But as our Fact Checkers found out. Not everything each candidate said was true. Lets take a couple of those on, right now. Starting with Donald Trumps claim that Hillary Clintons Campaign Manager originally pushed the birther rumors that president obama was born in kenya. Our factcheckers across the country found an interivew with that manager who says a person who worked with the campaign in iowa in 2007 forwarded an email on it. And was let go.

Of the san juans might get a sprinkle. The rest of us are dry. Slightly warmer than it was yesterday at this time. 30s and 40s on the plains, 40s and 50s around the metro area. So a nice start the to the day. We move into the 60s very quickly this morning and top out in the low 80s with sunshine today.
