[0:03] >> From NBC News, Decision 2006, election

[0:07] night continues. Here again is Brian

[0:09] Williams.

[0:12] We are back and as the results come in

[0:15] to us, still a lot of races either

[0:17] categorized as too close to call or too

[0:21] early a call to call across this nation.

[0:24] As we said at the top of tonight's

[0:26] broadcast, early Democratic gains still

[0:30] don't get them yet so far this evening

[0:33] the math that they need. We're going to

[0:36] talk to two men who have been

[0:37] instrumental in the political process

[0:40] leading up to tonight, but first over to

[0:43] Tim Russert. Tim, again it bears

[0:45] repeating, some major victories by the

[0:47] Democrats. You can drive west from the

[0:49] state of New Jersey, go all the way

[0:51] through Ohio tonight on this new

[0:54] Democratic Senate territory, but also

[0:56] there's the House as you just ran

[0:58] through. They need 15 seats in the

[1:00] House. They said they've gained five,

[1:02] Brian. They've won three in Indiana

[1:04] alone, one in Connecticut, one in

[1:06] Kentucky. What we're seeing perhaps is a

[1:09] bit of a realignment. The Democrats

[1:11] solidifying their control in the

[1:13] northeast, but picking up seats in the

[1:16] mid-Atlantic and in the and in the

[1:17] Midwest. And forcing the Republicans in

[1:20] the House to become more and more a

[1:22] party of the south and the Rocky

[1:24] Mountains. We haven't seen whether this

[1:27] will play out completely, but early

[1:29] indications are the Democrats are well

[1:32] on their way to recapturing the House

[1:34] and making significant gains in the

[1:37] Senate and in the governorships of the

[1:39] battleground Midwest. Uh when we talk

[1:42] about the House of Representatives, if

[1:44] the Democrats reach their goal tonight,

[1:46] a lot of people are lying back waiting

[1:49] for them to turn it into a series of

[1:51] hearings, a courtroom as the expression

[1:54] goes, and that it'll all be about

[1:56] retribution, the politics of slash and

[1:59] burn as we heard Senator Obama. What's

[2:02] going to be the force that could come to

[2:04] the fore in the House to prevent that?

[2:06] John Conyers, who would become the

[2:08] chairman of the Judiciary Committee, had

[2:09] on his website the notion of impeachment

[2:12] until May

[2:13] of this year and it was taken down.

[2:16] If Nancy Pelosi becomes speaker, she

[2:17] says that impeachment is off the table.

[2:20] But that does not mean there would not

[2:22] be robust oversight of Iraq, of

[2:26] Halliburton, of Katrina, and what went

[2:29] wrong with the weapons of mass

[2:30] destruction.

[2:31] But on the other hand, they realize they

[2:33] need a positive agenda. And I would look

[2:36] for the Democrats, if they take control

[2:37] of one of the houses, to push vigorously

[2:39] for minimum wage, push vigorously for a

[2:42] vote on embryonic stem cell research.

[2:45] They need to have a positive agenda and

[2:47] not just be a party in opposition to the

[2:49] president. Tim, thanks. I'm told we can

[2:51] go now to

[2:53] Democratic Congressman Rahm Emanuel of

[2:55] the state of Illinois, former Clinton

[2:58] White House aide who has run the

[3:00] Democratic effort in these House races

[3:03] tonight. He is joined by veteran

[3:05] Republican strategist Ed Gillespie

[3:08] tonight. Rahm, first to you,

[3:10] your summation of what you've seen so

[3:12] far this evening.

[3:14] Well, I mean every part of the country,

[3:16] from Indiana to Connecticut to uh Ver-

[3:20] Ver- uh to New Hampshire to

[3:22] uh Pennsylvania to Kentucky

[3:25] uh you're seeing and even Ohio,

[3:27] Democrats are sweeping and there's some

[3:29] significant wins like in Nancy Johnson

[3:31] losing to Chris Murphy, the state

[3:33] senator. Nancy Johnson was the author of

[3:34] the prescription drug bill. She was

[3:36] supposed to be the She spent four and a

[3:38] half million dollars

[3:39] and outspent them two to one and she

[3:41] went down. People clearly voted for

[3:43] change. We're halfway around the bend.

