my opponent -- and that's not the example we should be showing our children and certainly not in our schools. and don't misquote me as wanting to hurt homosexual people in any way. that would be a dastardly lie. my approach is live and. i think my children and your children would be better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family. i don't want them to be brainwashed into thinking homosexually is an -- >> mark, you heard and saw that pause in there. what was left out, this was on the transcript, but he didn't say it. there is nothing to be proud of being a dysfunctional homosexual. he skipped over that part. he's infamous for those other controversial remarks. what do you think about this? how will republicans and he, he and republicans react? >> well, twofold again.

the new york governor's race, he's trailing in the polls badly to the democrat cuomo up there, andrew cuomo up there. this couldn't come at a worst time for him to say something, and he said it, he had remarks typed out. it's not something he said off the cuff. the police arrested an eighth suspect up in new york for hate crimes against four gentlemen. so this is how it's going to play tomorrow. the tabloids are going to go very big with it in new york. we've seen it on their websites. daily news and new york post are playing this story up big. republicans don't want to have to defend paladino for these remarks. his campaign says this equivalent equivalent to the teachings of the catholic church. however, given the timing right now, given fact he actually t e

typed these remarks out is not a good thing for republicans. don, i've been e-mailing back and forth with representative of a gay republican organization, gay conservative organization. this is what they tell me. carl paladino's comments would matter if they were coming from a serious political figure, however, they are not. they are instead coming from an imploding campaign of a man with a personal from gop prada, a conservative organization. expect to see more statements like that in the next 24 hours. i believe they will be condemning mr. palladino. >> that's what we'll talking about tomorrow. thank you very much, mark preston and don't go anywhere. our political coverage is just getting started up. coming up, my conversation with democratic governor ed rendell. he spoke today just before president obama and then he spoke with cnn. plus, i'll talk with our very own wolf blitzer. he'll preview this week's delaware senate debate. he's co-moderating the showdown which will air right here on cnn. wolf joins me in just a few minutes so please stick around. now the latest on the mass overdose at a college party in central washington. all but one of those who got

sick were young women, and police say it appears they were targeted. police responding to the off-campus party near central washington university, arrived to a scene of chaos. we've got the details now from ted rowlands >> reporter: party was thrown by a college freshman here at a second own owned by his parents according to police. 11 of the 12 victims were girls. all of that were between the ages of 18 and 21. students at the party say it was clear something was wrong. >> everything was going fine. the music was playing and people were having fun and all of a sudden all the girls were puking everywhere. girls were outside like on their back, and the people were so drunk they didn't know what to do. >> reporter: police believe the victims were drugged without their knowledge. >> they were saying don't drink out of the red cups. don't drink out of red cups and i know i had saw someone drink out of red cup. i took one sip of it and i immediately threw up without a single drink.

that's how powerful it was. >> reporter: for police the night started in this grocery store parking lot. a girl was unconscious in a car. officers traced her condition back to the party. they had to break down the door because nobody would answer. >> i would hate to think what would occur had there been another 15 or 20 minutes that passed. >> reporter: police detained a man having sex with a semi-conscious female. he was released after it was determined that the two were dating and the man may still face charges. blood and urine samples have been taken from the victims in an effort to figure out exactly what they consumed. police plan to interview everybody who attended this party to try to figure out who drugged the students. >> all right, ted, thank you. we go to chile now where the 33 trapped miners could finally surface this week. crews are link the first 100 yards of the rescue tunnel with steel tubing, and cnn's patrick oppman is near the site to walk us through the steps. patrick. >> reporter: the pace remains

full speed ahead at the san jose mine. officials monday, steel casing will be in place for the newly drilled mine shaft, and by wednesday the rescue operation will be under way. that rescue operation will kick off once a navy paramedic and mine rescue expert are lowered down the hole. it will being ascending up the miners one at a time to the rescue capsule. it will not be a pleasant ride. the miners will soon on a liquid diet to combat any nashua, and if there are any problems they have an escape hatch and a live video feed will monitor them to the surface. one problem that's already coming up is who goes first. many miners told officials they want to be at end of the line to allow their fellow miners an earlier taste of freedom. don? >> patrick, thank you very much. in other news, a massive military parade marks a major anniversary with north korea, and in a rare most country's leader kim jong-il attends with his youngest sone.

[ female announcer ] swiffer gives cleaning a fresh new meaning. u.s. relations with north korea may be about to get more complicated and perhaps even more dangerous. leader kim jong-il made clear this weekend he wants his youngest son to be his successor. there was no official announcement. instead, the message was conveyed through the symbolism of a massive public spectacle. cnn's alina cho was invited into north korea to witness it. >> reporter: we are in the center of kim il sung square named for the founder of north korea, and what you are witnessing right here behind me is what's being billed as

largest military parade in that country's history. it is officially the 65th anniversary of the founding of the ruling workers' party of north korea. it is also a national holiday, but in effect what this really is an elaborate coming-out party for the man, the heir apparent, the man who will become the next leader of north korea, kim jong-un. he's young son of the ailing leader, kim jong-il. a little about what is happening today. security is incredibly tight. there were numerous checkpoints. even our government minders were checked, and just to give you an idea, don, my notebook and pen were checked. security is tight. you're not allowed into this square without an invitation from the government, but having said that, this is an extraordinary sight here in pyongyang. there is no other way to describe it. some 100,000 people, members of the elite north korean society

