previously, i think even in wisconsin, wisconsin contains the highest percentage of catholics in the midwest. and so it was a red totally state under a safe state for him. he addressed massachusetts and got a very catholic state in wisconsin, somewhat less so, but still significantly catholic population. he's talking to catholic saint don't hold my catholicism against me. well, he was not given the same siege to protestants until he gets to west virginia, where he plays on the patriotism of his state, which is a huge number of people in world war ii per capita in into korea, a very patriotic. they respected his service in world war ii and pt 109 and he says no one has my religion or my brother joe's religion when we went off to fight after pearl harbor and they respect that. and they also pay attention to something else he does during that primary win at joe kennedy's urging, daybreak and franklin d. roosevelt junior to campaign for jack kennedy. and franklin roosevelt senior, franklin roosevelt himself was very, very profitable in west virginia. they brought a lot of stuff and helps

we're live along wisconsin.ng out roads throughout the area live tonight as we monitor street conditions for you. >> chris, tell us -- explain to us what you're doing. you're not the camera person. you're concentrating on the driving, right? >> letçó me tell you something. this -- this is something that is the first time i've ever done it. we're trying to be very careful in doing it. it gives us a chance to show you realtime road conditions. so hopefully it gives us some insight. but what we saw during this -- just this little sweep were a lot of the problems. people jumping out or walking across wisconsin avenue not in a crosswalk. and people should be moving their cars off snow routes. that's important advice. obviously we're going to try to get our community through this evening together as we show you the situation. see a police officer on the left trying to get cars to move off the snow route. we've seen a lot of police officers out. they're trying to make sure that the main routes are cleared for the plows

they are wisconsin and west virginia. united states senator from minnesota the former crusading mayor of minneapolis. hubert humphrey really, not a very viable even though he will be the democratic nominee, he is registering a solid 2%. but when you are the only guy showing up against jack kennedy all the senate and the race is transferred to jack kennedy verses hubert humphrey much as 2,008, barack obama emerges as the anti-him every candidate then she emerges as the anti-obamacare today. in 1960 hubert humphrey is said candidate so then they coalesce around him. kennedy thinks he will win very easily in wisconsin he is surprised as bad polling data that causes him to campaign in the wrong parts of the state and hubert humphrey turns out to do surprisingly well in wisconsin which she was about to give up. he had no money. very minimal support organization to the great candid the machine or family and actually it was a good thing for jack kennedy that he does because west virginia is 97 percent protestant, jack kennedy in

he became very close to the kennedy family ended up running wisconsin for jfk in 1960 and then wisconsin after that and became very close to bobby kennedy and was on the kennedy family payroll from the early 60's to the day he died in 1991 it was on the payroll of the joseph s. dee dee eckert joseph p. kennedy foundation in chicago. he of course was supporting ted kennedy in the primaries over jimmy carter in 1980 and of course as we all know this is as senator kennedy lost and lost badly to jimmy carter and the family was furious with carter in 1980 because what he thought was a very vicious campaign against senator kennedy and corydon took it upon himself to exact meat revenge, so he secretive to the campaign briefing documents carter briefing books out of the carter white house and gave them to bill casey who by that time was running in the reagan campaign and as a matter of fact casey put paul corydon on the retainer to the campaign. here is a guy just worked for ted kennedy, the backroom of working in the communist party politics, the labor politics and had been arrested numerous ti

not too many people were on the road, just the bank on the corner of m and wisconsin.kay, let's go to doppler and i want to show you where it has stopped snowing and where it is still snowing a little bit. we are getting some pretty good returns to the east, still in howard county and parts of eastern montgomery county. this is heavy snow, we go up toward clarksville, brookville, passed alany, off of georgia avenue, route 97, and up 650, which is new hampshire avenue. that is very heavy snow. now we also have some pretty heavy snow down to the south and to the east. we'll go into parts of prince georges county. this is a pretty good band of snow "upper" marl borrow and shady side and deal. it's not quite as heavy as it was when we showed you the same view about 30 minutes ago. still heavy snow at the moderate snow. probably 3/4 of an inch per hour. that is no slouch right now. the back edge of the precipitation is steadily and slowly moving off to the north and to the east. a storm pulls away north and east, the bands are working its way around counterclock wise as the

i know that the weather is tough right now, but in wisconsin, we are used to this weather. [laughter] >> so we know how to do it. we know we have to eat this food, not just 20 weeks out of your, when farmers are in business. but remember, when farmers are in business, schools are out. so we need to make sure that we have access, our kids have access to food throughout the year. and to be able to do that, we're going to have to go inside greenhouses and inside vacant buildings. we're going to have to have a garden in every school. we're going to have to activate all those vacant -- as i, rather country, i see all these they can greenhouses at schools that are not being used. we're going to have to train our teachers to do hands-on education. because of this is our kids to learn. if they can touch it and feel it, then they are more apt to want to go the next step, dig into a book and really learn. the other thing that can happen around this food system that we need to create, local food system is create jobs. this food system will create thousands of jobs. i think one of the