[3:45] We have eight seats already. We need the

[3:48] 15. I think Tim points out that the

[3:50] Republicans, as he said, are becoming

[3:52] more and more a southern party and I

[3:54] believe we're going to have victories in

[3:55] the southwest and the Rocky Mountain

[3:58] area and I think that's going to be

[3:59] significant for us and I think it's

[4:01] clear the American people said they've

[4:02] had enough after six years of the

[4:04] Republican experiment. They want change.

[4:06] >> Rahm, same question just posed to Tim.

[4:08] How do you prevent the House of

[4:10] Representatives hearing rooms from

[4:12] becoming a courtroom for the next two

[4:14] years and do you think tonight's message

[4:17] carries the embedded message that the

[4:20] American people are sick of division?

[4:23] Well, there's no doubt and we're going

[4:24] to operate the White House I mean the

[4:26] House of Representatives as a bipartisan

[4:28] operation and because people have

[4:30] represent their constituents. We have to

[4:32] The problem of Iraq has been

[4:34] partisanized and politicized for too

[4:36] long by the White House and it's clear

[4:38] we're going to need a bipartisan

[4:39] approach. The second thing is we do have

[4:41] a positive agenda and we're going to put

[4:43] those points on the board. We are going

[4:44] to have a vote on the minimum wage and I

[4:46] guarantee Republicans will join the

[4:47] Democrats who lead in that way. We're

[4:49] going to have a vote on direct

[4:50] negotiations for lower prescription drug

[4:52] prices and Republicans will join the

[4:54] Democrats in their support of our

[4:56] agenda. Stem cell research.

[4:58] But we will have oversight for the

[5:00] billions upon billions of dollars

[5:03] that have been wasted and lost. And that

[5:05] is our responsibility because we've gone

[5:07] three years with the war with no

[5:08] accountability by anybody. Congressman

[5:10] Rahm Emanuel, Democrat of the state of

[5:13] Illinois. Thank you very much for being

[5:15] with us. Brings us to Ed Gillespie. Ed,

[5:18] on the other side, first of all, this

[5:21] message on Iraq. If we stop time just

[5:25] based on the returns we have seen so far

[5:27] tonight, we had tonight on NBC Nightly

[5:30] News Senator Santorum in Pennsylvania

[5:33] say this isn't about Iraq, this is about

[5:36] our own election here, but Ed, the

[5:39] voters had another idea.

[5:42] Well, you know, we'll wait and see

[5:44] what what turns out, Brian. I'm

[5:46] disappointed obviously about Senator

[5:47] Santorum's loss, but you see, I think I

[5:49] just heard Joe Lieberman claiming

[5:51] victory and obviously Iraq was a central

[5:53] issue in Connecticut in that campaign.

[5:56] Rahm cited the loss of Nancy Johnson,

[5:57] which I hated to see, but Chris Shays

[5:59] won re-election there, Jeff Davis in

[6:01] Kentucky. So, I don't know if they're on

[6:03] track to meet the historic second

[6:05] midterm average over the past in modern

[6:08] times of 28 seats or not. Uh we may

[6:10] still hang on. Some of these seats are

[6:11] hard fought and close. Here in Virginia,

[6:14] uh Senator Allen continues to be up with

[6:16] about 94% of the vote in. He's up 21,000

[6:20] votes. Some of theirs are out, some of

[6:22] ours are out. It's going to be close,

[6:23] but I think he's going to win. So, but

[6:25] look, I think we have to listen to the

[6:26] voters and they're clearly saying uh

[6:29] that there are concerns. We have

[6:30] concerns with Iraq and we need to

[6:31] address them. All right, Ed, how do you

[6:33] do business differently from the White

[6:35] House to Capitol Hill tomorrow morning?

