key states you never know how the math of the electoral college will work out in may elections in november but it is clear virginia is key, keep in mind one fact, virginia, the 50 states was actually closest to the national picture in 2008, obama got close to 53% of the national vote, virginia gave him 52.6 that was closer to the national result that any other states that is really unprecedented for virginia, believe me they used to be an out wire in presidential elections. >> and so let's talk about how things have changed since 2008 how has the landscape in virginia shifted if it has at all. >> well, if it shifted, it shifted in two contradictory ways the first is changes that have transformed virginia, from that -- what it used to be a heavily republican state, presidential level to competitive state, those

changes demographic changes have continued especially in northern virginia, if anything, the climate is more favorable for president obama, than it was in 2008, but, the national climate, the national economy, is less favorable, so i would expect virginia to be closer and much more competitive in 2012 than it was in 2008, just like this national election will be this will be a close competitive election, and i think people are going to sew that as we move into the -- see that as we move into the fall campaign. >> what does the president have to do if he wants to win gin yeah. >> well, he is doing the organize -- virginia,. >> well he recollects is doing the organizational things he has over a dozen offices set up some have been operating for many months if not years he is going to spend a lot of money here he picked virginia as one of the two states to launch his re-election campaign. but the truth is, he is going to have to hope for better economic numbers if he is going

to carry virginia and the nation a lot of this veally out of his hands we never like to think of elections as being a product of luck and chance and circumstance but this may be one of them. >> all right how about mitt romney , what does he need to do, to broaden his appeal to virginia voters. >> he needs to consolidate first the republican vote in gin yeah you may remember -- virginia, you may remember there was an unhappy republican primary. only romney and ron paul were on the ballot and romney didn't even get 60% of the vote running against ron paul that tells you something but i have to say because the focus is on the incumbent because as usual it is a referendum on the incumbent president republicans have gathered around romney in virginia and nationally, much faster than democrats expected there has been a consolidation of the republican vote not because they like romney, but

because they dislike president obama. does -- if romney were to name bob mcdonald as his running mate would that help him in virginia? >> i've seen three surveys, all three public opinion polls from very different pollsters have shown the very same thing bob mcdonald adds nothing i mean nothing it surprised me i expected him to add what a vice presidential candidate normally adds to a presidential candidate usually you get about 2, 3% in the home state you don't get that nationally but you get a bump in the home state, not here. it may be because of what happened recently in the general assembly session that was a very controversial session and it took a big chunk out of governor mcdonald's popularity rating. >> all right very very interesting, we are going to keep our eyes very much focused on virginia.

do you think there is a difference between a house and a home? >> sure holly morris is finding out today at the national building museum where they recently opened a new exhibition she has the new scientific answer >> i don't know how scientific but in this quote, since a house wrecker differs from a home wrecker, the inference is clear that a house and home mean different things. i love that quote and love this exhibit and yes of course there is a difference between house and home not only is there a difference but the definition of both of those words have changed overtime as we have evolved as a country and all of that is explored here in this exhibit, susan is the cue ray

tore and joins me -- curator and joins me. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> thank you for letting us in so early it is a semi permanent exhibit. >> long term. >> why do something like this. >> we wanted to explore something, part of the environment that everyone finds familiar all these different types of houses, we wanted to really look at house, where you live kind of effect, how you live in that particular house. >> so let's start with house. >> yep. >> you have this wonderful wall all these types of houses if people come and look at this because i know reading about this you want people to talk, what do you hope they get from this wall. >> this is a wall we have 90 photos of different types of housing apartments, single family homes, slave housing, workers housing, all different regions of the country, we really want to get people talking about oh, this looks familiar, different from what i am used to in my neighbourhood

i keep this money stashed away is that a bad thing. >> no, you always want to make sure you have adequate cash reserves and all the financial planning books say you need 3 to 6 months of liquid reserves for rainy day however today bank interest rates are low due to the economy, and you take a look at the inflation forecast over the next several years which is kind of low, presents a great opportunity for people who may have a little too much money saved in the bank where can i put these dollars to get an adequate rate of return and you want the take a look at putting in some conservative type of bond funds they are yielding any where from 4 to 7%, gives people an opportunity now the get ahead of the inflation curve that will come down the road by getting some extra earnings on their savings account. >> what is the difference between individual bonds and bond funds. >> a bond mutual fund is made up of hundreds in some cases thousands of different bonds

where a bond manager is buying and selling versus the individual determining should i buy this bond. where as a bond fund you put your money in, instraintly it is diverse fied and allow professional money manager to make these decisions for you. >> would that be your bottom line advice what to do with this money? are there other ways today verse fie that savings. in today's market, i would recommend a mutual fund for what we are talking about this morning trying to get excess interest rates, or yields on their savings account dollars if you go look at an individual bond you have to look at the under writing of it yourself and then find the right entry and exhibit point the problem is as interest rates rise in the marketplace the principle value of bonds start to drop you can get a more stable type of an interest rate and principle stability if you look at a bond fund having a

