[0:04] Tonight, the president's economic
[0:05] stimulus plan passes the house, but
[0:08] every single Republican votes no, saying
[0:11] too much spending, too few tax cuts. I'm
[0:15] Katie Couric. Also tonight, a dangerous
[0:17] winter storm moves into the northeast.
[0:20] Planes going nowhere, cars getting
[0:22] everywhere, and millions are spending
[0:24] the night in the dark and cold with no
[0:26] electricity.
[0:30] Casualties of war. I had a bruising on
[0:32] my head, cuts under my eyes. CBS News
[0:35] investigates the increase in domestic
[0:37] violence when soldiers come home.

[0:44] second chance at life. If I prayed 24

[1:21] the president because despite a personal
[1:23] visit to Capitol Hill to woo
[1:25] Republicans, not a single one of them
[1:27] voted for the bill. The vote was 244 to
[1:31] 188 with 11 Democrats joining the
[1:33] Republicans in voting no.
[1:36] Chip Reid is our chief White House
[1:37] correspondent, and Chip, I know the
[1:38] president is having a cocktail party
[1:40] right now at the White House with some
[1:42] crush congressional members from both
[1:44] parties. What do you think the mood is
[1:46] like there?
[1:47] Well, Katie, members