[6:38] What is this provided the again, just

[6:41] tonight's message, what is this Chase

[6:43] and or perhaps changed GOP going to look

[6:45] like?

[6:47] Well, as I said, Brian, I'm for

[6:48] listening to the voters. I think that's

[6:50] what you need to do. That's why we have

[6:51] elections in this great country and

[6:53] there is, as you know, a bipartisan

[6:55] commission reviewing some options for

[6:57] Iraq, the Baker-Hamilton Commission,

[6:59] Secretary Baker, former Congressman

[7:01] Hamilton, uh Democrat, and they'll come

[7:03] forward with some thoughts, I think, and

[7:05] maybe that will help us to get some

[7:06] bipartisan consensus. Look, it is

[7:08] critically important that we have

[7:10] bipartisan consensus on how we go about

[7:12] winning the war on terror. It's been a

[7:14] division of latest whether or not

[7:15] winning in Iraq is essential to winning

[7:18] in the war on terror. We've got to

[7:19] resolve that. I believe it is, most

[7:20] Republicans do, most Democrats don't,

[7:23] but we need to find some common ground

[7:24] here because this is about our national

[7:26] security.

[7:27] Ed Gillespie, thank you very much for

[7:29] being with us tonight. Ed Gillespie,

[7:32] long-time Republican political operative

[7:34] talking about Republicans and Democrats,

[7:36] but tonight, when the book is written

[7:38] about this election, it may so easily

[7:41] key in on those independents. We have a

[7:43] live picture to show you, Senator

[7:45] Hillary Rodham Clinton, who as of

[7:47] tonight, you may recommend recognize the

[7:50] man to the left, as of tonight will be

[7:52] returning to the US Senate. She spent a

[7:55] fortune, cruised to victory in the in

[7:57] the end against a man most would refer

[8:00] to as token opposition. Former president

[8:03] has been very busy over the last several

[8:06] days. They sent him into one campaign

[8:09] visit last night at 9:30 at night in

[8:13] Rhode Island because they thought they

[8:14] had a chance at a Democratic pickup and

[8:17] they got it. So, both Clintons have been

[8:20] working hard in in this race. We're

[8:24] going to go to Chip Reid in Washington.

[8:26] We have been talking all day, Chip,

[8:28] about these voting irregularities. We've

[8:31] been running with the number 18 states

[8:34] have been handling official complaints,

[8:36] standing in line too long, too much ID

[8:39] required, or just plain old trickery at

[8:42] the polls. What can you tell us?

[8:43] >> Well, most of it, Brian, is electronic

[8:45] voting and we had predicted this.

[8:47] Everybody was aware that something was

[8:48] going to happen and it's it's not as bad

[8:50] as some people had said it was going to

[8:52] be. It's about what everybody expected,

[8:54] a lot of confusion at the polls. About

[8:56] 16 million people are using electronic

[8:59] voting this voting day for the first

[9:01] time. Uh and it's not only the voters,

[9:03] it's especially the poll workers who are

[9:05] confused by it. It really is complicated

[9:07] just getting those machines up and

[9:09] running and in Colorado, uh Texas,

[9:11] Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, uh

[9:13] and a number of other states, they had

[9:15] difficulties there. Now, again, it's not

[9:17] as bad as it might have been, but let's

[9:19] keep in mind that there still could be

[9:21] big problems buried here and we will

[9:23] probably only find that out in races

[9:26] that are really close. For example, if

[9:28] Tennessee or Virginia Senate races

[9:29] really close, then the lawyers will dig

[9:31] in and see what's really there, Brian.

[9:33] Chip Reid on Capitol Hill, an issue we

[9:35] will continue to follow in the in

[9:37] subsequent days on NBC Nightly News.

[9:40] We'll take another break in our coverage

[9:42] and continue on the other side as these

[9:45] race results come in. We'll take a look

[9:47] live at the new independent senator from

[9:51] the state of Connecticut, former

[9:53] Democrat Joe Lieberman, who says he will

[9:56] be caucusing and voting with his own

[9:59] party. He is a happy man tonight having

[10:01] had a political near-death experience.

