>> it's alive and well in west virginia, particularly in southern west virginia. >> what type of tricksseen? >> well, i have seen money exchange harngsd i have seen liquor bottles being passed, flights passed out. it's been going on more than 50 years in our county. and our esteemed leaders, including our current governor, who was in the senate over 30 years and is currently governor, has not even spoken out against the crimes or condemned the crimes or congratulated the federal prosecutors on the recent charges -- >> the governor's not here to defend himself, but the secretary of state certainly is a democrat, certainly gone after this and the prosecutors, the federal prosecutor, both say that voter fraud will not be tolerated and this case shows that it will be prosecuted. are you heartened that there are the two guilty plea and it is clerk pled guilt tow lying about the alleged scheme. at least, you have two guilty pleas in federal court now? >> well, yes, we are hopeful about the two guilty pleas. but in the prior federal investigations, there has been many people involved. and only

virginia, particularly in northern virginia, which a lot more like maryland than it is like southern virginia. >> where do you think this ends up in presidential politics? the obama campaign, that employers' permission slip thing that they posted on the tumbler today is amazing. and it's not just that, they are getting more and more vocal on the issue of protecting women's rights, protecting access to contraception. mitt romney seems confused on this issue. this is rick santorum's reason for living, issues like this. where do you think this ends up in 2012 politics, either just inside the republican process, or for the general? >> i think the attitude for the white house is, if they really want to talk about this stuff, bring it on. let's talk about it. they have seen the polling. they understand where public opinion is on this issue. regardless of long-term framing, public opinion now is against the republicans. and as long as the conversation is about contraception and not about the economy, i think, you know, every day that that's the case is a pretty good day as far as the white house is

now just coming into the southern shenandoah valley, southern west virginia.t is advancing to the north as are the clouds. all these counties in lavender under a winter weather advisory until noon. these areas might get some accumulating snow. perhaps on some grassy areas. the closest county to washington is spotsylvania. sunrise at 6:34. here's the day planner for this monday. might get a few flurries by 9:00 around the metro area and perhaps after that off and on into early afternoon. by then, we'll be in the low 40s. some flurries may change to some sprinkles of rain. clearing during the latter part of the afternoon with a blustery wind. the snow totals from this system very light. mainly on grassy areas, just to the south of washington. maybe a dusting. perhaps an inch or two or so farther -- much farther to the south as the system quickly moves on through. then sunshine back tomorrow and into wednesday and thursday. warming up, near 50 tomorrow afternoon. near 60 wednesday afternoon. mid 60s thursday afternoon. could get rain friday, chilly but dry for th

but southern virginia, many locations in the upper 40s. and they're through central virginia, may reach upper 50s, as close as fredericksburg later this afternoon. going forward over the next 48 hours, we'll have some clouds coming in tonight and then maybe a few showers and thundershowers rolling through tomorrow. and then on thursday, we'll get the sunshine back. and we'll have some cooler weather moving in for thursday and into friday. for the rest of this tuesday, though, expect lots of sun, it will be cool this afternoon, reaching the low to mid 50s around the metro area. and farther to our south, it may hit upper 50s, northwest winds around 5 to 15 and overnight tonight, we'll have some of the clouds begin to close back in and it's going to be chilly. but not as cold as this morning. the clouds will act like a blanket, hold in some of the warmth from today, we'll be down to the mid 40s by midnight. and bottoming out by lower 30s, near 40. what a warmup for thursday, afternoon highs reaching the mid 70s and a possibility of a passing t

beginning to move our way closer view showing temperatures now hitting near 60 degrees through southern virginia and closer to washington right now temperatures are in the mid 50s around washington and in fairfax, arlington, montgomery, right near the bay. it is in the mid and upper 50s now, too. farther to our south beginning to climb to near 60, culpeper now up to 61. out of the mountains. in western maryland much of west virginia and in the 50s to low 60s there. as is the shenandoah valley. and for the afternoon, these are the expected high temperatures. that will make it into the mid 60s in washington, nearby suburbs. maybe a few spots west and north in the mid and upper 60s. farther south and west of us, perhaps near 70 degrees. then maybe around the 2:00, 3:00 this afternoon. manassas down to culpeper. and fredericksburg as well. and as we look at the view from space over the last 12 hours, there is one narrow band of high cloudiness coming through behind that we have a clear sky. for the rest of the afternoon, we will have plenty of sunshine. as we go forward over the next 48 hours, we wi

mitt romney won in southern virginia just against ron paul.t do well among those kind of culturally conservative voters, economically down scale. the kind of folks who cling to guns and religion as barack obama inartfully said in 2008. these are the kind of voters that mitt romney needs in november. he lost them tonight in the appalachian counties. this is reminiscent on the democratic side, a different context of course. but remember if you look at a red/blue map in the general election there was a long red strip that cut down from pennsylvania all the way into northern alabama and that was appalachia. barack obama could not connect them with those people. and mitt romney might have problems connecting with them. if you look ahead to some of the states in the south he'll have problems. but speaking specifically of the appalachian counties look ahead to west virginia, western pennsylvania, wolf for mitt romney as he moves forward in the race. >> western pennsylvania should be a good material for rick santorum since he's from western pennsylvan
