobs going down, probably taxes going up. nobody calls them on this stuff. a cake walk because he is entertaining. a lot of entertainers that should get their own show. it is ridiculous. >> i did not know how seriously i should taken as a threat until

i heard that. now live and am completely convinced he is a massive threat to you. >> listen. is in fact the case that somebody like this could be snickering you, hoodwinked the world. how can he be physical conservative and waste how $12 million. he is not only afraid to run against but he doesn't want to against but he doesn't want to deal

i will never stop fighting for the city i love and the city we all love so much. and i will never forget as mayor i work for you. >> the new mayor of new york city bill de blasio. it's election day. break it all down with mark preston and the director of the university of virginia center of politics and the author of "the kennedy half century." thank you for staying up so late to break this all down. let me start with you mark preston. give me an overview of how significant or relevant any of what happened tonight may be come a general election in 2016. >> hugely on many levels. let's look at what happened down in alabama. we have the republican establishment winning beating back a tea party candidate down there in a race that could have gone the other way.

we're looking at chris christie right now who clearly is the front runner at least at this moment, piers. he's the front runner for the presidential nomination. will he stay there? unlikely. we'll see somebody else move into that spot as we move ahead. then in virginia right across the river here in washington, d.c., we've seen a democrat take back a seat that's been held by a republican in a state trending blue. a lot of implications not only in 2013 but certainly as we head into 2016. >> two blows for the tea party some would argue. one, obviously, in virginia. but also alabama where tea party candidates are up against a more mainstream gop candidate and lost. how big a blow is this double whammy if it's a blow at all? what is it ted cruz's campaign to use obama care to help the tea party become a real force. >> well, you have to take it from two different perspectives.

the republican establishment in certainly the business community that's become alienated to some degree from the tea party will see both of these elections in virginia and alabama as a repudiation of the tea party. i can already tell just by watching twitter, the twitter feed, that tea party representatives and tea party members see it very differently. they think that ken cuccinelli was way behind. but because he refocused on tea party principles and particularly attacking obama care in the last few weeks closed the gap and made this a much closer race than it was expected to be. and in alabama the candidate who won, the establishment candidate, mr. byrne had e nor nous advantages certainly financially. yet that was also a relatively close race against a tea party candidate who really didn't have much or any establishment backing. so it all depends on how you

interpret elections. and people tend to see what they want to see in the returns. >> bob preston, finally for bill de blasio, probably the most urgent thing he'll face is apparently he's a red sox fan. how's that going to wash with new yorkers? >> i think there's a time and place for politics. this is a time to put politics aside. he wants to be part of red sox nation. he's been part of red sox nation. what's been interesting about bill de blasio on the trail talking about his love of the red sox. that's a sense of authenticity you see in a candidate you don't often see in politicians. every four years when we see these republicans and democrats trekking up to new hampshire, all of a sudden they all become red sox fans because they think that's what they need to do. the fact that de blasio still wears it on his sleeve, it gives him credit. >> and if i can survive as an englishman in new york, i'm sure he'll be fine as a red sox fan.

thank you both very much indeed. >> thank you. lots more to come on tonight's races. stephanie cutter, bill kristol, and candy crowley weigh in after the break.

back with more election night coverage. here with stephanie cutter, bill krist kristol, and candy crow lley. let's start with you, candy. chris christie is the big story tonight. this is a clear marker, i could be the guy that can win us a general election. >> he is a big story. i might argue that cuccinelli coming this close is pretty amazing given the polls we looked at. but to christie, this is the story he wanted. i mean, he wanted this headline. he's close to 60% the last time looking at the polls which is a massive win. he is going to do better in those demographic groups that republicans have so alluded

