that's what the democrats are realizing this morning. >> and the president is going to have a press conference to address the nation. and on friday, bringing leads from both parties to the white house. because people are wondering what these next two years mean to him, the results from last night. >> hope he brings more than coffee and doughnuts. it was a crushing defeat for the democrats. democrats lost not only in purple states and red states, which we anticipated, but we also lost in blue states. maryland, massachusetts, illinois. it was -- it was a crushing defeat because i think conventional wisdom said you know what? a tough year because of the president. but in addition to that, our candidates didn't have a message to galvanize democrats. and now democrats will have to do what republicans know how to do. that is to write an autopsy report and hope we can rebirth the party in two years. >> coming into the night, the republican brand was as damaged as the democrats, how do they do coming out?

>> it's still very damaged. and both political parties are looked at negatively. the republicans better not misread this. this wasn't a vote for them, it was a rejection of the and the politics that's been practiced the last couple of years in washington, d.c. >> so to see a real difference today from the president and the republicans as well? >> i hope so. voters sent a message to washington. they want compromise. they want washington to focus on their concerns and they want us to stop fighting. >> and get the job done. that's really what the american public wants. they want the job done. >> we are going to hear from both sides today. thank you both very much. and the focus turning to 2016 and the race for the white house. earlier i spoke with one of the early favorites in the republican party, chris christie. big night for the governors races. and the chairman of the republicans governors' association. didn't just hold on to wisconsin, florida, michigan, surprised dems in blue states.

aftermath of hurricane sandy. if you were going give him advice, what to do? >> sit down with mitch mcconnell and john boehner and lay out an agenda you can agree on. there's no other way to do it. the president took a beating last night. and the fact is, you have to sit down, then, with the folks on the other side and say, okay, let's see what we can agree on together. and i think the president needs to lead. i have been urging him to do that for years. he needs to lead and work with these folks. >> the executive order on immigration, lifting some deportations on his own. >> the president should look to work with the new republican congress. the people elected a new republican congress. and the president shouldn't look to go around them, he should look to work with them. >> what does this mean to you? you are looking at 2016. you had a big night last night. how does this shape your thinking about the presidential race? >> it gave me experience in terms of traveling around the country. for me and mary pat and the

kids, to get a feel what would that be like? over the last 11 months, i have been to 37 states. in the last five days, 19 states in five days supporting gubernatorial candidates. gives you a feel for what that life might be like. we sit down and think about this stuff. >> moved you closer to running? >> no, not fair to say. i haven't had time to think about it. what i'm looking for is a nap. on the other stuff, we have time, and we will. >> okay. thank you for your time this morning. >> thanks, george. >> big smile for two hours sleep. >> two more hours than you got last night. all the focus on the senate, rightfully so, big win for the governors across the country. >> what a surprise. people were not expecting the republicans to pick up not only their own states, hold states like florida, but win in maryland and massachusetts last night. and in illinois, the president's home state. that is big. that is a surprise and that certainly helps chris christie.

happening but i feel that something is going to happen. >> i think that for most of us it won't happen until after sundown. heavy rain tonight and tomorrow morning, we can't rule out a stray shower today. temperatures in gaithersburg are all very cloudy right now, showers are fizzling as they move through. too much dry air to overcome it at the surface. moistening things up our way on the atmosphere, a couple of showers developing, temperatures in the mid to upper 60's tonight . rain likely into the day, joining us to become breezy and cool on friday. >> thank you and thank you for watching. we will see you back here for the news at noon