yeah, we were going to be out on wisconsin avenue. that's where you guys positioned me earlier. yes, the camera man's camera froze and that's not something we typically deal with here even though it does get cold. nothing like today. we did drive around dc today and i can tell you from supposed to be going out on wisconsin avenue that the traffic is dying down. when i say traffic, you have to consider this was a city that was shut down today. i was surprised as we drove around earlier this afternoon, how many cars were out on the road. the main thoroughfairs were around. you couldn't see pavement, but you could drive on them if you were going extremely slow. i want to show you some of the pictures we took earlier today and people were walking on those thurofairs. this woman was carrying groceries. visibility is poor, so drivers cannot see pedestrians and pedestrians cannot see drivers. these are pictures from the road. visibility extremely poor. this is a familiar scene for many folks that tried to get out and about. this truck driver shoveling the snow from out of the truck tha

she grew up in wisconsin and she used to show us the pictures of their big snowstorms when they would build snow men higher than their rooftops. i expect we'll be able to do that. i am not holding a ski. this is part of a bumper. and there have been about 2300 accidents across virginia today and about -- no. 2300 incidents where police had to respond and about 1,000 accidents, traffic accidents. so i guess it's a good thing people have stayed home. otherwise there would be more than that. and it looks like we have about five inches of snow right here in the parking lot of the silver diner. it's very heavy and this little bit is heavy. out in about, there are very few people, except for those of us who have to work. this man is out tonight because he has to work the morning shift. >> i have to be in in the morning so i'm staying here. >> reporter: steve cox is expecting a long and difficult night ahead. he and another plow truckdriver are headed to a local subdivision whose homeowners association has paid them to plow snow. >> it's coming down pretty quick. not real heavy. just coming

take a look at wisconsin avenue as we are approaching chevy chase now. you are going to have a difficult time finding any people on the streets. there are very few. in bethesda, there are bars and restaurants open, but very few people in the area. we are coming up to a hotel here in chevy chase. i'll stop at the light. difficult driving conditions. you have to be courteous and make sure you give yourself time to stop at the light. these are realtime conditions. this is what's happening that we can bring you because of our portable microwave. >> chris gordon reporting. grocery stores weren't the only places packed with people this morning as everybody was trying to stock up for the storm ahead. fire wood yards saw an early rush. this in the college park area was sold out by late morning. you can imagine firewood is coming in handy right now. >>> this storm is expected to pack a punch up north. snow totals there could be anywhere along a foot or more along the jersey shore to several inches in new york city. some stores are closing later and opening earlie

. >> yeah, it was that way, particularly here on wisconsin avenue. i'm in the heart of bethesda. peggy talked about all the people trying to get out. today the day a lot of people tried to get out. there is snow removal going on, it creates huge problems on wisconsin avenue in bethesda, it was so bad, i saw ambulances going the wrong way into traffic to get around gridlock and some people to make the normal four or five minute run in from the beltway, it was taking 45 minutes. >> this is a tough situation. >> perhaps they thought, this would be the day to get to work for the first time in the wake of saturday's blizzard. >> i thought the roads were clear. >> they were wrong. >> driving conditions are horrific. why do we have that sheet of ice and slush in the middle of the street? and people can't drive and they drive too fast. >> the lanes are closed and you got two lanes into one lane. >> on a normal commuting day, walking where i'm walking right now would be suicide. this is the right travel lane of rockville pike. the problem s the right lane has not been cleared, which reduc

and the fact is, they are looking for candidates in wisconsin. i think russ feingold better be careful. patty murray in washington state ought to be careful. that said, there are speed bumps here, too. i think the open seat in missouri is a real problem for republicans, because they nominated somebody who is not very anti-washington in roy blunt. and then they've got this louisiana deal. i don't think, you know, the fact is, let's see what happens when david vitter has to deal with a campaign for the very first time, defending his moral values. >> and lastly, chris, we ought to mention new hampshire, too, that's an open seat, the judd gregg seat. that's a pretty big field on the gop side. the democrats already house member paul hose, that's trending toward democrats in recent years. >> you know what's great about politics? inevitably, even in a tsunami year, somebody wins going the other direction whether it's owens and biden back in '72, but also, the unbeatable guy, the unbeatable woman who can't imagine ever losing an election 90also goes down