republicans. latinos, african-americans, women, women, women. in the end there are more women voters than there are men and they vote in higher percentages. so this is his presentation to the republican party tomorrow morning. he won't have to say a word. in some ways to me, chris christie is to new jersey what bill clinton was to arkansas. he was a moderate democrat in a red state. and chris christie is -- calls himself a conservative. whatever you want to call him, he's a republican in a blue state proving you can win there. >> bill chrkristol, let me turn you. is the reality that if you hadn't had this inkpent candidate getting perhaps a percent of the vote they could have won. and it would have been a big win. >> ken cuccinelli ran better in virginia than mitt romney when

he was the candidate. ken cuccinelli did not run a good campaign. he was hurt by the shutdown which affected northern virginia. when the government shutdown ended, cuccinelli was down eight, ten points. he closed in the last three weeks. not because he was outspent massively, because of obama care. for me the two big takeaways of tonight is chris christie being an impressive governor and impressive politician and will be a force to reckon with nationally. and obama care is toxic. it was dominating the last two weeks. cuccinelli closed on obama care. opposing it. mcauliffe embraced it. cuccinelli said i'll do everything i can to resist and fight obama care. that's what enabled cuccinelli to make this as close as he did. >> how are you reading it tonight? >> i read it as a rejection of the republican party which is different than what bill just

said. if you look at what's happening in new jersey, chris christie ran not as a partisan republican but really as a moderate. and the thing that bolstered his numbers from the beginning was the hurricane. hurricane sandy where he put politics aside and got heavily criticized by the republican party. look at the exits in new jersey. even though there's an overwhelming win for him, they're rejecting the republican party. 58% disapprove of the republican party. and in virginia we see what's happening in the race. the votes are still out in fairfax. we don't know what the margin is going to be. but the maher gin will be significant. cuccinelli is seen as too extreme on abortion, on contraception, even on economic issues. according to some exit polls, 83% of virginia voters are opposing the tea party. that means something. that means that the republican reboot that happened a year ago which we haven't seen yet hasn't worked, hasn't appeared, and they really need to start thinking about how they're going to run in the future.

what they're doing isn't working. >> thanks a lot, panel. when we come back, the political scandal to end all scandals. doesn't get worse than a politician caught smoking crack cocaine. can mayor rob ford talk out of this one? >> yes, i have smoked crack cocaine. but no -- do i? am i an addict? no. people don't have to think about where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions-- it matters. ♪

yes, i spoked crack cocaine. but no -- do i? am i an addict? no. have i tried it? probably in one of this drunken stupors approximately a year ago. >> well part of making your city run smoothly, smoking crack cocaine tends to be a big story. talking about toronto's mayor rob ford. robin, let me start with you. you've been running lots of stories on this over the last year. were you even remotely surprised that he finally broke down and confessed today, the mayor, that it had been true all along? >> yeah, i actually was completely surprised.

i happened to be standing in that press conference. he just suddenly stopped and turned to the media which is unusual. he doesn't talk to reporters very often. he said ask me the question you asked me last may. may been when toronto star and gawker reported initially. then someone said do you smoke crack? he said yes, i smoked crack cocaine. he dug in the heels the last six months. it was a remarkable moment. >> natalie, what's been the reaction? his approval ratings have actually gone up since all this has come out over the last 24 hours. is that true and can he sustain that? >> that's right. it was last week when toronto's police chief stood up and said he has this famous crack video which allegedly showed the mayor smoking from a crack pipe. his approval rating climbed about five points then. we don't have a poll to reflect the thoughts on today's admission, but certainly a lot

of surprise from counselors. many of the allies who had stood by him, you know, up until last week were calling for him to take at least a temporary leave of absence today following his admission. >> robin, let's play a clip from the mayor today talking about his job. let's see what he had to say. >> i was elected to do a job. and that's exactly what i'm going to continue doing. >> can he continue to do this or will the pressure get simply overwhelming? >> i think at this point it would be unusual if he actually did step aside. if no impeachment legislation at city council that anyone can remove him. he showed up today in campaign mode. he wore cowboy boots and a football tie. he was very much invoking sort of a tea party-esque republican style of politics. as far as he's concerned, the election for 2014 has started.

