west virginia, will the democrats lose in west virginia? that will be a pick up for republicans if that were to happen and we are also watching north carolina where senator kay haggan is fighting desperately. stand by. >> we could make our first projection at 7:30 p.m. eastern. we project the first republican pickup of the night and the democrat seat who used to be held by jay rockefeller, shelly moore capitto will defeat natalie tennant. that is a big win for the republicans in west virginia, and that now reduces the magic number for the republicans from that net six to net five to become the majority in the united states senate. we cannot make a projection in north carolina. between kay haggan and thom tillis. let's show you what has happened as a result of west virginia and kentucky. so far there will be 34 democrats in the united states senate, 34 republicans. still a lot of races outstanding. you need 51 to be the majority if you are a republican. you need 50 if you are a democrat because joe biden would break the 50-50 tie and with we

i realized they had to appease the state of virginia. was it bad strategy to put the confederate capital within 100 miles of washington d.c.? >> guest: well, i don't think so. as you know, it took the united states army longer to capture richmond then virtually any part of the confederacy so it turned out to be quite successful in terms of defending the confederate capital. early in the war of the confederates lost nashville. they lost to new orleans. they lost memphis. they lost a number of other places but it took four years for them to lose richmond. so maybe it wasn't such a bad strategic decision. in any case, it was i think an important political decision and that was the main reason for taking that decision in the first place. davis was well aware that one of the cardinal rules of military strategy is the principle of concentration. you should concentrate your forces and a substantial army that is capable of taking on enemy armies or two or three substantial armies. that would have seemed to dictate concentration of one army in vi

he was already scheduled down in virginia to be in court today but that changed when the virginia authorities agreed to cooperate with the federal authorities to say, in cooperation with the office of the u.s. attorney of pennsylvania, authorities agree to relinquish custody of barnes to the federal authority. this they told us is a coordinated tactical maneuver designed to will you federal prosecution of the crimes in pennsylvania, maryland to proceed prior to the case down in virginia. so likely, just a quick appearance here in federal court for barnes at sixth and market street. we are awaiting a long list of charges and likely setting a date for possible preliminary hearing. it looks like unless he already confessed and in hassle will eventual guilty plea, carlesha might to have relive her ordeal, in open court, and there was something, that may likely have to happen, if or unless barnes does something he didn't do, to her or the 16 year-old girl he is accused of kidnapping and that is finally show some compassion and wave his preliminary hearing and cop a quick guilty plea in either case
