Senate debate today. Two candidates fighting for your vote, the colorado vote. He has an equal opportunity insulter if there ever was one. Special prosecutor here we come. Right. But the president ial race still on many peoples minds as donald trump and Hillary Clinton continue the nasty battle. We will talk about brutal attacks that went on after the debate. The can comcast outage many wondering what happened. We want to get to amelia this morning. Theres a fuel spill on i25 and almeida. What can you tell us about that. What we know so far as sky 9 flies over the scene, multiple lanes are blocked on northbound i25 between santa fe and almeida. Crews have arrived right now. We have a tow truck. It started with a large semi truck that stalled out on the road. Were not sure if the truck hit front of the truck. There is a dump truck carrying some sort of material that will be spread across the spill to soak up all of the liquid. Its obviously a hazard as cars drive through with the fuel across the roads. Northbound i25 is down to a single lane getting through in the northbound stretch. Come out to the cdot cameras. A big backup has developed behind the scene. Northbound slowdowns between colorado and downing street. Heading right through the bridges. This has potential to impact us throughout the morning. Live views across the maps show that the slowdowns have dropped the speeds down to the single digits. That big line of red will go down towards colorado and has the potential to get much worse. Please plan ahead. Use hampton over to colorado or university to head in the northbound direction and access spear to get into downtown or cherry creek. Right now it is a 23minute drive and usually at this time minutes. So i have a feeling this will get much, much worse. Our average speeds are already down in the 30s. That is such a difficult way to start the day. For us, high clouds are over the area. They have kept us warm overnight. We are actually in the mid50s already this morning. It is cloudy over the area. As far as rain and snow goes, it is hanging up in the mountains. Look how mild it is. 50s and 60s this morning. I am seeing some cooler air up around logan county. Ill be watching that during the morning and see how south that moves. Thunder snow through mountain areas this morning, especially the Elk Mountains and the Loveland Pass area. Some areas of showers there. Some of those may be making it as far east as red feather lakes. We have the high terrain coming up along the pass area. Generally less than a tenth of an inch for area thats get mountain areas. For us, a couple hundredths of inch is all we will do as we move into the 70s today. Do not get used to that. We have a big change coming in tomorrow. All right. We will look forward to that. Thank you much. It is 4 minutes after 6 00. Tonight the candidates for u. S. Senate in colorado will debate. Democratic senator bennett is the incumbent. And republican challenger glenn is fighting him. And tonight the two will face out news. Colleen ferreira is live at the History Colorado Center. That is where the debate will take place. Colleen, good morning. Reporter yes. Good morning, gary. It begins here at 7 00 p. M. Tonight. Now you are the voters so we want to hear from you. If there is a suggestion that you have about a topic for tonights debate go to 9news. Com and you can email our Political Team about any suggestions that you may have. Theyre taking everything into consideration. And guys, if you are an undecided voter, tonight would and get an idea about each of these candidates. None of them know any of the questions because our 9 news Political Team are keeping those under wraps until this evening. They are not releasing anything to the candidates ahead of time. I want to talk a little bit about background here. Glenn turned down the denver post debate. Bennett turned down the cbs4 debate. But both agreed to debate on 9 news tonight. We spoke to both candidates over the past few there have been many developments since the interviews with them. When it comes to key issues, the feeling about their opponent wont change. I think his position that he has taken, he cant work with any elected democrats. The problem with washington as he said over and over again during the primary debate is the republicans in washington have been too collaborative. That would be an unhelpful republicans to vote for the iran deal and the Affordable Care act. And all of the Clean Water Initiative thats are basically causing harm here in colorado. Thats not reaching across the aisle. Thats working against the interest of colorado. Reporter the debate begins here at 7 00 p. M. Tonight. You can watch it live uninterrupted by commercials starting at 7 00 p. M. On channel 20. Also watch 9news. Com. Gary, if you have watched them do any moderating before, you know that they are very fair but they can be