>> natalie, i was watching the reaction on twitter today. i actually tweeted myself. i felt a bit sorry for him. i don't know why i felt that. i was watching it go into meltdown. i thought he's not corrupt, he's just being daft. he couldn't remember it happening. what has been the reaction from the public in toronto? on twitter there's a lot of i would say jovial responses tinged with some saying he's let down the city and let down the country. >> oh, absolutely. to watch twitter at this point is a fascinating social experiment to see the commentary that comes in. i think my favorite tweet today came after the press conference when he felt as though a thousand pounds was lifted from his shoulders. yeah a thousand pounds off your shoulders to us as a city. we're well aware he's making headlines all over the world and not just in news shows. in comedy shows as well. >> robin, is it necessarily a

terrible thing? or does it just make him seem a bit of a character who at least now has finally come clean. many celebrities, you know, come clean about this kind of thing, do a bit of rehab and bounce back stronger and more successful than ever. is there any reason why just because he's a politician he couldn't follow that path? >> you really have to remember that for the last six months, the mayor has been on a rampage calling especially my newspaper the toronto star which has been reporting on his substance issues for much of the year that we're pathological liars, that we're maggots. he's used very divisive language that's fractured the city. his friends and associates have been arrested on ferris charges. they've been trying to retain this video after we first reported on it. there's a shooting that is somehow caught in on this. there's a massive police

investigation. his brother called for the chief of police to resign earlier this morning for lying or being biased, i should say. this isn't just kind of someone saying i got caught doing something wrong. this has been someone lying about it and attacking everyone for six months. so that's why i think the city is reacting the way that it is. >> so 1-0 to the maggots tonight by the sound of it. that was a joke, robin. you don't have to laugh. it's all right. ladies, thank you both very much indeed. let's go now to counselor that was a big supporter of the mayor today. he joins me on the phone. why have you done a u-turn on the mayor? >> well, because he's let down his supporters. and i'm one of them he needs to take a leave of absence. it's clear that he was not truthful to the city of toronto.

he wasn't forthcoming. and being under police investigation, police flying overhead taking pictures of him involved in substances and hanging out with criminals and individuals in the drug trade. this all is a very big problem for the city of toronto. >> clearly a personal failing. he's admitted to that today. why should that preclude him from perhaps seeking help and continuing in his job? >> well, part of the leave of absence would be for him to seek the counseling and help that we all think that hep needs. and quite frankly, many of us at the city feel this is not the end of it. there's just been one tranche of information released. just today it was announced there were wiretaps that were

authorized and that information has been locked down by the courts. that information is going to be coming forward. there will be potentially more damaging information related to his circumstances. we have business to conduct with the city. and this all will be very -- it will make it very difficult for us to move forward and do the things we need to do. >> if it's as damaging as you say, how come the approval ratings appear to be going up since all this? >> he's a remarkable individual. and a lot of people have put their faith in him. the question is is -- when will the public feel that he's basically taking advantage of them and that he has abused that trust that they've given him. >> so you're not going to perform another u-turn. for you he has to stand down and

that's it. >> i think if he were to take a time-out and assess the situation, let all the information come out and then consider what his next step is, how he can best serve the city, that would be, i think, the most reasonable step for him to take to heal himself and try to deal with some of his problems. >> thank you very much for joining me. >> pleasure. >> and we'll be right back. honestly, i'm a little old fashioned. i love chalk and erasers. but change is coming. all my students have the brand new surface. it has the new windows and comes with office, has a real keyboard, so they can do real work. they can use bing smartsearch to find anything in the world... or last night's assignment. and the battery lasts and lasts, so after school they can skype, play games, and my favorite...do homework. change is looking pretty good after all. ♪ [ chicken caws ] [ male announcer ] when your favorite food starts a fight,
