[0:01] Tonight, close to the end.
[0:03] Just hours before election day, polls
[0:06] show a virtual tie.
[0:07] >> That's why I need your vote.
[0:09] >> Every single voter, get them out.
[0:11] >> Election Eve reports from Jan Crawford,
[0:13] Nancy Cordes, Bob Schieffer, and John
[0:16] Dickerson.
[0:17] A week after the storm, folks are so
[0:20] desperate for heat, they're burning
[0:22] furniture.
[0:22] >> It's very cold, and they need to keep
[0:24] warm somehow.
[0:26] >> Reports from Jim Axelrod and Seth Doane.
[0:29] And remember all that anger on the gas
[0:32] lines?
[0:32] >> I'm yelling. I'm yelling.
[0:35] >> Ben Tracy's found one place that's
[0:37] old-fashioned friendly.
[0:39] >> Long as the people need the gas, we'll

[0:51] Good evening. 2 years, 2 billion
[0:54] dollars. Now, it's your turn. The long,
[0:57] expensive presidential race is down to
[0:59] its final hours. National polls show
[1:02] that it's dead even, but in the few
[1:04] swing states that could tip the balance
[1:06] tomorrow night, President Obama has a
[1:09] slight advantage over Mitt Romney. In
[1:12] Ohio, a University of Cincinnati poll
[1:15] shows the president ahead 50% to 49. In
[1:19] Florida, a recent poll has him ahead by
[1:21] just two points. In Wisconsin, the
[1:24] president leads by three points. In
[1:27] Iowa, the Des Moines Register shows Mr.
[1:29] Obama up five points. And a Colorado
[1:33] poll has him ahead by two points.
[1:36] Our Campaign 2012 team is covering.
[1:39] First, we're going to go to Nancy Cordes
[1:41] with the president tonight. Nancy?
[1:44] >> Scott, after 100 rallies, the president
[1:47] holds his final one here in Des Moines
[1:49] tonight for two reasons. Fir