tough. So it should be a good debate tonight. A lot of people looking forward to that. It will be live on channel 20. It starts at 7 00 tonight. You can also watch it on 9news. Com, on our website. The coverage actually starts at 6 00. When you can watch next with with less than a month from when voters cast their ballot, Hillary Clinton and donald trump are fighting tooth and nail for the white house. Jessica, as seen from that debate, the race is getting nasty. It really is, corey. You may know one of the top georgist wills in our country, Bob Schieffer said after the debate what is happening and how did it get to this point. Thats a sentiment that many both candidates are in florida with 27 days until election day. The gloves are off as clinton and trump are throwing punches. Trump is honing in on the e mail scandal. Clinton has talked about policy a bit more but her attacks on trump involve a sex tape and his character in general. We have been talking about how trumps 2005 comments caused a fallout within the republican defend his own partys candidate. John mccain saying he will probably write someone in come election day. Experts say just because the latest polls by abc and wall street journal have trump trailing about 11 does not mean its over for the republican nominee. Apologize unequivocally. It sounds like theres more to come. Anyone who has been married understands and i am sorry. I dont care how gorgeous you think you are, you have to be nice to them. Being nice to them is not hugging them or groping them. By the way, colorado is getting attention from both campaigns this week. Trumps son was in greenwood yesterday. Today he will be visiting his dads Campaign Office in greeley. Hillary clinton is holding an event in pueblo on wednesday. And corey, back to the republicans are still trying to figure out who theyre going to vote for and how to move forward. That is for sure. The third in line for president is not supporting either candidate. Now he is just focusing on congressional races. He is done defending trump. He will campaign to maintain the House Majority if clinton is elected. Trump says ryan should stop fighting him and focus on issue affecting the co hacking on the upcoming election was a topic in the debate. Raising the question is the u. S. Election hackable . The fbi says no, it is not. They say it is not possible because the actual ballots are mostly off line. But individual incidents here and there can undermine the faith in the system. Well, police are asking for help to find somebody who caused a fourcar crash that killed one person. That person then got out of the on southbound colorado boulevard near 40th. The car hit a prius that started a Chain Reaction with two more cars. The driver of the prius was killed. The driver who started the thing jumped out of the car and ran to a gas station and left with someone who was there. Police say he is a light skinned black male in his 20s with braids and may have blood on his face. Seeing thunder snow in the mountains this morning. Fast forward to this afternoon when things begin to change taking a look at our forecast for conditions this afternoon. We will continue to see rain and snow in some mountain areas. That rainsnow line jumping up around 10,000 feet. Some showers over the front range and eastern plains. Dont really have a lot of water in them. We will have clouds, fog and drizzle tomorrow morning. The big feature tonight after sunset is the wind. Its going to shift and come out of the north. East. Taking us from the 70s today down into the 30s tonight. With not much of a rebound tomorrow afternoon. Literally blowing in colder weather. Yes, indeed. Thank you, marty. One neighboring state is not happy about colorados marijuana laws. Which state is blaming the federal government for the drug permeating across the southern border . But first. It can be cleaned and saved, but just abou gone. The carolinas still dealing with massive cleanup after North Carolina is the state hit hardest by hurricane matthew. Now fema leaders across the nation ar away as pennsylvania and missouri. The torrential rains caused serious flooding in many parts of the state. Many people have been trapped in their homes so they have been using rafts, boats and trucks to plow through the water. 