north. in virginia, grant would meet lee at the wilderness and begin a march that would culminate in a massive siege at petersburg, virginia. in 1864 was the last full year of the war. the army of northern virginia had had any victories under its belt. fredericksburg and chancellorsville were the biggest. meanwhile, the war machine of the north seemed to be stronger every day. when the army of the potomac at lee's army combined in the wilderness beginning on may 5, only a few miles west of lee's great victory, the first time the would face ulysses s. grant. while the name of the battle would go down in history as the wilderness, it was really the beginning of one along battle that would last a result and lee's surrender in 1865. lee's army was imports of live. the battle would continue to exact a great toll on virginia, a state stripped of many of its resources because of three years of war. if the confederacy had any hope, a civil war historian affirms and this use of scarcity, lee was unquestionably the south's prime assets. the union hung his hopes on this leadership. the president's main o

the cost of the war to the north and virginia is causing a swelling of peace sentiment in the north, and it looks like lincoln is going to be defeated for reelection, at least a democrat on a peace platform will win the presidency. >> host: i do believe lincoln snow. i think it was a time he thought, he thought he was going to lose. >> guest: absolutely. no question about it. apps adobe. here's an example of how the confederacy could have called unquote one the war nearly by holding out by not losing. so what i don't think davis necessarily saw this as a high point in the same way that the actual victories back in 1861, 1862 and 1863 have been high points, nevertheless the outlook appeared promising. because it looked like the north was going to throw in the towel. but then, of course, came the fall of a plan to come and that i think was probably the greatest blow to davis. and he blamed joe johnston for that, and i think he probably was right about johnston's failure to carry out a more effective defense. and then, of course, davis removes him from command and that's the low point.

depends what's in virginia and north carolina. it will be a buffet, if the republicans wake up and know they have a nine seat lead for three seat lead in the senate. it will turn into a bigger fight. if you have a small margin, it will blame the democrats. if you have a huge margin, you have to come up with your own policies. >> remember the run-off in louisiana, where you had to republican candidates, indications are they'll take it in the run-off. >> yes, there's not much of a chance that an incumbent will win a run off. she's not going to gain six points by december. it's looking like a good night for the republicans. >> in the house of the representatives, a substantially increased major city. >> it can be anywhere from nine to 15. this has 2016 implications. the larger the margin the republicans get, the larger the margin in the house, the less likely that if a president wins a presidency, they will not retake both houses in one fell swoop. >> thousands of people are expected to demonstrate in mexico over the disappearance of

that's where we have the densest fog in parts of north central virginia.ies are gradually improving a little bit. in washington, visibility a half a mile. at the bus stop, watch out for students in the fog between 7:00 and 8:00. between 8:00 and 9:00, the fog should be breaking up. temperatures near 60. for the afternoon, should be a beautiful autumn day. sunny. kind of breezy. winds gusting to 15, 20 miles per hour. upper 50s and low 60s between now and early afternoon. then it gets cold. afternoon high this time of year, 59. we'll be a little bit above that today. then a lot below that on thursday, friday, and each day all the way into the first part of next week. highs only in the 40s. morning lows will be upper 30s tomorrow. upper 40s tomorrow afternoon. might get a light rain shower on thursday afternoon and evening. sun back friday and saturday. cold mornings. afternoon highs in the 40s. rain may move in sunday night, into monday. then tuesday, cold again. highs only 40 with sunshine back. melissa here now with a look at our foggy traffic. >> very fo

we are dealing with lingering moisture in the north carolina a, virginia region. we have had light snow still falling across northern suburbs here but here's the brunt, a whole state of maine is still encompassed by heavy snow a at this point but the the storm itself and brunt of it is pulling away. i mentioned those lingering concerns we will talk about those too. there may be some slushy roads, we will talk about snow amounts months forward in the show but where we have heavier snow there may be slush that is still out there and because temperatures are marginal and freezing we could see untreated surfaces freeze over, that includes your driveway, that includes the roads and sidewalks. so there might be patchy black ice, out here, but just use caution. thirty-seven is current temperature at the airport right now. i had in problem driving in myself this morning with any kind of icing but if you go further north, even in allentown 34 degrees, that is cold enough that the surface may have just sort of slicked over. twenty-seven in mount pocono. that makes sense tha

woodruff: other key races have yet to be called in such closely watched states at iowa, north carolina and virginia. we are watching them all. in the house of representatives, republicans are on track to add to their majority and in the 36 governor races neither party hats made any net gains yet but there are some big winners to report. >> ifill: in wisconsin republican scott walker held off democratic challenger to win re-election. he's a potential 2016 presidential candidate. >> woodruff: in florida republican rick scott turns back a former republican governor turned democrat charlie crist. >> ifill: republican governor tom core bet lost to democrat tom wolf. >> woodruff: former congressman asa hutch in ton claimed open governorship. if the republican victories, mitch mccontinental is poised to be the next majority leader of the senate he spoke earlier this evening to his supporters in lex can ton. >> when you get right down to it that's what this campaign was really all about. it wasn't about me or my opponent. it was about a government that people no longer trust to carry out its most basic dut

