potential for big soaking rains. watch futurecast, here is thet,i system and watch it to the north and to the east overnight tonight. here we are tonight at 7:00, maybe a few showers around latee tomorrow and during the day on friday. there we go by friday.iday. futurecast indicating that wengt will get a good widespread raina by friday afternoon.by we wilfrl keep that in the forecast now.tno another beautiful afternoon, afe wind at 5-10. point we will see clouds move cs in, but we should still bebe comfortable with temperaturesbl overnight ine the upper 50s ane lowr 60s. mostly cloudy, a late shower, s, the best chance of rain will bee friday into the day on saturdaya we coul talking about heavy rain times on friday. saturday looks better with moree shine, temperatures in the lowiw 80s, that's the weather, let's do some traffic and find out out what is happening with julie. >> reporter: a lot the roads rs right now tucker. we're busy cleaning up accident activity, unfortunately a new wreck has popped new virginia as we travel up the 14th street

bridge. not only do we find delays dela between the beltway and king street, but now to the pentagonn crossing to the potomac. southbound 270 tied up before and after 109. delays heading 124, and to the e rockville out to the split. spl. remains slow from 95 travelingtg toward georgia avenue with lane open. no issues to report now, no southbound on i-95, earlier earl crash before i-195, now cleared to the should we are a big backup, and clearing that wreck from the har op bore tunnel. -- harbor tunnel. better bet sticking with the i-95. thanks so much julie. julie. we're discussing what we'ree going to talk.g we will get to that in a just aa moment. here is new jersey governor chris christie says he wants awa special election held in octobeo to replace the late senator lautenberg. he will appoint an interim

senator to serve until the election. for all of those headlines and d sports we turn to our team of experts, strategists. >> what do you want to talklk about.out. >> the nats victory. vi >> were you there.u ther >> i wish. >> it was a beautiful evening bu for the ball game. >> here is the real business, up in new jersey, chris christie ce has business to take care of with the sad passing of senatoro lautenberg, what is at stake for both parties and how will thists likely payplay out. >> chris christie is going to dt what he is going to do. to do he is one tough cookie. he has made everyone kind of mad with this one of the first of of all, he has made the republicans mad, because what they wanted wt him someone to fill the rest off the term a year from november. e that way that they would have a republican senator in there and politically a wise move, except

that it would be challenged incl the court. he did not want to go through that. then the democrats are kind of mad, because they figured, theyu ought to have this election, inn november at the same time he iss up for re-election. that is he didn't want to do that. this is going to cost $20 million to have a special election. chris christie is chris christie, and you who know houss this is going to play. ay. >> i think jim is right, the the republicans would have loved too have a republican senator inrepl there for the next 18 months.mot the ramifications are serious, because it comes into the elections coming at 2014 thethe control of the senate is in thee balance. if you have a republican senatou who has been there for 18 for months, the chances are he mighh do a good job and ignore the partisan label, and think that the person is doing a good job for the state of new jersey.

on the other hand, democrats deo aren't happy, because not only does are this have a an early ey primary, but there's a primary.. there's two members of congressg that are thinking of running ofu against the mayor of newark whok looked like the slam dunk as the nominee, now that is not the case because both of these members of congress can run this year. if they lose, they don't have to give up the house seat. it's a free shot. sh it could be a primary, a republican could become the senator, so if -- it's a real mess. it's kind of a train wreck quite frankly. but you know, i think some of the shots that people are taking at christie one way or the other. he is controversial, and that is going to happen. ha >> the odds are that corey corey booker could win that primary. jim is right, it could be decisive. but special election is tricky. there's one in massachusetts right nark now, and i think thet

going to take that. this thing is still close. cl >> anything can happen, can hap especially a three way primary. who knows what is going to ing t happen. it remains to be seen. seen it's new jersey. >> everything, a little bit oflo everything. >> but maybe it's more like the italian sausage. saus >> all in all, you make the sauce. >> it amazes me how much has too go into a decision like this,th, the strategy, the thought process. >> you know. know >> and the law.law. >> and the law. >> and his intentions are that t the voters ought to choose, youy can't argue with that part of it. >> let's move on to the irs, ir, what is more damaging, theseg, e videos or the lavish spending that has come out or the targeting of these groupsthe gru waiting them to see what iso se going on with the tax exempt exm status. what is going on with the irs is and how damaging is this in. >> they're both damaging thisg s different ways, you know. way the targeting of opponents of

the president, you know, feeds, into the fear of government, yo, know is government becoming too big? is government getting to thege point where they're kind of big brother? it plays into the justice department's being snooping on reporters. that is a horrible thing.thing. that ought to send a chill to every viewer in america, every e viewer on this show, and every viewer in america that the irsis is starting to do what they're r doing. the lavish spending just makes t it even worse. forget about the -- the dollardr amount is ridiculous, but let'ss step back a minute. i think what we have to look att is this not their money. this is your money, peter's pete money and my money, and they'reh spending it as if it's their own money. they're public servants, they'rh supposed to be doing some publil good. they're not. the fact this they're wasting all of this money is just ridiculous in and of itself. it >> you know, on the money side,,

you know, we have been seeingseg this for a long time. ti this isn't democratic. this isn't republican. gsa spent money on these conferences. >> sure. >> the irs and some of the stuff is just mind-boggling, the $49 million for these things. i understand why they have to have conferences. i understand that there's a need to have team building, but thisu is clearly excessive, especialla in a time when you are trying to tighten up.tin every time you make a decision e like this when you're in government, you ought to say too yourself, how does this look iff it's front pages of papers.pape to me it's sophomoric. i don't get it. it. how damaging will it run, run, hopefully it will lead to reform. that is what you want. on the other side of this, the, hearings sort of surprised mesue yesterday, really; because onbeo the one hand, targeting groups a because of their political po affiliation is wrong.s wro clearly they had targeted 244

democratic groups, too.tic gr but you got an i investigative n climate out there. th darrell isa is going tooing investigate until the cows comee home. they were running campaign. sometime groups were running ads against candidates. candidate now that, is wrong, that is nott social welfare.socia that is not what these groups gr should do but the way theythey targeted it was the wrong way. . >> i agree with you.you. >> and what congress should do d is say, look, this is not what this is for. fo we're not trying to create tax x exempt political group wherewher your donors are secret. what we're trying to do is is promote the social welfare, thee general welfare, and so youyou know, to me, i think that -- i'm glad we're getting into this and hopefully fixing it.ix i don't think it's going to be a big -- too much, i really don't. >> you know, it depends on howhw it's hand. it really remains to be seen, s,

peter. there's still a lot of questions that haven't been answered. an when they get to the bottom ofbf it, then you make thethe determination whether this is a big political issue. >> gentlemen, our time is up. >> we can go on for hours. >> we will keep talking and seee you on the other side of the break.