19 people have died across four states, 11 in North Carolina. So difficult to watch that recovery down in North Carolina. And really throughout the we talked about it yesterday. Really hung up on the on the passes and ridgelines much thats what is happening this morning. Cooler air is off to the north. Its already sagging into the nebraska panhandle. I have seen some indication of that. What we will see in general today is the moisture hang along and west of the continental divide. Perhaps at times a couple of showers on the highway. Then this afternoon, small, very small light pockets of rain. Most of in the 70s yet again today. Similar to yesterday. With 50s and 60s in mountain areas. So we get a few areas of rain and snow in the mountains. Again the snow level is way high. Showers over the plains during the afternoon and evening that will be modest at best. And wont cover everyone. If you do manage to get a shower, youre looking at a tenth of an inch of rain or less. Very warm in southeastern colorado. Much cooler in wyoming. And as the cool air spills down out of the north after sunset this evening. So we will be watching for that as temperatures drop down into the 30s tonight. So about 20 degrees cooler than we are now. Partly sunny. 78. One or two showers late in the day today. And then clouds move in tonight with strong winds, upper 30s. We will start with drizzle and fog tomorrow. Actually clear in the afternoon. But it doesnt warm up very much. Thank you, marty. Boy, lots going on. Northbound 25 right at almeida. Coming from a semitruck that stalled out on the highway. Of course this is diesel fuel. And they brought crews in immediately and closed down all lanes of traffic with the exception of the far left lane which is still getting by. Total transparency there. I dont know much about cleaning up a fuel spill but ive been asking experts to share what they know about the process. You have to bring in the absorbent material, build a berm around the spill to keep entire area and then scrape it up and potentially reapplying depending how much has been spilled. Lets come down to the live view from the cdot camera. This is what the backups look like. I think this could be here for hours. Right now its a 40minute delay coming in northbound into downtown denver. And i just tweeted this out. Its not an official prediction by any means but i would say we need to anticipate that these slowdowns could double if not ip c470 up to about 20th. These slowdowns need to be avoided by using alternate routes. University and colorado will connect you with cherry creek. Northbound monaco and quebec areas other ways to get around it. Please avoid north and southbound 25. There will be a curiosity factor as well. It sounds like a mess. Thank you for that. To get the perfect pumpkin for halloween, you need to have the exact levels of nutrients samples off to a lab. And it looks like it has paid off. Whoa. Just how much this huge pumpkin weighs. Thats impressive. We will talk about it coming up. That is a big pumpkin. Were excited that gary is okay and the prognosis looks great. And broncos head coach gary kubiaks health scare is no there was a comcast outage for three hours this morning. Were looking at an outage map. Comcast outages across the country. If you want to see outage information for your specific area, log on to comcast. Com with your account information. It was out for about three hours for us at the station. It is slowly coming back. Gary has been getting tweets throughout the morning from people in fort collins who say their comcast is still out this apple and samsung will be in the highest court in the nation arguing smart phones. Apple wants samsung for copying the distinct look of the iphone. Samsung paid part of the payout. Samsung is arguing to the Supreme Court today that it shouldnt have to pay the entire payout because of specific patent laws. The justices ruling is due by the end of june. With other problems. The galaxy note 7 because of catching on fire. Marijuana from colorado is, quote, permeating into every part of kansas. He says that the states decision to legalize marijuana has led to high grade marijuana replacing lower grade pot and mexico and home grown marijuana from kansas. He also criticized the federal government for not keeping promises to help moving into nearby states. Okay. Here is a check of the weather and the traffic. Lets check in with marty and amelia. Thank you so much. Continued dry condition around here. A couple of spots of moderate drought in and around lyman. From the denver area up to loveland and fort collins. Unfortunately with this system it will mainly be wind and cool with a small chance of a sprinkle late in the day. Working outside will be very the overcast. Have warm conditions during the day. This evening, clouds around. One or two light sprinkles possible. After 6 00, 7 00, thats when i anticipate the wind to kick up out of the north. And for things to start cooling off quickly. Lets go back up to sky 9 over i25 northbound. Right between almeida and 6th avenue where a fuel spill has the highway down to one single lane of traffic. We do not have the number of gallons of fuel that were spilled on the highway. But take a look at the cd delay. Were looking at northbound right there leading up to the spill. Here is the immediate backup of stop and go conditions at emerson. Live views at logan as well as downing showing us just how bad these backups have the potential to become. All the way through the dtc. Here is a look at the delays that have already formed northbound santa fe. Down to 25. Northbound i25 at 7 miles per hour. Even the southbound stretch is northbound. 