and nationwide, at least two key wince for the conservative tea party movement. again the top headline is a shake-up in the district. vincent gray rode a wave of discontent of victory in the democratic primary. with 90% of the precincts counted, gray grabs 53% of the vote. fenty got 45%. kristin fisher has more on the race that didn't end until four hours ago. kristin? >> i know. crazy. this race wasn't called until around 2:00 this morning and gray didn't even stand up to give his victory speech until a half hour later. so a very late night for everyone involved. for all of the campaign workers here at his headquarters to the candidate himself [cheering and applause] vince gray took the stage around 2:30 this morning at his primary night headquarters. the washington hotel. this victory virtually assures that gray will be the city's

next mayor. he face thousand republican challengers and fenty said he would not be a where in candidate. it felt like an election night victory party. gray said that dc voters sent a message loud and clear, that they wanted to bring character, integrity and leadership back to the mayor's office. clearly a jab at fenty but gray was quick to congratulate his opponent. take a listen. >> i want to con group late mayor fenty for running a hard, and spirited campaign [ mixed crowd reaction ] >> despite our differences, i know well that he shares our commitment to the city. >> so far, we are all still waiting for fenty to publicly concede. here he is.

looking at footage of him around 1:00 this morning talking to reporters. he was saying he wanted to wait until all the votes are in. we have 90% of the precincts reporting now at this moment. we know that a spokesman for fenty's campaign has indeed reached out and called vincent gray's campaign, but the two candidates themselves have not talked. a phone call between them is expected to take place at some point later this morning. andrea, after this very late night i'm going to guess it will be much later this morning before the two candidates do indeed talk over the phone. >> you were talking about how late this race wasn't even official until four hours ago. what were the problems that caused that with the election machines in certain precincts? how's that going to be resolved? >> it was really an issue with getting returns in. dc was testing out a new system, one of their electronic

methods of getting the votes in and that was causing significant delay. we within seeing long lines at the polls toward the end of the day. it was more of an issue of just getting the returns in. more technical glitches than anything else. and you know, there was prolonged battle between the two campaigns to keep the polls open a bit longer. so really it was all of those various issues that built on one another and that's why it took until 2:00 this morning to get those official results in and we are still waiting. 10% more precincts still need to work. -- need to report. back to you. >> as vince gray prepares to take over as mayor he will be replaced by brown. brown won nearly 55% of the vote. orange finished in second with 39%. phil mendle son is the winner in the race for the at

large city council seat. he won 63% of the vote and beat the other michael brown. brown won 27% of the vote. now we turn to the campaign in maryland. in prince georges county, the results aren't official but baker is declaring victory in the county executive race. with 70% of the votes counted, baker has 43%. sheriff jackson has 32%. as we said, baker is declaring him the winner. he did no in mitchellville. gary was there. this is gary noneberg in prince georges county where three times was the charm for baker who succeeded in his third attempt to secure the nomination, the democratic nomination for prince georges county executive leading by a comfortable margin. his closest opponent michael jackson. >> prince georges county is ready to be first in education [cheering and applause]

first in job creation [cheering and applause] first in opportunity [cheering and applause] first in invasion [cheering and applause] first in integrity [cheering and applause] and first in public safety. >> reporter: it was something like a rock show when baker finished his remarks. they wouldn't let him off the stage and at times it seemed as though he would be crowd surfing with this happy group of supporters who are pleased he has succeeded in getting the nomination for prince georges county executive ♪ [ music ] ♪ >> here's a look at the race for states attorney in prince georges county primary bay 3-1 margin despite

an endorse for his open murphy from former alaska governor and vice presidential candidate sarah palin. for the democrats it was an easy win for o'malley. he got 86% of the primary vote. his closest competitor was j.p.cusack. tv commentator christine o'donnell upset castle in the republican senate primary. o'donnell captured 53% of the vote and hopes to win the seat formerly held by vice president biden. >> i stood before most of you a little over a week ago and said we are not in this to come close. we are in this to win [cheering and applause] and we are in to win big. >> reporter: she will face christophers in november. another tea party upset in

jessica has some home financing 101. >> people are excited about mortgage rates. they are at record lows and you can save a lot of money if you want to do refinancing right now. say you have a $300,000 loan at 6%. you get a 4-point a% mortgage to refinance. you are going to save $270 a month on that alone. but there are some pitfalls to keep in mind. >> i know closing costs are something we have to consider. >> that's right. closing costs are the fees you pay right away when you sign your mortgage. you are going to take out your checkbook or you are going to wrap it in to the mortgage.

