. >> pelley: we went to a mall in manassas, virginia, where, after three hours, they vaccinated 550 people, ran out of vaccine, and turned 350 away. last summer, the government said there'd be 120 million doses of vaccine by fall. weeks later, it revised that to 40 million. now, just over 17 million have shipped, 14% of the first estimate. experts agree the government decoded the virus to prepare a vaccine in record time, a real achievement. but then, the project hit snags. the vaccine took longer than expected to produce, and there were shortages of supplies like the sprayer for the flumist version. this is what the country is waiting for. these are the first pictures of h1n1 vaccine being produced in a sprawling, $250 million facility in swiftwater, pennsylvania. like other vaccines, the h1n1 virus is grown in chicken eggs in an updated version of a process that's been around since world war ii. >> sam lee: viruses are unique in that they require a living host to propagate. and the egg provides, essentially, a small self- contained, sterile factory for the production of the vaccine. >> p

last year, virginia, you helped lead a movement... of americans who believed that their voices could make a difference. that's what we need to do in this race. that's what creigh deeds is committed to. i need every one of you to get fired up once again so that we can go towards the future with creigh deeds leading the great commonwealth of virginia! >> now, a few minutes with andy rooney. >> rooney: i fly maybe 25 or 30 times a year. none of the airlines have asked for my advice but i'm going to give them some anyway. the good thing the airlines have going for them is we all like to go somewhere. our motto is "anywhere but here." i don't complain about airlines. i would, but everyone else does and i hate to be part of the crowd. but getting somewhere ought to be fun and, too often, it's unpleasant. >> i've been waiting here for hours. >> rooney: a number of years ago, there was a story about someone in a plane trying to light a bomb he was hiding in his shoe, and ever since that day, every passenger going on a plane to anywhere has to

i'm reverend benson from arlington, virginia. i'm a minister member of the national council of presbytery here in washington, d.c. as we move forward in this effort to talk about advocacy to right the wrong and the inickities that we see, i would like to ask all of us that are assembled here and members of congress that we be cautioned that as we move forward to promote the efforts for advocacy for our people and for other people of color that we do so on a position that supports our president and his administration as opposed to being on the opposite end. drawing on the words from reverend jackson earlier that this is a time when we turn to each other and not against each other. because i feel that sometimes it can be a move to discredit this great man at his great time. and we need to try and support him as we advocate for the different issues that have been placed before us. thank you. >> do we have a question? right up here. >> thank you. carmen morris, miami, florida, sanctuary of moses, combating child trafficking and slave

i really think virginia was voting for change. i think virginia made a huge mistake, because it's going to be women are chattel. they're still fighting the civil war in virginia and making progress. virginia is one of the best managed states in the united states. because they had 12 years of democratic governors. they had tim cain, a phenomenal governor. and they had -- who's leaving now, mark warner. they had mark warner. so their finances in virginia are really, really solid. the thing that was on the ballot was the transportation issue. there's a lot of traffic in northern virginia mostly. and so they were very upset about transportation. this guy bob mcdonald that won, bob mcdonald, i mean, bob mcdonald liked when you and me were chattel. he liked when we couldn't own things and couldn't vote. that's what bob mcdonnell was. >> those were the days. >> you know, but he ran as a moderate. that's the thing that nobody wants to talk about. bob mcdonnell decided to put all the social issues aside and run with bob loves jobs. or bob

all voters in virginia just disappeared. what happens was some felt motivated to vote and too many people on our side didn't feel motivated to vote and that's why there was such a sharp drop in democratic votes in both states. we have to motivate our base. >> it was interesting the exit polls in virginia and new jersey all of them said they still like president obama, their vote had nothing to do with him. do you agree with that? >> well, look, people elected obama, they elected me, they elected the democrats and put us in charge of the government because they want change. and they need to see more of it. we need to deliver. we need to make sure that the people who voted for us with expectations in minds have those expectations satisfied, that simple. >> uh-huh. >> lessons for the republicans, too. you didn't talk about the election in new york. >> i'm about to ask you about that one because that was one for the team. >> well, listen, i think we're witnessed the intend grags of a major american political party something that