[10:03] [music] Decision 2006 continues right

[10:06] after this.

[10:09] >> [music]

[10:12] >> I want to treat my osteoporosis.

[10:14] >> I want to keep my bones healthy. I want

[10:16] to protect myself against fractures.

[10:17] [music] Especially at the hip. I can

[10:19] help. Fosamax plus D treats

[10:21] postmenopausal osteoporosis. My doctor

[10:24] prescribed Fosamax [music] plus D and

[10:26] she said, "Not all treatments are the

[10:27] same." Only Fosamax plus D is [music]

[10:30] approved to help prevent fractures of

[10:31] both the hip and spine in women with

[10:33] osteoporosis. Boniva is not. Protecting

[10:36] my hip is important to me. You should

[10:37] [music] not use Fosamax plus D if you

[10:39] have certain disorders of the esophagus,

[10:41] are not able to stand or sit upright for

[10:43] [music] 30 minutes, have severe kidney

[10:44] disease, or low blood calcium. Before

[10:46] use, talk to your doctor if you have

[10:48] stomach or digestive [music] problems

[10:49] and about any medications you're taking,

[10:51] including vitamins and supplements. It's

[10:53] not for vitamin D deficiency.

[10:55] >> [music]

[10:55] >> Stop taking Fosamax plus D and call your

[10:57] doctor right away if you develop new or

[10:58] worsening heartburn, [music] difficult

[11:00] or painful swallowing, or chest pain

[11:01] because these may be signs of serious

[11:03] upper digestive problems. [music]

[11:04] I listened.

[11:06] I heard. Fosamax plus D. The only one

[11:09] that protects both your hip and spine.

[11:13] Nasal allergy symptoms like congestion

[11:15] can occur at any time.

[11:17] And it's hard to avoid the things that

[11:18] cause them. Achoo! Prescription Nasonex

[11:20] helps [music] relieve congestion

[11:23] and other nasal allergy symptoms.

[11:25] Maybe that's why 4 million nasal allergy

[11:27] sufferers used Nasonex last year.

[11:29] Side effects were generally mild and

[11:31] included headache, viral infection, sore

[11:33] throat, nosebleeds, and coughing. For

[11:34] more information, talk to your doctor.

[11:36] Nasonex keeps congestion and other nasal

[11:38] allergy symptoms on the run, day and

[11:41] night.

[11:42] A lot of people [music] have trouble

[11:44] sleeping, but they don't all have the

[11:46] same trouble. Some can't turn off

[11:48] [music] and stay awake for hours. Others

[11:50] turn off right away, but wake up again

[11:52] later. Many people [music] have both

[11:53] problems. That's why people are asking

[11:56] their doctors for controlled release

[11:57] formula Ambien CR, the latest Ambien.

[12:00] [music] It's the only one with two

[12:01] layers that work differently. One

[12:03] dissolves quickly to help you fall

[12:05] [music] asleep fast, the other dissolves

[12:07] slowly to help you stay asleep. Ambien

[12:09] CR is a treatment option you and your

[12:11] doctor can consider along [music] with

[12:12] lifestyle changes and can be taken for

[12:14] as long as your doctor recommends. Until

[12:16] you know how Ambien CR will affect you,

[12:18] you shouldn't drive or operate

[12:19] machinery. Be sure you're able to devote

[12:21] 7 to 8 hours to sleep before being

[12:22] active again. Side effects may include

[12:24] next-day drowsiness, [music] dizziness,

[12:26] and headache. It's non-narcotic.

[12:27] However, like most sleep medicines, it

[12:29] has some risk of dependency. Don't take

[12:30] it with alcohol. A good night's sleep

[12:32] [music] shouldn't be an on-off thing.

[12:34] Falling asleep and staying asleep can

[12:36] make a big difference. So, ask your

[12:37] doctor [music] about controlled release

[12:39] formula Ambien CR. Remember, CR. On NBC

[12:43] [music] Friday, the party is just

[12:44] getting started. First on 1 vs. 100,

[12:48] more contestants take on the mob for $1

[12:50] million. Rule number one on an all-new

[12:53] Las Vegas, don't mess with Sam's money.