you are paying more to save money but we have numbers to consider. of course we have seen the mortgage meltdown, some changes in the financial system and as a result we have seen closing costs go up 36% since the end of last year. the average closing cost on a $200,000 mortgage right now is $3,700. but remember, you can negotiate on some of these costs and you should shop around because some costs are high every with different companies. another pitfall i want you to consider, make sure that you read the current mortgage paperwork to see if there are prepayment penalties as much as six month interest on the original amount. on a $200,000 mortgage this can be $6,200 that you have to either write a check for or wrap in to the mortgage. so you are losing a lot of ground with prepayment penalties. >> you are the financialista and you want to be our friend but you condition there with us all the time. where can we turn to get help. >> some places to start

zillow.dom is a good place to see if you can get the loan in the first place and assess the value of your home. check out the federal trade commission's website. they have useful comparison work sheets. keep the information in the right place and bankray.com has mortgage calculators and you can do comparison shopping to see how low the rates are that you can get with your credit score. >> good advice. a lot of information. so if you want to two back and revisit this go to the financialista.com. and go though the website and you will have the great information there. this wednesday morning here's what is in the news now, vincent gray says he wants to unite the district. he won the primary for mayor. gray captured 53% of the vote. round two of the middle east peace talks in israel. secretary of state hillary clinton arrived in tel aviv overnight. america's top middle east envoys a deal could happen in a

hernandez has double-digit wins. he faced the braves last night. eight shut outinnings. normally not a guy that strikes out a lot of people but he did last night with six of them and the nats bats were in working order as wilt. there's adam dunn and 35 on the year for him and the even bigger donkey, levo always a great hitting pitcher and he proved it there. nats blank the braves 6-0 zip. on o's and blue jays. robert clears the bases. they come around to score as the o's roll the jays 18-3. as for football, a big doubleheader on sunday on wusa 9 the ravens and bengals a 1:00 and the redskin and texans at 4:15. be forewarned, nfl rules dictate we cannot leave the ravens game until it is over

>> good morning. we are still waiting for mayor fenty to publicly concede. fenty's spokesman did call the campaign about four hours ago. so far the two candidates themselves have not talked but that is not stopped vince gray from celebrating around 2:30 this morning. vine gray told a room full of supports at the washington court hotel that he was the winner. he faces no republican challenger in the november election. in his victory speech, gray congratulated his opponent for run wag he called a hard and spirited campaign. he also took time to address fenty supporters assuring them that public school reforms would continue under his administration. he said, school reform will continue with the chancellor who works with parent an teacher thes. so what does it mean for the comfort controversial school

superintendent michelle rhee? take a listen. >> i don't think any decision has been made yet. he said ever since the beginning of the campaign that he would take the time to sit down and talk to her after the election. and certainly i they that's an appropriate conversation to have now. but he's also said from the beginning that school reform has to be about more than one person. >> reporter: now, we are still waiting for 10% of the returns to come in but still 90% have indeed come in and that is more than enough to call the race. here's how the different parts of district voted. wards one, two, three and six went for fenty. so that is dupont circle, georgetown, chinatown, captiol hill, northwest most linos dc and 4, 5, 7 and 8 for gray. that's fort totten, tacoma, brentwood an anacostia. the break down looks like fenty

took more central city where as gray took the surrounding areas. heavy concentration in southeast dc and that is more than enough for him to pull out a win. >> you talked about the vote was closer than the polls predicted. any chance that fenty could mount an independent challenge in the general election? >> you know, anything is possible at this point but fenty has gone on the record previously and said he would not be a write in candidate. so it is not too likely but of course, you know, it has been a crazy 24 hour. anything's possible but it certainly doesn't look that way at this point in time. >> kristin fisher reporting live in northwest outside of gray headquarters. one reason we didn't learn who won the race until early this morning is the new voting machines made things slower, not faster in the district. voters were camped out aft the board of elections.

the chief manager says 15 precincts could not be counted. some voters were nevertheless forgiving at one this morning. >> we in the district have gotten 40% of the vote count up to this point. i think it is ridiculous. >> all of this new technology you see where we are in the process. still a lot of votes to be counted. >> reporter: most of the precincts that posed problems were east of the anacostia river. frightening moments last night at the fenty campaign headquarters a volunteer fell through a plate glass window. you can see the young man amid the shattered glass. he was bleeding badly but got in to an ambulance under his own power. fenty supporters tried to block cameras by holding up signs. now to prince georges county, maryland, baker is declaring himself the winner the prey democratic primary for county executive but so far it