25 between the tech center and downtown. My suggestions for alternates would be northbound 225 to i70 to the east. Northbound quebec or monaco on your side streets east of the highway. And then further to the west, take a look at the size of this pumpkin. 1910 pounds of halloween fun. And a lot of seeds as you can imagine. Sydney from washington won a pumpkin contest in california. She takes the weighin seriously. Sending samples to labs to test it for fertilizer levels and nutrients. As bi didnt break any world records. The biggest is 2623 pound pumpkin. Yeah. But that one is pretty good. A lot of pumpkin pie. Any pumpkin that you can this is 9 news. A major fuel spill has i25 in the 6th avenue and almeida. And the delays are huge. We are talking thousands of drivers impacted not only along northbound i25 but southbound as well. Theyve got crews on scene near the semitruck where the diesel fuel has leaked from. Crews have brought in the absorbent material and now are scraping up the material, trying to remove it from the scene. This is the view from sky 9. We about an hour. 51 minutes to get from c470 leading into downtown. Average speeds are now 17 miles per hour. The southbound impact not quite as bad but i do anticipate that we will see southbound curiosity delays. The views of the backups here are intense. Here is a live look at the scene. Flashing lights to the right. Emerson is a grid lock slowdown through the bridges. Logan, downing, much of the same. Backups approach colorado. As for the alternates, northbound la quebec are an option. 225 up to i70 further to the east. I25 linking up to hampton can help you get out to colorado or university. And gary, the rest of the drive is active as well. We have a crash southbound 25 to the north and ill track that throughout the morning. Thank you, amelia. We appreciate the update. Marty coniglio joins us as well. Clouds. Hours. Looking out to the east from Sports Authority field. Sure we have a ton of clouds. I love the color on the horizon. Its dry around here. We have had a pretty stormy night in mountain areas. Ridges, passes seeing some active weather with rain and thunder snow. Especially in the elk and west Elk Mountains. It look like crest butte heavy in that area as well. The rain snow line at about 10,000 feet. In that part of the state, thats where we will see some upwards of a quarter of an inch. Thats if you melt the snow down. Here around the front range and in eastern colorado this evening, a few light showers. It will be really unimpressive. Do not count on a lot of rain today. Most of us will stay dry. Those few places that get showers will be extremely light. It will be another warm one, corey. Tomorrow, way different than this. Im going to have to wear sleeves tomorrow is what youre yeah. But its early. 55 degrees. Michael bennet versus darrell glenn. The other fight for the u. S. Senate seat in colorado. The candidates willing trying to sway your vote debating here on 9 news. Colleen ferreira is live outside of the History Colorado Center where they will be debating. Voters have a chance to get their questions answered. Reporter they do. Were asking you to send the questions into the Political Team. Theres a link under this article on our website. You know, it is voter. So if you have any suggests or topics for tonight, now is the time to get them in before the debate begins at 7 00 p. M. Incumbent Michael Bennet is leading in the polls right now. Colorado really has to decide do they like the way things are going with bennett or are they looking for change, and that change would be with glenn. The president ial election will probably come up. Darrell glenn recently changed his position over the weekend on donald trump, asking the mike pence to step into his place. This after the access hollywood tapes were released. When we spoke to bennett last week, he said that trump was unfit to be president. Thats his position. We could hear other topics like education, health care, the iran deal surface. We spoke to both candidates about one of those issues. All you have to do is look at Michael Bennets voting record. When you ask people if the deal was a good vote, if the Affordable Care act was a good vote, hes willing to double down on those issues. If you look where when i voted on that deal, iran had ten bombs worth of enriched uranium and within two to three months of breaking out a nuclear bomb. Reporter i do want to let you know that the interview happened in mid september and the interview with bennett happened in early october. Obviously a lot of the issues nothing is changing in that little amount of time. The debate begins here at 7 00 p. M. Channel 9. And then the