first, with all due respect, anthony brown was never an inspiring candidate. he's not the kind of guy who energized voters and got people to say i'm ready to go run with this guy. that was the first thing. the second thing is, the democratic party of maryland ran an abysmal get-out-the-vote effort. there is no reason for a sitting lieutenant governor to have this wide of a spread in defeat when you have the overwhelming majority of voters in the state of maryland. that is the fundamental function of a lack of geo tv, and this is a bit of a criticism for voters, you can't just show up some elections and not others. all right. that's what we had here. we have numerous voters, whether younger voters, minority voters. >> they didn't go. >> they just didn't show up, and that's always a failure. >> virginia, what's the answer there? mark warner has the slimmest margin of victory, but ed gillespie came on strong at the end and a lot of people are giving credit to the barbara comstock campaign. >> virginia is a little different. it's a much more competitive state than

anthony brown has 44.6% of the vote. hogan is winning so far in every jurisdiction except for montgomery, howard county, baltimore city and prince georges county. as i said, no strong reaction at this point. people are just sitting around drinking and eating and so forth. but brown has pitched himself really as a defender of the middle class, a fighter for working class families, but hogan has really capitalized on the kind of simering discontent among the voters over tax increases, over less than stellar economy, and over eight years of governor martin o'maly, some discontent with martin o'mally as well. we'll keep an eye on things and let you know what we find out here. let's send it back to you now. >> thank you so much, bruce. as we follow the results coming in on cnn as well, as of right now, 51% of the votes in the state of maryland has been counted, and in montgomery counties, not all have been counted. >> so a lot of democratic strongholds still need to be counted. >>> scott broom is live in anapulous. sounds lik
