let me go to kristy now. what do you think the dens should do at this point? >> the democrats?hink that kathleen sebelius and president obama should send the house republican has giant gift basket with a big shiny red bow on top for their performance this week. it's pretty clear that republicans seem to have a penchant for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and i would say this week was no exception. it's clear that there are some problems with the rollout of the health care law, particularly obviously with healthcare.gov. but the one thing americans were not inclined to do was shut down the government over the health care law, and right now they might have been inclined to support hearings to find out what were the actual problems. but they're not willing to do was see it become part of a witch hunt or monkey court. that's why we're seeing support for the law go up and support for republicans drop to a low. >> having said that, what do you think the democrats should do next? >> i think they should try to get exactly what they were doing, which they should try to get to

let's check in with kristy breslin, live at wjz traffic control. any residual effects, kristy? >> well, kai. we've having major effects. two separate accidents. the first on the beltway, blocking three right-hand lanes. then another one. a vehicle fire that happened about 30 minutes ago. northbound 95, it was closed. it is now reopened. the vehicle fire has only two left lanes getting by. but as you can see, the delay is just solid, back to at least moravia road. as far as other accidents go, maryland avenue at 21st street. franklin street at st. paul. and moving over to the beltway, the west side inner loop, just creeping along there from 295 to liberty road. and we're seeing some slowing as well, on the top side of the inner loop. watch for congestion there from jones falls expressway, past perring parkway. with an average speed of about 35 miles per hour. traveling northbound 295, stop and go there, 295 to 195. and you can see the shot of 95, just north of whitemarsh boulevard, things moving along pretty slowly because of the two separate accidents. this traffic report is br

an extra information but these talks have been shrouded this time around in a must say of degree kristie the negotiations taking place behind closed doors and that generalizations are extremely wary of any leaks coming through into the media before pen is put to paper and that deal is signed but we have heard from a chinese official that the talks all entering the final moments and certainly all the signs pointing to that we've had to progress on not sticking points that we've been talking about for the past two days of iran's insistence on the recognition of its right for your a medium enrichment apparently that's been overcome in the draft of the agreement we know that coming into these negotiations iran has already made a number of concessions according to reports they've already agreed to stop enriching uranium to five percent so what are they getting in exchange well we should be receiving limited relief from economic sanctions but take for months now this is a deal that has eluded diplomats for over a decade but certainly all the signs the security the foreign ministers flying in t

. >> hey, gina, do you think that governor kristi's position on gay marriage is indicative of a larger shift going on within the republican party right now? >> i think there are bizarre shifts happening all over the place and on both sides, actually. the republicans and the democrats are having all sorts of strange shifts because i think what has happened with the uprising, not just of the tea party movement but, also, of the occupy movement is you are sort of seeing the we, the people, react to the elite. the grassroots people out there living their lives have started to realize some of the ideas the elite have in washington, d.c. aren't really reflective or indicative of the things we elected these people who os sentencebly work for us do. and so i think it's kind of funny to watch it, a little bit amusing maybe when you look at the issues, perhaps, that the tea party espouses and the issues that, perhaps, the okccuy wall street focus espouse and that they have a lot more in common programs than they do with the upper echelon of their own party. >> can you define the difference for u

with sure if they have a gator's what this is is this not just another republican his steria point kristie of course it is look i think it's a given that when it comes to anything related to the health care law that republicans are going to be both manipulative of the facts and a little bit loose with the truth but in this i will say that there is one thing that democrats have been clear about from the get go which is that that's the limit different from just your standard insurance agents that certainly limit different from you know random felon off the street it's actually going to be implemented in large part not implemented but at the navigators are a large part. going to be organizations that are actually very well respected like the united way like planned parenthood which again i know is a bit of a bogeyman sometimes on the right but still enjoys something like an eighty percent approval rating in most parts of the america of america. could you really if you just met. if you would just have a minute left i want matt and chris to just. chris you know you're one of the great there's a