debate will be broadcast live on channel 20. No commercial interruption. This will be a full onehour debate for to you watch and list then and maybe, you know, make some decisions here tonight. Were also going to be broadcasting online. So a lot of ways to watch it and chime in as well. Thank you, colleen. This was suppose today be one of the co the nation. But bennett has a Comfortable Lead over glenn. In the latest poll released last week, bennett had 47 to glenns 39 . In the president ial campaigns, both campaigns are in colorado this week. Trumps son will be in greeley today. And tim kaine was in denver for a rally and a concert with Dave Matthews yesterday. Hillary clinton is coming back pueblo tomorrow. It is 6 35 right now. A man convicted of sex crimes will get another chance in the highest court. Today his attorney wills argue that he did not get a fair trial because of his race. Tarhonda thomas has been following this story for us. Tarhonda, his lawyers are appealing to the u. S. Supreme court. Yes, they are, gary. Thats after having the appeal rejected in the colorado Supreme Court. Today the decision will be left to the nations highest court. Records for rodriguez allege one of the jurors was biased. They say the juror, a man, made racial statements about mexican people. Rodriguez was accused of groping two teens at a racetrack in 2007 in aurora. The juror apparently said that rodriguez was guilty because, quote, mexican men take whatever they want, end quote. The juror also allegedly said that a hispanic witness in the case could not be trusted because he was an illegal. That witness was legally a u. S. Lawyers about the statements after rodriguez was convicted of three misdemeanors. He was ordered to go on probation and register as a sex offender. His lawyers asked for a new trial but the court declined citing the no impeachment rule that bars jurors from testifying about deliberations. That is why the Supreme Courts decision in this case is so important. It could impact many other cases. U. S. Supreme Court Justices will begin hearing arguments today. Thank you fo lets check in with mary. Thank you, guys. Color showing all up and down the front range now. You dont have to go to the mountains to see beautiful things. William king shared this on twitter with me. This is near loveland. It really is gorgeous up and down the front range. A warm morning for you. We will break up the clouds and end up in the mid to upper 70s late this afternoon. We may see a shower. Tomorrow morning, a bit of drizzle, a bit of fog. Not really a big deal. And then we will see clearing it is a oneday cooldown coming up in the planning forecast, we will see what the entire weekend looks like. Marty, thank you for that. State of emergency is still in effect across the carolinas. In the last 24 hours, more than 1500 people have been pulled from rooftops and on top of cars. Some shuttled to safety by boats. Others pushed through the water on their own. To go in there and see everything upsidedown, you the grace of god, you know, i know you can get all of that back. But i dont see how now. 19 people have died in the states. In haiti, the number is up in the hundreds. Nearly 900 people have died. Desperate residents scrambled for aid after matthew tore through the region. They want to bring assistance to 17,000 people there. The money will provide food, clean Drinking Water and shelter. Of its lack of parking are having a hearing with city leaders today. The apartment complex is being built at the corner of 16th and humboldt. Neighbors protested with black balloons at the site on monday. The main issue is the building wont have parking meaning that residents will have to park on an already congested street. Because of this, the city stopped giving permits to smaller buildings but the appeal hearing is at 11 00 this g. Permits does not qualify for that this exact thing. So unfortunately no parking for those tenants at this point. Neighbors are upset. They are. Thats for sure. The baseball playoffs have included some really great games in the divisional series. And one actor has so much pride in his team that he held up a movie premiere to watch his team unfortunately lose. Can you believe which actor loves boston that much . A scary moment after the broncos game when gary kubiak was taken to the hospital now has an explanation. Kubiak went home from the condition. Of course we are learning more about that throughout the morning. Right now we want to go to a developing story. Denver police have arrested a man they say caused a deadly Chain Reaction crash and took off. Christine noel is joining us live on colorado boulevard where the deadly crash happened. Christine, we just heard from police there has been an arrest. Reporter yeah, corey. Just within the past hour we learned that denver Police Arrested the man who was involved in the run last night. They