mike. you can call this d day for lots of folks in the northern virginia area coming here to the mark center. 6400 employees will be filing into that building later this morning. so, if you're home right now, preparing for your morning commute, brace yourself for what many have predicted will be a traffic nightmare. the final federal employees move into the mark center today. we're talking a total of 6400 people commuting to the alexandria building on top of the estimated 200,000 people who travel on 395 in northern virginia every single work day. virginia lawmakers have long lobbied against this plan because of the traffic problems it could cause. here's what they had to say a short time ago when congress struck a deal with the army to provide 2,000 parking spaces here. >> the pentagon is responsible for building the infrastructure necessary to accommodate the 6,400 additional employees who will be moving into that building. >> i'll go pick him up in march when the building is at fill occupancy and drive him to the mark center during the rush hour traffic. >> well, that was senator warner's

santorum got the lion's share, not as much as mike huck abye d -- huckabee did four years ago. >> people prohibited a huge turnout and talk about frustration and also that could lead people to go to the polls, and we didn't see a giant jump up from 2008. >> no, we didn't. and when you see that large and undecided turnout right before an election, it tells you something. it tells you that they haven't found someone to love, and that's what happened in this election. it's like saying, hey, i want to go to the movies. i just don't know which movie i want to the see. it doesn't work that way. >> if this is the environment and the contest started, who is the win jer is it barack obama? >> i think it is president obama. look at what happened last night. i was on the phone with a friend of mine's dad who lives in iowa. republican voter. i don't like enough of these guys to show up at a caucus. we saw that. not a big turnout over 2008. less voters came out then than for president obama. after six, seven years of campaigning, millions of dollar, mitt romney got the same number of voters at last t