take a look at the accumulating snowfall, not in our area, but into the mountains of west virginia, north carolina, some locations could see upwards of six or more inches. for us we're seeing temperatures tomorrow falling, showers around saturday night, wind, there could be a wet snowflake on the tail end of this system toward the poconos or northern sections of new jersey, but most of the moisture will be well out to see. sunday, the storm pulse away, but look at those gusty winds, 30 to 40 miles per hour and of course it's been pretty damp and dreary on this halloween night. the clouds around, the showers arriving. bottom. 47 degrees for the city. for tomorrow, wet, windy, chilly, 50-degrees, that should do it, temperatures will be falling really throughout the day. it's going to be pretty nasty. at the temple game have the upon chow ready, it's going to be chilly, bundle up. we're looking at temperatures in the upper 40s, but feels like temperatures in the 30 #-s. don't forget to fallback this weekend. it's going to be a cold start, low 30s, monday n even in philadelphia, 57 for the hi

still some of that down in towards southeastern virginia, eastern north carolina. so we're going to watch that. the stuff headed toward us, that's what we're tracking out toward the west virginia and pennsylvania and shenandoah valley. this goes back an hour. look how this area is really expanded to our south and west in the last hour. now getting even close toward hagerstown and martinsburg there, frederick can be seeing the stuff in the the next one hour, 90 minutes or so. this stuff, very heavy rains coming up here. really not seeing much in the way of lightning yet. although it wouldn't surprise me if we get that. let's see some of the activity generally east of 81 approaching skyline drive, front royal, east of strasburg and almost into fauquier county now and berryville as well. this is all moving east, northeast at 20, 25 miles an hour. so leesburg, closer to 1:30 we may be seeing that. even germantown about 2:30 in montgomery county and laytonsville 2:54. this other batch of rain between sperryville now west of culpeper, this is moving off toward the east, n

white voters are simply much more conservative than they are in a place like virginia or north carolina, and increasingly in a place like georgia. it is even harder for democrats to go and get that coalition that you would get in a state like virginia. >> i would say states do move. 1980, delaware was a swing state. i do not think we consider it a swing state anymore. sometimes there can be a dramatic change over four years. west virginia changed quickly. alaska, louisiana, arkansas have done it quickly, but were slow to realign. there is a tendency for analysts to try to be ahead of every curve and point at georgia or texas to have realigned. david purdue would be six points ahead if he had run a bad campaign and screwed up on outsourcing. texas could realign, but not in the next six years. population trends are slow. people moving from state to state, it takes a while. those states will come, but not now. >> since we're talking about the future, i wanted to ask you guys about 2016 -- you mentioned earlier the way the senate has been run, leaving a lot of these folks with not much of a

there is some steadier rain farther to the south and west, check it out, you get toward north carolina, southern virginia, pockets of heavier rain will come through our region through the overnight hours. keep that in mind if you are traveling. good news, pretty fast moving system, so by the ends of the morning commute we should be looking at drier conditions across the region. so overnight periods of rain, start across the region some of it heavy at times, overall rainfall amounts could get over half inch some spots. watch out for slow travel. how monday shaping up, showers around early morning, looks like after 7:00 the steady rain comes to ends, still slowing things down for could the youth. turns windy, temperatures low 70s, record for philadelphia tomorrow is 71 degrees, setback in 1979. so that could be broken. here we are right now, somewhat on the milder side. forty's, still some 50's this hour, with the clouds across the region. now tomorrow morning temperatures generally kind of holding steady around 40 degrees. look at the highs tomorrow afternoon, low 70s, upper 60s at the shore, low 60s in t

but notice this, north carolina, west virginia, maryland, you'll all be dealing with some problems on the roadways. as snow will be falling on thanksgiving eve and thanksgiving day. hope you have a good day wherever you are. here's your extended outlook. >>> once again, japan's supreme court justices have been taking a closer look at last year's diet election. they've ruled a disparity in the value of one vote was in a state of unconstitutionality. the upper house election was held in july 2013. tokyo had the highest number of eligible voters. more than 10.5 million. they were casting ballots for five diet seats. that's a little more than 2 million potential votes per lawmaker. totory prefecture had fewer than half a million voters. they were casting ballots for a single diet seat. that means an individual vote in tottori was worth nearly 4.5 times a ballot in tokyo. the largest disparity was between tottori and hokkaido. it was 4.77 times. two groups' lawyers filed a suit demanding the courts throw out the results of the election. they say it was unconstitutional because it violates

georgia, north carolina, virginia, west virginia, and new hampshire. if the republicans only win one of those and they're pretty well assured to win west virginia, then they can still take control of the senate but it's going to be a long night. if republicans win three or four of those five, it's going to be a great night for the gop. >> okay. now, i know you know georgia very well and that's one of the races which is held by a republican now who is retiring saxby chambliss, so you have david purdue the republican businessman running against michelle nunn the daughter of sam nunn the former democratic senator there. you know that state well. how do you see that going? because democrats have been pounding david purdue about his comments about outsourcing jobs? >> it's a very close race right now. michelle nunn was ahead a couple of weeks ago but it's part of republican candidates starting to do better. david purdue has started to pull ahead. the critical question is whether either candidate get over the 50% mark. if not, they go into a runoff that does
