philadelphia developed technologies to pump water from the river into the city. these technologies established engineering concepts that are still the basis for our water systems today. europeans flocked here. it was a destination point to see the new world technology. when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new y

philadelphia is important to us, too. barack obama carried philadelphia by 475,000 votes. four years ago. that was a crusher. there is no question about that. i do not think we will lose it by that many. i'd think it sets us up for a major wind. -- win. remember what the inquirer poll said. barack obama has never gotten more than 49% in any of these polls. whether it is head to head or job approval. he has not been able to get over 49%. i think that is what -- you have to get over 49% to be elected president of the united states. host: give me what county that will be a bellwether on election night. guest: i believe one thing the chairman said. i think chester county is an important county to look at. there is no evidence to suggest mitt romney and brought the obama are going to come out of the four caller counties even. when you look at what happened in montgomery county four years ago, barack obama came out of chester county up about 20,000 votes. you will certainly see some tightening this time, but you will see the president come out of the five county area will for at

so tata's what happens in philadelphia -- that's what happens in philadelphia. one story calls it the miracle in the philadelphia because no one was even sure if this thing was going to get out of philadelphia to begin with. there were so many ideas floating around in philadelphia that it appeared that the constitution was going to die before the middle of the summer of 1787. and the story that you often hear about that constitution is simple. it's the large states against the small states. the people i just listed -- dickenson, sherman and rutledge -- all came from small states. madison, of course, was from a very large state. but that's not the real issue. the real issue was what type of government were we going to have? was it going to be a national government or a federal government? and so today we have this term we have a federal government. well, and the founding generation they didn't call it that. they didn't call it that coming out of philadelphia. the people like dickenson and sherman and rutledge said we don't want a national government, we want a fe

philadelphia is important to us, too. barack obama carried philadelphia by 470 cows -- 475,000 votes. i do not think we will lose it by that many. remember what the inquire poehl said. -- poll said. barack obama has never gotten more than 49% in any of these polls. i think that is what -- you have to get over 49% to be elected president of the united states. host: give me what county that will be a bellwether on election night. guest: i believe one thing the chairman said. i think chester county is an important county to look at. montgomery county is the most important county to look at. there is no evidence to suggest mitt romney and brought the obama are going to come out of the four caller counties even. when you look at what happened in montgomery county four years ago, barack obama came out of chester county up about 20,000 votes. you will certainly see some tightening this time, but you will see the president come out of the five county area will for at least a 600,000 vote martin, which will help carry him through

the immense size of the storm, i don't want to focus just on the jersey and philadelphia. the size of the storm is incredible. this is when it was starting its life cycle down in jamaica when it killed all those poor people in haiti with the flash flooding. they're so prone to that. the immense side continued to grow. the cloud shield over the weekend was all the way up into new england while the storm was still over florida. i guess we'll find out in about 24 hours how much damage it does. let me give you a quick briefing on your forecast for the west. we've had rain on and off throughout the last 24 hours coming from the northwest, especially washington state. it looks like that system is on its way out. idaho and the northern rockies are dealing with most of the wet weather. showery-type weather from portland to seattle to olympia. looks like the cascades and the lick picks will get the most as far as the wet weather is concerned. no problems in california, nice ific maritime air mass which means it's a warmer air. if that air comes from the north this time of year it g
