What is shaping up to be a very close election. Dave Courvoisier you just heard some backandforth over a potential Government Shutdown. The two also sparred over immigration, Supreme Court nominees, rising costs of healthcare. Refugees and gun background checks. Christianne Klein on that last issue, the two could not have differed more. We are making all of these clips available to you on our website so you can watch them in their entirety. Dave Courvoisier our moderators for tonights debate were 8 news now anchor Denise Valdez, univision anchor t politics now cohost steve sebelius. Christianne Klein after the debate they broke down some of their more memorable moments from the hour Denise Valdez coming right out of the gate when steve went after congressman heck for why did it take so long for to withdraw your support from trump let me tell you, she wasted no time going after him on that. Steve sebelius yeah, absolutely, that was obviously going to be one of her main lines off attack all night, it was definitely advantage for her because he waited so long. There were so many things that he had said up until now. It does look like political opportunism and she really tried to exploit that. Tsitsiki had the tough job of trying to nail down some real specifics, we didnt really get there did we . Tsitsiki such a broad subject, were talking about immigration. And the interesting part of this is they both are for a path to citizenship, they both are for securing the border and they spoke in a different voice when doing that. Cortez masto said her grandfather was an immigrant. He said he had relatives that were from italy that were immigrants. However, she focused more on bringing people out of the shadows while we gotta fix the legal system on immigration laws, so it was interesting. Denise valdez they both personalized that one a little bit. Another one we had trouble getting a clear answer we were trying to get a dollar figure from them about how much you would raise taxes on the wealthiest americans. Neither of them would really commit to a dollar figure, they said it was something they would have to do when they were elected and work with other people across the aisle, that sort of thing. There was an interesting moment, it was unexpected for us steve you them to raise their hands about Government Shutdown they both raised their hands. Steve sebelius yeah they both raised their hand. I was wondering if congressman heck would raise his hand. What he was trying to say was he didnt take a specific vote to shut down the government. There was no vote to formally do that, although the votes that he did take led to a Government Shutdown and thats the point that i think Catherine Cortez masto came back to almost immediately. And in her candidate to candidate question she brought that up as well. Christianne Klein immediately after the debate our own Shakala Alvaranga tracked down the candidates backstage to see how they felt about their performances. Shakala joins us live from Canyon Springs high school with more. Shakala . Shakala Alvaranga christianne, both of the candidates were very content with how the debate went tonight. They understood what was at stake and the importance of tonights debate we asked dr. Joe heck and Catherine Cortez the former nevada state attorney had to say i will be standing up to the interest of the people of the state of nevada and he is going to be standing up for special interests. Born and raised in the state, getting around and talking to the voters, i want them to know that i know what its like to work hard and i know the struggles that theyre dealing with. Its our voices that we are going to take to washington. Shakala Alvaranga congressman joe hecks Campaign Said heck had several big moments of the night, they called him the clear winne call out cortez masto for her allegations. the difference is real world experience and tackling those tough issues and the demonstrative record of being able to identify a problem, come up with a solution, and then get that bill passed in a bipartisan way. Weve traveled around the state and asked people what are the issues most important to them, jobs in the economy, national security, health care and education. Shakala Alvaranga Cortez Mastos campaign called hecks speech quote proved herself to be a Problem Solver tonight. Reporting live Shakala Alvaranga 8 news now. Dave Courvoisier it will be interesting to see how this debate sways poll numbers, if at all. An exclusive poll for 8 news now conducted between october 10th and the 13th showed cortez masto with a narrow lead over congressman heck. We spoke with the pollster who compiled the numbers. Brittany edney joins us live with the newsroom with more on the methodology. Brittany . Dave, this poll was conducted by jmc analytics and polling. It shows cortez masto with 40percent of support among likely voters to hecks 35percent. The margin of error is four percent. John couvillon orchestrated the poll and told us what stood out to him John Couvillon jmc analytics and polling you know, the thing that i found interesting was the fact that joe hecks numbers have dropped, because what has happened since his criticism of donald trump, those who are supporting