jayson blair is from just thank you road near snerntville, virginia. he attended the university of maryland. on march 11, 2003, it was disclosed that he had "committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud." the widespread fabrication and plagiarism represented profound betrayal of trust and a low point in the 152-year history of the newspaper. the times went on -- "the reporter misled readers and times colleagues with dispatch that is purpose -- purported to be from maryland, texas and other states, when often he was far away from new york. he lifted news articles from wire services. he gave the impression he had been elsewhere when he had not. the times reporters found that -- of 73 stories blair had written, 26 has substantial problems. like journalists elsewhere, the times took this very hard. the paper's postmortem ran 7,000 words. it was published on a sunday and it started on page one. by comparison, a year later when the paper finally recognized that its prewar coverage of weapons of mass destruction was badly flawed, the acknowledgement ran 1,10

he said the president is always welcome at the commonwealth of virginia. there has to be a personal grace note that the republican caucus has lost. he is the president. he is a figure that has -- demands our respect and he is well-liked and we need to do a better job as a party to separate -- and separate the differences of opinion about policy compared to how we speak to hiabout him as a person. there are people in our caucus who do not -- are not able to bridge that note. >> we spent time thinking about this but we will try to be concise. i would say to the republican caucus that i know lee atwater said when your opponent is busy destroying himself, do not interfere. do not think that your opponents failures and weaknesses are your success. if everyone took a step back in line you somehow step forward. believing that is a prescription for permanent minority status. people want a society that works. people want solutions and leaders to a better -- and lead us to a better place. i would say to republicans, it is jobs and economic growth, it is all that. yo

six of our seven children graduated from the same public high school in mc lean, virginia and two were actually classmates. we married similar women, had big weddings, our approach to politics and economics was also the same and we enjoyed quoting politics. friend and foe alike, from his contemporaries when he was a 27-year-old law clerk at the supreme court to port more temperature eulogists described bill rehnquist as a conservative. that was a mayor description. my book tells how conservativism went far deeper in his life than politics. conservativism was the central part of the prism through which bill rehnquist viewed life itself. he respected tradition and order, intellectual and social, as well as political and economic. he believed, and this is the essential concept i think, that the proven and established should not be rejected until there is a substantial reason to believe that the newer is superior. while my book is not about public policy, it is necessary to explain the role of conservativism played in his life. let me deal with a few personality quirks that i believe tend

from virginia's 11th district. my question, and i regret that jackie is in here. it's an honor to be with ralph nader with all of you. why can't we get everybody to play well together and take the ideas in rauf meter's books? there are eight fundamental reform act principles. why can't we get the green libertarians and independence to basically demand of obama as the price of anything in 2010 that he past electoral reform act of 2009? >> i assume everyone heard -- >> well, i have no problem with that. i think it's a wonderful idea. we need to open up -- we need new choices and voices and actually third-party independent candidates do just what cato and heritage is trying to do. they are trying to increase the range of political debate. >> good to meet you in person, mr. steele. thank you for coming. i would like to say it's really -- minor parties and third parties and independent obviously don't have the same platform. so they can get together and should get together on removing the systemic barriers to entry but after that they will compete for the votes of the

i had won a ringing the other night about the virginia race. i don't know why, i don't live in virginia, but there was and i didn't answer it. i'm sorry to say. but there is more online polling. so the industry itself knows that this is a big import issue and yet there is still -- because there are so many of them you can screen out which ones are not so good and which are fairly reliable. >> here is one of the audience that says he or she soared in a queens the independent voter with the agnostic or atheists. that is them speaking. how did these groups get into thinking and i think that they mean the non committed religious. >> if you look at the secular, the people that aren't attending, you know, it's not a situation where is driven by a philosophy. whether it is liberal or conservative necessarily. we can find lots of a non and tending toward non mass going liberals and lots of a non church attending conservatives. i think there is this connection in that the non church attendance is defining religion for himself or herself and independence