manager, versus individual corporate >> can i hear people -- i hear you viewers can we lose this money larry? how can we afford to gamble this money. >> it is not really a gamble you don't want to gammen with your savings accounts -- gamble with your savings accounts the problem some people have too much money saved in accounts earning too little rates of return. now depending on the risk of the bonds that are made up in the bond fund some might have a little bit of principle fluctuation others might have a lot. most are very stable, just a little bit and then take a look at the 4 to 7% yield it should wash out in the end. >> what do we need to get in here bottom floor, test it for a year or so, if you really are skeptical how much money are we talking about to get started. >> that is one advantage of these types of bonds or bond funds most mutual fund companies allow you to start with $50 you can put $50 into

it or 50 dollars a month or several thousand or hundreds of thousands but the message here is that with inflation coming down the road we don't know when it will come down the road people are sitting there well, i am just going to keep my money in the bank account interest rates will go up, chairman bernanke says they will start to rise in 2014, that doesn't mean that the bank rates of return are going to go from basically point something up to 4, 5% right away that would create shock and awe they will slowly move up over several years giving people a great opportunity to get ahead. make your money work for you. >> absolutely. >> larry rosenthal thanks for stopping by. >> thanks allison. good advice thank you much. 8:21 a.m. on monday morning, just hours after the kentucky derby a body found at church hill downpolice believe foul play is involved, details up next on fox 5 plus, a tense day for football fans

important tool for the colonists this was a main tool with an axe you could shop down a tree, hue, make square timbers it has an offset blade that is so when you are cutting, you don't strike your hand, coming down across the grain. >> what is interesting to me, even though this is supposed to be making things easier, it still is were labor intensive. >> labor intensive but the fastest way to produce a piece of wood, was called writing that is where you would split a piece of wood i will demonstrate that here, and it is very much like making fire wood, but i can take a piece of wood using this instrument, a froe an axe with a handle turned at 90 degrees i can. >> i see that band aid on your finger i will stand back. >> yeah, stand back. what you do, is you take a

piece of wood in this case chestnut white oak which is renowned for its splitting qualities, drive the froe in hopefully and then. >> splits down the grain. >> with splitting action, one more time >> i know it is supposed to be the easiest way for back then but not convincing me peter. >> not right now >> i should be convincing you to come out and see this wonderful exhibit myfoxdc.com our website we have a link to the national building museum open 7 days a week come out and see this exhibit it will be here for 5 years we only made it to the 17th century and didn't even get through that. they have wonderful stories like if you really were something back in that time allison you had a window in your house with glass. that signified you were big time come learn those stories and more. we will have more in our 9:00 a.m.

insurance gigantic railroad, consumer companies as well fruit of the loom to chocolate, some are international some are not he just bought a company in the netherlands what does this mean about how europe is reacting we talked about that. today i will ask questions more along the lines of how he thinks you know, he and his vice chair, charlie monger took major swipes over the weekend with alan greenspan, about alan greenspan and dumped on business schools and made it sound they didn't feel like business schools were worth the money we will talk about that and their newest investments. >> we all want to know what does warren buffet invest in did you get a sense of that? what maybe we should invest in? >> well, breaking news, remember when the herd is running away from something that is when he goes toward it because it is cheaper he said this weekend he will be buying more news parents and i mean during the washington -- newspapers and i mean, during

the washington correspondents dinner, jimmy kimmel asked what is black, white and red all over, newspapers. he owns the buffalo news he said local newspapers have real value compared to earning versus price he will be buying those which i thought was so interesting, he also said what he wouldn't be buying, he said he would stay away from long term u.s. treasury i know a lot of your viewers might be in treasury because they are scared and think it is safe he says stay away. you asked about predictions for the economy will we finally see a major turn around and i see that he stayed away from that a little bit he didn't do well when he predicted what would happen this year. >> right. he predicted a year ago, with us on fox business, that the housing market would turn around by now. he said guess what i was wrong he is also the first person to always say he made a mistake so i said okay what is your newest housing market prediction and he said i am not dumb enough to

make the same mistake twice he later said within one to three years he was clear we will not see this economy turn around until we see household formation. okay so then the follow up question is what -- we are at 15 year lows for homeowner ship allison and it is just getting extremely difficult for people to plunk down the money when they don't have jobs almost like we are stuck in a swirling mail strom i will push him on that issue. what will turn things around. some will say less onerous, for businesses he has burlington northern railroad heavily regulated industry if they were less regulated or less onerously regulated would that make him spend more and hire more and then other businesses do that, we might see a turn around. >> 15 seconds left liz on a personal note you asked about his health too. >> of course. and he said i feel perfectly

fine he will not miss a single day of work due to his stage one prostate cancer diagnosis he completely was light hearted about it said he isn't changing a thing he ate about 3 pounds of peanut brittle. >> we are big fans thank you liz we are fans of yours as well thanks for the information talk to you later this morning at 9:30 a.m. tony. >> all right allison thank you much time now to say good morning to everyone, at any time day care in winchester virginia they are our facebook fans of the day they say they watch fox 5 every morning and they say, the news is better than sponge bob. well, let's not get crazy thank you for watching guys for a chance to be tomorrow's fan of the day head to facebook and post a comment under the photo for any time day care. quick reminder about tuesday may 15th, next tuesday, weather day with the washington