[12:57] Then on an all-new Law & Order, he made

[12:59] billions selling videos of girls at wild

[13:02] parties [music]

[13:03] until it was murder caught on tape. And

[13:06] I intend to make you pay for that.

[13:08] >> 1 vs. 100, Las Vegas, and Law & Order,

[13:11] Friday on NBC. The future holds

[13:13] something new Wednesday nights. Medium

[13:16] returns.

[13:17] >> I had the most horrible nightmare.

[13:22] Part supermom, part supernatural.

[13:25] >> You know this because because of the

[13:27] wonderful things she does.

[13:30] >> [music]

[13:31] >> Yesterday was a dream. This restaurant

[13:32] is not being robbed. Everyone stay

[13:35] still! This is a robbery!

[13:37] The Medium two-hour season premiere,

[13:39] Wednesday, November 15th, 9/8 Central on

[13:41] NBC.

[13:45] >> [music]

[13:48] >> We are back Election Night Headquarters,

[13:50] Decision [music] 2006 here at 30

[13:52] Rockefeller Plaza in New York. Thanks to

[13:54] the magic of videotape, seemingly out on

[13:57] the plaza, actually eight stories above,

[13:59] cozy on a rainy night in this studio.

[14:02] [music] Russert and Brokaw crunch the

[14:04] numbers on both sides of me. Campbell

[14:06] Brown has been looking at the message

[14:08] embedded in the exit polling data

[14:10] tonight, Campbell. And Brian, tonight

[14:12] it's kind of a move to the middle with

[14:14] the big question of whether control of

[14:17] Congress will switch to Democrats. Our

[14:18] exit poll tells us that if they're going

[14:21] to do it this year, Democrats will have

[14:22] to take a different path than

[14:24] Republicans did when they took control

[14:26] in 1994. Rather than appealing to their

[14:29] base voters, Democrats this year are

[14:31] pulling from the middle. Case in point,

[14:34] independents generally split their votes

[14:36] in congressional elections, but not this

[14:38] year. Democrats had a 20-point edge

[14:40] among independents in the national exit

[14:43] poll, though we don't know yet how many

[14:45] independents turned out to vote. Four

[14:47] years ago, those numbers were basically

[14:49] split. Democrats have widened their

[14:51] appeal among voters in the middle of the

[14:54] political spectrum. Among voters who

[14:56] described themselves as moderate, 62%

[14:59] went for Democrats, 36% for Republicans,

[15:02] and suburbanites went for Democrats as

[15:04] well by margin of 53 to 45%, slightly

[15:08] stronger than four years ago. And a

[15:10] caveat, even though these broad numbers

[15:12] look strong for Democrats, these races

[15:14] are all local and most of them have not

[15:17] yet been called. So, it's a really sort

[15:18] of rejection of the polarization that

[15:21] we've seen. We could find the key to the

[15:23] entire election in all of these exit

[15:26] poll numbers. Campbell, thank you for

[15:27] that. And another word on Senator

[15:30] Hillary Rodham Clinton accepting tonight

[15:33] this next term in office. My colleague

[15:37] Lester Holt is in her hotel ballroom, a

[15:40] stone's throw from here at the Sheraton

[15:42] on the West Side of Manhattan. Lester,

[15:45] what's being said in there tonight that

[15:47] might indicate what many regard as the

[15:49] presumptive leading candidate for

[15:51] nomination?

[15:52] Well, nothing from the senator herself.

[15:54] She just left the stage a moment ago,

[15:55] Brian, talking about the future in a

[15:58] second term as senator from New York.