spent 12 hours searching for the man who caused the crash and hopped into a car with another driver and took off. This all happened shortly before 7 00 last night according to denver police. This man was driving a Dodge Challenger. He was speeding southbound down colorado boulevard when it hit a prius and then started a Chain Reaction, hitting two more vehicles. The driver of that prius was killed in the crash. After this collision, the driver got out, ran to the someone who quite possibly didnt know the series of events that unfolded. Until about an hour ago, investigators were still searching for that driver. Denver police say they arrested him near colorado boulevard and i70. We still dont know the identity of that driver or the extent of the charges that he faces. Im sure we will be learning more about that as the days come. All right. Thank you much. All right. To sports now. Making all of us broncos fans so happy this morning. Trevor siemian was throwing at practice on monday. He appears ting too egg to keep his left arm still while throwing with his right. Its great to see him out there smiling. It looks like he is feeling all right. Again, the broncos will play this thursday against the chargers in sunny san diego. And he is expected to start. Expected to start. Will get worse. Im trying. Just saying. 13 innings later, San Francisco giants pull out a stunning come from behind win over the cubs last night. I think this game got over like 1 00 our time. The giants won 65 in San Francisco. But they are still do you understand 21 in down 21 in the National League series. The cubs will try to wrap up this series tonight. In the meantime, American League, the Cleveland Indians wrapped up their series and swept the red sox in three games to move on to the alcs. Last night cleveland beat the sox 43. The indians advance to the American League championship series against the toronto bluejays. I think its been since the 1940s since the indians won a world series. Theyre excited in cleveland. Yeah. Ben affleck loves his boston teams we know that. Enough to show his priorities movie the accountant. He had to stop to check out the store delaying the premiere of his new movie. He told the reporter since the red sox didnt do so well, he will root for the cubs now. Oh. There you go. Switching. Yeah. Switching division loyalties. Switching. When your team is out, its an open field, i guess, at that point. Look at this just phenomena in National Color up and down the front range right no low. Thank you to michael scott. He tweeted that to me a few minutes ago. Temperatures today in the 70s. Strong winds this evening. Drop us into the 30s. And then tomorrow, not much of a rebound with highs only in the mid to upper 50s. Here over the front range. Not particularly wet system. We do have that rain and thunder snow going on in mountain areas right now. That will hang along and west of the divide during the day. For most of the day. Showers around here. If youre lucky enough to get one, were talking about just enough to get the pavement wet. Thank you, marty. 6 47. Up with sky 9 over the fuel spill. Northbound i25 in almeida. It looks like theyre waiting to soak up the fuel, get it into the truck before they can open any lanes. There is a lot of activity. And i25 is northbound down only down to one single lane. Lets head out here. We are clock 59 minutes between the tech center and downtown. And i expect this to grow even more. The backups extend into the dtc. That somebody stretch has a slight curiosity delay as well. Here is a look at the backups. This is the cdot camera heading up to the spill. Backups at emerson, logan, downing. We will talk about colorado, evans and hampton as well. Consider quebec or monaco, 225 up to i70. Additional delays include eastbound 6th avenue with a i said it a few times this morning. Thunder snow in colorados mountain. Especially the elk and west Elk Mountains. It has been active this morning. Everything coming in out of the west which means when it comes downhill here in the front range, it tends to evaporate out. So we dont anticipate much activity for us here during the morning. Developing. They will be very few and very far between. And those folks who do manage to get rain down here on the plains wont get much at all. That leaves us with a day with a good bit of sunshine in the middle of the day with highs in the 70s. 60s in the foothills. We will continue with the i would characterize them as pockets of rain and snow in mountain areas, favoring west and northwest facing slopes. This evening, as cooler air continues to move in out of nebraska and wyoming, we will get a fe here. There wont be much to them. Generally less than a tenth of an inch on the plains. Even less than that on the i25 corridor with some of the best total moisture upwards of a quarter of an inch and around the grand mesa area and the Elk Mountains. 