6:26 am
she was a major target of the opposition and as a consequence they got her, they went after barbara boxer but weren't successful there. >> do you think she will leave congress? >> doubtful. she will continue to try to make differences in terms of policy and support the issues she supports. but i don't know what her intentions are, obviously. but newt gingrich when he lost he left and made a career writing books and speeches. >> so what's going to happen between now and january? i mean, the people in power still a have a couple of months. >> it's a lame duck congress. she will preside over a lame duck congress until the new people are inaugiated and signed. >> dogs that mean they get mignon. >> no, no one will do anything. figure out her next move. >> will they be able to work together? >> they have to. there are important issues like taxes. the bush tax cuts are not repealed, everyone's taxes go up and that will look bad for the republicans in 2011 with the election coming up. >> thank you for being here all
6:27 am
morning with us. cbs 5 political analyst james taylor. appreciate that. in our next half hour we'll be joined by former state assembly leader willie brown, which will be exciting and interesting, as well. >> 6:27. in minutes a roundup of the big winners from election night. plus the propositions that passed and failed. ,,,,,,,,

11th congressional district. democratic incumbent jerry mcnerney now leads for the first time by, get this, just 121 votes. republican challenger david harmer had been leading until just a very short time ago. the race for attorney general is also a dead heat. democrat kamala harris leads will be steve cooley by 7/10ths of a percent. let's look at some of the propositions that passed. voters approved prop l in san francisco, which bans people from sitting or lying down on the sidewalk during the day. america's v and w passed in -- measures v and w passed in san jose affecting pension an unions. prop 19 failed to legalize recreational marijuana. prop 23 failed which would have

6:34 am

6:35 am
departures and 7:30 a.m. and 9:45. bart is running longer trains. be aware, though, that park lots fill up quickly and if you are coming from the peninsula, caltrain, muni metro, also a good idea. stay off the roads, getting home is going to be another huge issue as well once the parade wraps up. that's your traffic. here's tracy with your forecast. hey, thanks, elizabeth. warm across the bay area. concord average daytime my november 71 degrees. 70 in santa rosa, 69 san jose, 67 in san francisco. here's a look at today's highs: 80 in concord, 82 in santa rosa, 83 in san jose, 75 degrees in san francisco. other high temperatures today:

6:37 am
leaved republican challenger carly fiorina. >> our victory tonight belongs to the people of california. democrats, republicans, yes, we got a bunch of republicans. we have a republican votes. i'm proud of that. independents. we got their votes, too. >> when fiorina spoke late last night she said the race was too close to call. she focused on republican wins in congress. >> we have had a fantastic sweep across the nation. many senate seats have already fallen and as you all well know, we have a new majority leader, john boehner. just a wonderful, wonderful night. yes, exactly. the message has been sent loud and clear! >> exit polling indicated fiorina fared best with older voters, while boxer did well among blacks and latinos. it is 6:37. certainly a big, big night for democrats in california. but across the country, it was
6:38 am
a big night for republicans, who took back control of the house. randall pinkston joins us with the big shake-up in washington. i understand the president is expected to speak at 10 a.m. our time. do you think he is going to address his agenda and this shake-up in congress? >> reporter: yes, good morning, sydnie and juliette. he certainly will be speaking at about 10 a.m. your time. and we're not quite sure whether he will address an agenda. we do believe he will talk about cooperation. he will congratulate the winners of course. and he may have some words to say about the accomplishments of the democrats, who were led in the house of representatives by speaker nancy pelosi. president obama has said in the past that she may go down as one of the greatest speakers of the house in history. certainly the record of legislation that she pushed the president's agenda is spectacular so much so that she
6:39 am
became the lightning rod of opposition in this election cycle. >> so what's next for house speaker and our bay area congresswoman nancy pelosi? what's the word in washington? >> reporter: we are waiting to see exactly what she decides to do. there is some speculation she may decide to follow the path of former house speaker newt gingrich, who was re-elected but after he lost his -- his party lost the majority, he elected to resign. we don't know if that will be speaker pelosi's decision. she of course has been reelected and may opt to remain in the house possibly as the minority leader, the loyal opposition, which she had been serving as for so many years until she was elected speaker. >> thank you very much, randall pinkston in washington, d.c. 6:39. and president obama put aside some time on election day to calling the san francisco giants. he invited them to the white house saying he can't wait to
6:40 am
meet them in bern. the giants who captured the world series title invited him to a home game. sydnie had a great idea, let him throw out the first pitch. >> the parade kicks off in a few hours. live pictures from chopper 5 in city hall lit up in orange and several hundred fans and moregatheringss there. we invite you to watch the parade on cbs 5 starting at 11 a.m. the president is speaking at 10:00. >> so we'll have all that coverage, as well. they have me right in the middle of the route. a lot of confetti surrounding it. >> you will look good with orange confetti. >> it's fun. 6:40. encouraging numbers on jobs this morning. we'll be back with you moneywatch report.

good morning. an accidents westbound 237 approaching zanker road on the commute towards silicon valley. chp hasn't even arrived on scene. this is milpitas in the westbound lanes of 237 as you leave 880. right now 7 minutes towards 101 so we're not sure if lanes are blocked yet. the commute through downtown san jose looks great. no problems on any of the major freeways in the south bay. live look at 280 traffic approaching the 880 interchange. all the approaches to the bay bridge okay. it is starting to get slow down the eastshore freeway through berkeley. about a 20, 21-minute drive time on westbound 80 from the carquinez bridge to the maze. the metering lights have been on at the bay bridge.
6:45 am
so that's what it looks like kind of slow and go from the metering lights all the way up the incline. at the bay bridge toll plaza, still not quite at full strength. only backed up to the 880 overcrossing. going to be a totally different story later on today. we have been talking about it all morning the giants victory parade kicks off at 11 a.m. it starts in the financial district by the transamerica building where there's already road closures in effect. washington street shut down right now between davis and montgomery. and then the parade continues south on montgomery, then heads west along market and ends up by civic center plaza where hundreds of thousands of people are expected to come. mass transit is obviously going to be a great option. there's going to be a lot of extra traffic heading into san francisco. bart is running longer trains as well as larkspur ferry offering extra service. at 7:30 a.m. and 9:45. two extra departures. all right. that's a cheng check. for your forecast for today's parade, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. forecast for today, whoo!

6:48 am
we did get some encouraging news from adp that tracks private employer numbers. we saw a gain of 43,000 new jobs in october 20,000 more than expected and they revise the september numbers from a loss of 39,000 to just a loss of 2,000. that does typically trend into the jobs report from the labor department so hopefully that will spur a little bit more job growth as we look towards friday's report lot unemployment rate is likely to -- although the unemployment rate is likely to stay at 9.6%. the big question with the federal reserve today how big of a round of quantitative easing will we see? feds looking to buy government debt to push borrowing cost down for consumers and companies. expectations from wall street up to $1 trillion although the "wall street journal" says it could come in much less. if that's the case, wall street could be disappointed. at the moment the market fairly flat as expected before a fed decision of that magnitude. dow up 6 points, nasdaq down by