[16:00] But of course, on the lips of everyone

[16:02] here is the presidency in '08. She's

[16:04] long been thought to be the Democratic

[16:06] frontrunner if she wants it. Her people

[16:08] tonight telling me a short while ago,

[16:10] she hasn't thought about it. Her plan

[16:12] was to start thinking about it after

[16:14] this election. Tomorrow, she'll go

[16:16] around the state and thank [music]

[16:17] people. She has carefully and deftly

[16:20] avoided and deflected that question

[16:21] throughout the campaign. But time is

[16:23] running out for her and the 20-something

[16:26] other

[16:27] potential candidates on both sides,

[16:29] Republican and Democrat. The first

[16:31] caucus, Brian, is 14 months from now in

[16:34] Iowa. So, if you live in places like

[16:36] Iowa, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and

[16:38] Nevada, despite what the papers tell you

[16:40] tomorrow, the campaign season is not

[16:42] over. Now, for Hillary Clinton, the war

[16:45] could be an issue. She has been a

[16:46] supporter of the war. She voted for it.

[16:49] And while she called for the ouster, the

[16:50] resignation of Donald Rumsfeld, she is

[16:52] seen by many in the left in her party as

[16:55] being pro-war. That comes at a time now

[16:57] that Barack Obama has

[16:59] emerged on the scene as the latest

[17:01] Democratic rock star. He of course

[17:03] didn't have to lay a vote on the war

[17:05] issue. He simply has said it's poorly

[17:07] conceived and it has been poorly

[17:09] executed. On the Republican side, as we

[17:11] look to '08, the conventional wisdom has

[17:13] been if mainstream

[17:15] conservative Republicans don't do well,

[17:18] that might be an opening for so-called

[17:20] mavericks or those who don't vote

[17:22] lockstep with a party, people perhaps

[17:24] like Senator John McCain, like the

[17:26] former New York City Mayor Rudolph

[17:28] Giuliani.

[17:30] Then there are those who may be standing

[17:31] on the outside tonight. They could be

[17:34] damaged goods. Senator John Kerry, of

[17:36] course, and those ill-timed remarks last

[17:38] week that many thought offensive to

[17:40] soldiers in Iraq. That could doom his

[17:43] chances in the view of many. And of

[17:45] course, George Allen in Virginia had an

[17:48] unfortunate comment along the way in his

[17:50] race. Long seen as a potential

[17:52] frontrunner as a Republican challenger

[17:55] for president, but a big question mark

[17:56] on him tonight. But it's clearly all

[17:59] eyes right now on those four states,

[18:00] Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South

[18:02] Carolina. Things getting underway in a

[18:03] very short order and all the candidates

[18:06] will be looking at the results, the exit

[18:08] polling overnight and perhaps making

[18:10] their moves very soon, Brian. All right,

[18:12] Lester Holt at Clinton headquarters

[18:14] tonight here in New York. And Lester, a

[18:16] great point. To Tom Brokaw, more on

[18:18] that. Now, we learn tonight Senator

[18:21] Clinton hasn't thought about running for

[18:22] president, apparently, which will be a

[18:24] shock to a lot of people in politics in

[18:26] New York and Washington. But how does

[18:29] this, do you think, Tom, jumble up some

[18:31] of the best-laid plans for the next time

[18:33] around in '08? Well, I think it's a

[18:35] little too early to say that. We'll have

[18:36] a sorting out period here that will go

[18:38] on for a month or so as we look at these

[18:40] numbers.

[18:41] I think the

[18:43] the races are all in place for the

[18:44] people on the Democratic side.

[18:46] Obviously, some Republicans have gotten

[18:48] hurt. George Allen thought that he was

[18:50] going to be a strong presidential

[18:51] candidate next time around. He may very

[18:54] well win this race in Virginia, but he's

[18:56] hurt himself. John Kerry in the closing

[18:58] days of the campaign on the Democratic

[19:00] side with his gaffe. I've been thinking

[19:02] a little bit about what this means for

[19:04] the presidency as well, the current

[19:06] president. You know, he said after he

[19:08] won

[19:09] by a very large popular vote last time

[19:11] around, "I've got a lot of political

[19:13] capital and I'm going to spend it."