60s today in the mountains. 70s here. About 10 degrees warmer on the southeastern plains. But much cooler right along the nebraskawyoming border. Strong west wind during the day. It keeps you warm. This evening, you will see the shift come out of the north. As that not happens, chilly air dropping in here, dropping us back into the 30s for tomorrow morning at this time. Today, really warm. Partly sunny. One or two tiny, tiny showers. 78 today. Into the 30s tonight. Gets really windy after sunset this evening. Cloudy conditions. A bit of drizzle and fog in the morning. That clears up tomorrow and en all with highs in the 50s. We jump back to the 70s here to start off next week. And we still have a huge mess on i25 northbound almeida. A fuel spill is blocking all lanes with the exception of the far left. Northbound through lane of traffic. The fuel spill you can see at the upper right hand corner of your screen came from the semi truck. That diesel fuel has been there since early in the 5 00 hour. With that in mind, crews before they can reopen any lanes of traffic. Northbound i25 out to the drive times now is over an hour from c470 into the downtown corridor. 65 minutes were talking here. Drive times have now officially tripled from where they were starting off the morning rush. Southbounders are up to 20 minutes. Thats on the light side. We have the curiosity factor as you can see the action across the highway. I have refreshed all of our cameras here. Loaded up new views. This is the northbound stretch leading up backups at emerson, and at hampton further to the south. So officially those delays do begin at hampton. Other issues in the morning drive include the delay across northbound santa fe leading up to 25 itself. 6th avenue theres a crash at sheridan. Backups of 20 minutes coming out of golden have already accumulated behind that backup and crash. Further up to the north, southbound 25 is clear after should be 104th. The southbound wreck is clear. And the drive times from e470 are right around 16 minutes. Good morning. Im Colleen Colleen ferreira. There will be a debate held here tonight. They will debate live on 9 news starting at 7 00 p. M. Tonight on channel 20. There will be no commercial interruptions. We will also be broadcasting 9 news political reporter kyle clark will be moderating the debate. Again it starts at 7 00 p. M. With live coverage. If you know anything about the debates we have done before, kyle and brandon, gary, as you know, both tough but they can be fair. It will be a great debate. I think it will be very good. Again the debate is live on channel 20 at 7 00 tonight. Also watch it on 9news. Com. Kyle clarks show live from the History Colorado Center. Four weeks from today americans will head to the polls and the president ial race is ugly as ever. New poll numbers show that Hillary Clinton has an 11point lead nationally after the tape was released of donald trump commenting on women last week. It has caused a huge rift in the republican party. The party itself is sticking by him. But some Top Republicans like House Speaker paul not. Trump is turning the tables or trying to anyway on Hillary Clintons family. If they want to release more tapes, saying inappropriate things, we will continue to talk about bill and Hillary Clinton doing inappropriate things. He is an equal opportunity insulter if there ever was one. This election is our chance to show who we are. We are better than that. All right. Weeks. Measure 2a is now on the ballot. Something that firefighters have been working hard to do. Talking to residents about what it means for voters for the firefighters and city. The Fire Department just like every department is allotted a specific amount every year. And right now firefighters in westminster dont have a say specifically where the money goes. What they say it boils down to is safety and gear. Who better to ve heard. Like almost everything, there are two sides. There is concern with collective bargaining and the union coming in to have a seat at the table essentially that eventually down the road this will cost the taxpayers money. Up front it has nothing to do with raising taxes. It is important to know what the firefighters in westminster are proposing. It is something that exists in almost every major city and now. We will have more on 7 30 on channel 20. Theres a few things that can be cleaned and saved, but just about everything is gone. State of emergency in effect across the carolinas. More than 1500 people have been pulled from rooftops many fema leaders from across the nation are helping. Crews are coming in as far as pennsylvania and missouri. 19 people have died across four states. 11 in the carolinas. 19 people have died in the states but in haiti, the number is in the hundreds. Nearly 900 people. Desperate residents scrambled after matthew tore through the region.
