When americans go to the poll tuesday to elect a new congress. This has been a wild, and in some cases down right weird year on the campaign trail. Lots of close races and colorful candidates. Were going to take a look now some of the best moments, mr. George stephanopoulos. Start in iowa where both candidates in the really hotly contested senate race made waves. Thats joni ernst who went viral with this ad where she discusses her history of kas straiting hogs on the family farm. And the democratic side, bruce braley, the congressman. There he is. He had a mishap when the First Lady Michelle Obama came to town and couldnt pronounce his name. Bear in mind as you watch this clip that his name is braley. We need to elect bruce bailey. Bruce bailey. Vote. Brucebailey. Com. Thats vote. Brucebailey. Com. Or even better, you can braley, what did i say . She pounded that into the ground. This is a race where you can say the candidates and the campaigns really mattered. Joni ernst ran a Pitch Perfect campaign. Bruce braley, that was the first ladys missteps. He had missteps along the campaign trail. There was a Des Moines Register poll out last night showing her with a sevenpoint lead. This is a crucial race. If she wins, the republicans will be able to take the senate. Thats what the democratic leader, harry reid, said this week. Thats the key dynamic. Can the republicans take the u. S. Senate . And the number to watch is six. They need six seats to take the senate. Lets talk about another senate race and a moment that may be more awkward. This is in the debate between the candidates between pat roberts, the incumbent, and his challenger, the independent greg orman. They were asked whether they could Say Something nice about one another. Check it out. Lets start with you, mr. Orman. What can you say nice . I appreciate senator roberts service to your country. Every time ive had an opportunity to talk privately, hes been a gentleman with a great sense of humor. Thank you, sir. Senator roberts. I would say that you are a very welldressed opponent. I admire your accumulation of wealth. I think they got to abolish this question in debates. But this is an important race, dan. Greg orman, independent, came on like fire. Its a neckandneck race. Could be a loss for the republicans. But orman has not said who he will caucus with if he wins. The democrats and the republicans, the democrats hoping he will stay with them. Created a little bit of an air of mystery. George will have much more on a special your voice your vote edition of this week. With the Republican National Committee Chair reince priebus. And the democratic National Committee chair, Debbie Wasserman schultz. And leading the team tuesday for the full action coverage online all night and the primetime special at 10 00 p. M.

Hi, good morning, everyone. Begin with a massive and deadly fire in maine, killed five people and left another person severely burned. A Halloween Party in portland near the campus of the university of Southern Maine ended with this enormous fire early saturday that completely torched the house. One neighbor saw a man in flames fleeing the burning building. I saw the porch engulfed with like a plume of red flame, orange flame. And then i saw a man run out. And he was engulfed in flames and he rolled on to the ground. Nine people did manage to get out of that house alive. The cause is under investigation. Officials are trying to determine if any of the victims were college students. And the internal investigation into how alleged white house fence jumper Omar Gonzalez managed to get in the executive mansion, that is now complete. The report by the department of Homeland Security cites multiple layers of security failures. And particular aim on the canine unit on the lawn. No dogs were released in the september incident where gonzalez allegedly made it to the east wing of the white house. In stark contrast to last month when the intruder that was immediately tackled by two dogs soon after he allegedly jumped the fence. And the doctor battling ebola in new york city has been upgraded. He is in stable condition. Dr. Craig spencer has been undergoing treatment since he was diagnosed a week ago. His case made a mandatory quarantine to those exposed to ebola in west africa.

The inching river of fire burned a shed and toppled trees, threatening several homes. Meanwhile, two hawaii residents have been arrested for trespassing to go see the lava. And an alarming new report from a United Nations panel on climate change. Scientists i say that the earth is locked now in an irreverseble course of Global Warming due to buildup of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere. They warned of everworsening extreme weather and rising sea levels for centuries to come even if they are drastically cut right now. And in florida, the manhunt for an escaped prisoner. Ronald mccoy is serving a life sentence for armed robbery. He managed to get out of the decade correctal institution south of miami. He was gone during an inmate count. He has family in tampa and may be headed there. Although i guess not if hes watching this show. And finally, talk about bitter football rivals. Take a look at this from the maryland penn state game on saturday. After the coin toss, the three cocaptains refused to shake hands. That classy move got them a 15yard unsportsmanlike penalty. And tempers boiled over. Maryland won 2019. Afterwards School Officials apologized to penn state for the captains refusing to shake hands. Big reaction on social media. One guy on social media tweeted, is this the big ten or the act like ten . Really. Classless move there. Absolutely. At the beginning of that game. Not a good example either. No. And they won the game. I want to shake your hand for that newscast. I want to shake your hand for shaking my hand. This could get circular. Thank you, ron. End it right there. Thank you for thanking me. And the heartwarming reunion many have been waiting for. The ebolafree texas nurse and her cute and cuddly pooch are back together. And judging by all those hugs and kisses they clearly missed one another. And the wagging tail. And tom llamas is here to tell us about it. Reporter good morning.

Doctors initially fearing bentley could also be infected. Its like christmas. Literally. Its a joyous occasion. Reporter bentley immediately quarantined by the state after pham contracted ebola while caring for Thomas Eric Duncan at texas Presbyterian Hospital in dallas, texas. Pham sent to maryland for treatment. Her dog cared for in the lonestar state, tested negative for ebola. I was frightened i would not know what would happen to one of my best friends. Reporter workers exercising extreme caution, tending to bentley for weeks in hazmat suits. Using gloves to feed him and playing with the up from behind a mask. Saturday the state releasing phams precious pet after nearly a month of care. The 1yearold cavalier king charles spaniel, pampered like royalty. Washed, brushed, and, yes, even fluffed just before his release. Youre the best boy. Hes a wonderful patient. We were able to observe him in his activities as well as doing his daily jobs. Reporter the duo ripped apart by a deadly virus. Reunited by the help of hundreds and ready to return to life together. Just one step closer to me feeling whole again. Having my best friend back.

As shakespeare so profoundly asked, whats in a name . Possibly a lot of zeros if youre in the market to play the game all for a good cause. Check out this little guy born at the dallas zoo. He doesnt have a name yet. Why . The rights to pick his moniker has been bought by an unnamed source. Stadiums have long sold off naming rights to willing investors. Remember the Boston Garden . Its now td garden. And a man in england is using ebay to figure out which Manchester Team his son should root for. Never before has the zoo sold the rights to name one of its newborns. We are waiting to find out the name. The winner paid 50,000 to name it whatever he likes. As we wait patiently, what we do know is a corporation didnt buy it. So dont expect to see a giraffe with a logo on its back any time soon. And as for all that money, according to the zoos twitter account, its going to a good cause. The wildlife conservation. Now i think whoever names him better get really creative if you paid 50,000. What about stretch . I like that. No, thats not great. Predictable, dan. I expected more from you. Maybe we should call george. Wow. That was wellplayed. Look at that. Oh, sara, the moves this morning. You know what . One should just be quiet when one has been served like that. Thank you, sara.

Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. All right, coming up on gma.