[laughter] we will find out in a few minutes when we get to the q&a, right? [laughter] where did you say that was, right at the front, write? [laughter] there are ways to do this. one of the things we thought about, there's an earlier statistic i didn't use early on but i will from now there. over half of all counties in the state of iowa, just the city of iowa, i can tell you about missouri and other states, have at least one medically underserved areas. and that is an area that doesn't have a doctor, nurse, nurse's assistant, a dentist and so on. so over half all counties in the state of iowa have at least one medically underserved area and about one-third of them have more than one. here is a thing the you can think about. why not again prospectively instead of trying to attract people back once thick of gone, right

i live in virginia, which voted for the last races of the two candidates for the first time in history, and it was a black man. this is good for projective. but we behaved as if it was a goat. i will grant you, we had a two in 2000, we headed to a 2004, but in 2008 we had an election and following an election you don't sit at home and wait to see what happens. you have made a deal and you are half of the deal is exactly what barack obama asked for. and that is to get out there and make them do it. and i don't mean make the president do it. the low-hanging fruit, is what's left of our representatives is to make your representatives in the house do it. and that means block bad bills, that means subpoenas, that means begin impeachment proceedings and that means put forward good built at the house doesn't always have to go second. the senate doesn't always have to go first. the house can push the senate. the senate has been worse than the house for over two centuries. the house passed bills against slavery at least eight times. the senate thought a war might be a better idea. we are in a s

and monroe like washington and other virginia planters owned slaves. but consider slavery in laurel. but saw no way to end the practice without a blood bath. but i will use one myself. the first thing to remember is that slavery was not in america's institution. it was british, french and spanish. america's inherited after it was 200-years-old. virginians have actually voted to ban slavery in the early 1700's. but the british government of good clean overruled the act largely because the royal treasury depended on revenues from british slave traders. in the decades that followed under the three king george's virginians petitioned time after time to end slavery importation. the georges all refused to and during their brains or africans crossed the atlantic to america than europeans and voluntarily of course. ironically the increase in the number of slaves was more of a burden than benefit to most virginia planters. sleeves were usually unskilled and unable to speak english and they had fewer incentives to work in peace workers in the north and as they a

[applause] before i introduce tonight's speaker i have been asked to give some background about the court house itself. two years after jefferson county was created, the first courthouse was built on this spot on land donated by george washington's younger brother charles. was a modest structur

the bitter struggle as to which town would be the county seat was decided by the west virginia supreme court in july of 1871 and a disappointed shepherdstown almost succeeded from the county. [laughter] the ruined courthouse would now be reconstructed area it would be bigger, stronger, taller, the bell tower was increased fantastically inside and the clock was added. great very well partitioned the ground floors into offices. the exterior walls, windows, and columns were raised higher and to create a for a brand-new courthouse -- courtroom upstairs. basically house of the courtroom, the position of the judge, jury box, the well, enclosed with feeling, similar to that in which john brown was tried. a gigantic chandelier was put in for evening sessions. a balcony was added which was referred to as the ladies listening gallery, this seems an awful lot like a gen-probe. for 40 years, from 1873 until 1912, this courtroom would be the home -- one of the homes of the west virginia supreme court of appeals. in its early days are supreme court with a circuit riding court. during its routines ar

of the commonwealth of virginia. that's all there is to it. and brown said, well, he department care particularly one way or the other, so he let them do it. >> how about his individual constitution? >> it was introduced in evidence in the trial, and portions of it were read to the jury. >> [inaudible] >> yes, uh-huh. yes, sir. >> [inaudible] tried in federal court, but if he'd been tried in federal court, the evidence, would he still have been convicted and hung? >> yes, i think he would have been. >> thank you. >> oh, that satisfies you? [laughter] well, i think he would have been. he was -- he broke the law. i mean, he broke the law in a violent way. you break the law in a violent way, they don't say go home and don't do it again. they, in those days they strung you up and hanged you, and i think that would have happened. but it would have been a much different trial in many respects. one, one important difference would be that the aggrieved party in that case would have been the united states of america. seeking

virginia's u.s. senator james m. mason and a great grandson of mason of gunston hall, the venerated declaration of rights. green was an attorney of obvious ability when later he became a justice of the west virginia supreme court of appeals and they think such provided in this courtroom in the west virginia supreme court of appeals held its sessions here. the overriding problem with the court-appointed attorneys was simply that brown did not choose them to represent in and he had no confidence in them. shortly after he was captured, brown wrote letters to ohio and massachusetts. in both of which states he had formerly lived, asking attorneys there to come to charlestown to represent him as codefendants. but by the time the attorneys were able to respond to brown's letters, the trial that artie begun in charlestown without him. the three attorneys who came to charlestown response to brown's letters were hiram griswold from ohio, samuel chilton from washington d.c. and george white from washington and