[19:14] Well, he may not be in bankruptcy

[19:16] tonight, but he's going to be bouncing a

[19:17] lot of checks by the by the end of the

[19:19] evening if these current trends

[19:20] continue. And that'll [snorts] make it

[19:22] tough for him to be the force that he

[19:24] would like to be in the closing two

[19:25] years of his presidency. However large

[19:28] the gains are or small they are for the

[19:31] Democrats as we now seem to think that

[19:33] they will do pretty well by the end of

[19:35] the evening.

[19:35] >> And it'll be interesting if we do hear

[19:37] from the president tomorrow. Tim, we

[19:39] have about 20 seconds. This time of

[19:41] night, you become a fog of numbers and

[19:43] dry-erase markers.

[19:44] >> The Democrats need 15 to take control

[19:46] the House, Brian. They now are more than

[19:48] halfway there. We told you about

[19:50] Indiana, Kentucky, and Connecticut. Now,

[19:52] New Hampshire. Congressman Charlie Bass

[19:54] has fallen. Ohio, the seat of Bob Ney,

[19:57] convicted,

[19:58] has fallen. And in North Carolina, Heath

[20:01] Heath Heath Shuler, former Washington

[20:03] Redskins quarterback, going back as a

[20:05] Democratic congressman. And we'll be

[20:07] back. What's more, right after this.

[20:15] Maud,

[20:16] cows are out.

[20:20] I found them.

[20:25] >> [music]

[20:25] >> Things are easier to find when they're

[20:27] stuck together.

[20:30] together, so you always know where they

[20:32] are. For lids that are easy to find, get

[20:35] Gladware interlocking lids. And for more

[20:37] food storage [music] needs, get Glad

[20:39] Food Bags.

[20:41] Sorry.

[20:43] >> [clears throat]

[20:43] >> Can barely speak. Sore throat so

[20:45] painful. I need something stronger.

[20:53] [music] do all this. Only new Cepacol

[21:57] Healthy Choice gave us a challenge. To

[21:59] make their meals even more delicious.

[22:01] And healthy. These old cookbooks say to

[22:03] flood it in butter. Or drown it in salt.

[22:05] >> But we found another way. We use more

[22:07] flavorful techniques. Like marinating.

[22:09] Fire grilling.

[22:11] Or slow roasting.

[22:13] And by doing this, we're adding flavor

[22:15] to taste.

[22:17] Delicious. And healthy.

[22:22] Healthy Choice. It's all about the

[22:24] choices we make.

[22:26] If you have a certain type of chronic

[22:28] dry eye, you should know that only

[22:30] Restasis, with continued [music] use,

[22:32] helps increase your natural ability to

[22:34] produce tears, which may be reduced by

[22:36] inflammation caused by chronic dry eye.

[22:38] Ordinary [music] drops just treat

[22:40] symptoms. Restasis should not be used by

[22:42] patients with active eye infections and

[22:44] has not been studied [music] in patients

[22:45] with a history of herpes viral

[22:47] infections of the eye. The most common

[22:49] side effect is a temporary [music]

[22:50] burning sensation. Ask your eye doctor

[22:52] about Restasis. Make an appointment

[22:54] today.

[22:56] Tonight, Jay's all new. Oh, that's new.

[22:59] With Courtney Love.

[23:03] Garrett. Plus election day coverage you

[23:08] Halle Berry, Anderson Cooper, and X-Men

[26:58] From the First [music] Alert Storm

[27:00] Center, this is a Northwest NewsChannel

[27:02] 8 weather alert.

[27:05] Good evening, everybody. I'm Matt Safino

[27:06] in the First Alert Storm Center. Want to

[27:08] bring you up to date on the weather. The

[27:09] late heavy rains have ended, but we

[27:11] still have some pretty strong showers

[27:12] out there, especially up around Mount

[27:14] Hood and the Hood River Valley, where

[27:16] Highway 35 is closed due to landslides.

[27:18] We're going to see several showers

[27:19] tomorrow and look forward to more stormy

[27:21] weather later in the week and over the

[27:23] weekend. We'll have more on that for you

[27:25] coming up on the news later tonight.