donald trump are not sticking by him to the same extent that Cortez Mastos supporters coming from the clinton supporters. Trump people is costing joe heck approximately the margin by which he is behind cortez masto. Brittany Edney a random sample of 600 respondents was chosen from nevada voter rolls. Jmc analytics polled a breakdown of likely voters with a breakdown by race, party, gender and so forth thats representative of state demographics. While cortez masto is leading in this pol shes a sure thing to win by any means John Couvillon jmc analytics and polling while clinton and cortez masto are leading in the poll, the thing thats crucial to understand here is that their margin of victory, so to speak, is dependent on occasional and nonvoters. While they turned out heavily and turned nevada blue in 2008 and 2012, its not at all certain if that will repeat itself in 2016 and if it does not, the chance that both of those democrats would carry the state is not a certainty. 16percent of respondents were undecided. So well see if tonights debate helped or hurt either candidate more than the other. Live in the newsroom, Brittany Edney. 8 news now. Dave Courvoisier thank you, brittany. Like you said, those undecided voters could be the difference in this election. We invited several of them to watch the debate with us tonight. Patrick walker shows us who impressed them patrick well we are checking in with our panel of undecided voters coming in. Everybody was undecided coming in tonight. Right. Masto and joe heck. A show of hands, who has made a decision. Its ok. So a couple of undecided. So who is voting for joe heck . That would be one, two, three out. So 10 votes for joe heck. Masto . One over here, so i want to start with you mark. Why did you want to go with masto . mark i think she is more grounded on the nevada issues, patrick all right cathy, i want to check in with you, who do you think won tonight . cathy i think joe heck did because he stayed on topic. He didnt go on the attack of his opponent and deflect the question by attacking his opponent. He had very concise ideas and he had a plan and he stuck to it. patrick well we wanted to ask the panel about what they heard and didnt hear. Heard about gun control, who thought they heard everything they wanted to hear . What specifically rang out to you about guns or otherwise . voter joe heck is who i stand what specifically rang out to you about guns or otherwise . voter joe heck is who i stand for when it comes to the gun issue. And its ridiculous to put people on a list with no due process with no real reason to get off the list or to get on the list. Keeping guns out of their hands isnt really an issue because like he said. Theres only a 1,000 people on that list. Law abiding citizens arent the problems, criminals problems. So i stand behind joe heck. Hes rated positive with the nra and i think we should all take that into consideration. patrick this debate was the only one between the candidates and there was a lot we heard. But there were things we didnt hear. Who wanted to hear more . I want to come over to you wanda, what didnt you hear tonight could be a doctor but yet vote 8 times to defund healthcare.

It was a bruising. Phyiscal game between coronado and liberty weve got all the hits. Collisions. And toughness coming up in sports jon tritsch the desert is where bad guys go when they want to make evidence disappear. But hiding the evidence wont help Danny Tarkanian. Sure, he can bury all those property taxes he skipped out on for years. Or all those Fake Charities he helped set up. Or the scams against seniors he formed. Or the 17 million judgment he never paid. Danny tarkanian just a con man who cant bury the truth. Life. Liberty high. And the pursuit of blowouts. The most dominant Public School program in the state welcomed their next door neighbor, coronado to their house for a henderson showdown and our fans choice game of the week at liberty. The tenacity and intensity starts young. In ten years the Little Patriot will look like this guy and makes plays like Crishaun Lappin. From chrishaun to kishon. Liberty puts points on the board. Kishon pitts punching it in. 140 can not run away from damanhy whittle. Reaching around the blocking back to make the tackle. Savage behavior from one of the best players in the city. Libertys offense having to grind it out more than they expected. Coron ados defense making life difficult. Deangelo bottley. Interception. He had two on the day. Cougars had 4 as a team. But coronado could never capitalize. Meanwhile. Liberty had bryson delacruz. Summe rsaulting for six. Warm up the liberty victory bell away. 356. Liberty stays perfect in nevada and wants more than just a hohum 29 point win Crishaun Lappin liberty i think its good for the defense. But honestly, we could have played way, way, way better. I think we played down to coronados level. We should have been way better. Damanhy whittle liberty defense is really aggressive and we enjoy hitting. We just wanted to come out and play with focus. Our team this week was off and on. But we are going to be dialed in this week. Ill make sure of it. We are going to be dialed in this week. were back right after this.