are here. as well, there is an international delegation, and it is extraordinary to see some of the western faces in the crowd as well, but most important the two most important guests here today, don, are kim jong-il, the leader of north korea and his son, the heir apparent who are just to my right and above me here in kim il sung square. just an extraordinary sight here in pyongyang today. >> thank you, alina. no one had heard of kim jong-un until a couple weeks ago. earlier i spoke with north korea expert gordon chang about who he is. >> he likes a lot of things western. he was educated in a swiss school but really the most important thing is that he is as ruthless and as calculating as his father, the current leader of north korea. he's one who got the dictator gene. >> is that the reason for him and not his two older brothers? >> well, they went through the

two older brothers who for various reasons failed the test. kim jong nom, the eldest son, got caught trying to get into japan on a false dominican passport. that sort of ruled him out. kim jong choel, the youngest son is a little bit effeminate and then he had his moment in the sun he didn't last very long. there are factions within the regime supporting all three kids and apparently the won supporting the younger one has won out. >> someone educated in the west and familiar with western culture, should we expect that he'll be a different kind of leader than his father? >> absolutely not. his father is also -- loves basketball, idolizes michael jordan, you know, watches all sorts of western miles but he's like one of the worst dictators ever. the problem for kim jong-un is that there is a system in north korea. there's a regime. he's very young, and he's going to have very little influence over the nature of the regime and what it does for a very long

time. he very well may not survive because there's so many people who want to be sitting on the throne instead of him. you know, i don't think that he has a very long life span. >> so how are north koreans reacting to the sudden appointing of this heir apparent? >> well, you know, in the official media there's just joy and jubilation and everyone is so happy to be ruled by a third generation kim, but as we saw in the beginning of december of last year, there were protests and riots and demonstrations across the country because of botched currency reform, and there's basically people do not like kim jong-il at this point, so they are not going to like kim jong-il's son, and he's going to have to overcome this because although kim jong-un will have the support of the regime or at least some elements of it, he certainly doesn't have the support of the people. >> gordon, thank you. >> thank you. up next tonight on cnn, no toy in a kids' meal unless it's healthy and three mortgage firms halting foreclosures in some

the nation is trying to get past its foreclosure crisis, but it's tough to do when shoddy paperwork is apparently grinding the process to a halt. several major banks have stopped foreclosure sales because of it. still, a senior white house adviser today said the president will not press banks to freeze all foreclosures. >> we are concerned. we're working with these institutions. i'm not sure about a national moratorium because there are in fact valid foreclosures that probably should go forward. >> so to give us the full perspective on this papework program we're joined by a senior writer for cnnmoney.com. tammy, welcome. david axelrod just mentioned some foreclosures he said may be valid, but why wouldn't the president want to stop all of them to make sure that everything is above board in all cases? >> sure. well, it's not healthy for the nation or for the housing market for foreclosures to stop. we have a lot of inventory out there. foreclosures are very popular, and we need to get this inventory out of the way for housing prices to stabilize and

for banks to start making new loans again. also, people don't want foreclosed properties on their block. they are boarded up. they are vacant. they are ugly, so we want foreclosures to continue. we want foreclosures and foreclosure sales to continue. >> listen, the country has been in foreclosure trouble for three years now. why is this all happening now? >> well, a couple of weeks ago three banks announced that they were going to stop the foreclosure proceedings in the 23 states that courts have to approve the foreclosures in, so then on friday bank of america came out and said that it was going to stop foreclosure sales in all 50 states which set off a firestorm. >> tammy, give us perspective. how big a deal is this? >> right, it's still a little too early to tell. attorneys general are starting to investigate for fraud. politicians are calling for the bank's heads, but the bottom line is, if you haven't paid your mortgage, you can't stay in your home so there may be some instances where the foreclosure

proceedings were improper and people will get to stay in their homes, but for most people this is just going to delay the process by a couple of weeks or a couple of months, but ultimately it's not going to change the outcome. >> tammy, for people who bought foreclosed properties, should they worry that they may have to give back their investments? >> that doesn't seem very likely. i mean, if there was a foreclosure that was truly improper, the original home owner may be compensated for the sale, but it would be hard to believe that they are going to evict the new buyers. >> thanks for helping us through this, a senior write we are cnnmoney.com. appreciate it. from middle class spending cuts to holiday shopping, to toyless kids' meals. here's carter evans with this week's "getting down to business." >> it looks like some americans just had their thriftiest year on record. that's according to a new report from the labor department. in 2009 middle class households cut spending by about 3.5%.

that's the steepest one-year drop since tracking began back in 1984. but even their income declined spending by the poorest americans rose by some 5.6%, between 2007 and 2009, and that's due in part to higher food and housing rental costs. we're going to find out more from the consumer price index report that comes out on friday. meanwhile, stores are hoping that shoppers decide to loosen their purse strings that holiday season. a new study by the national retail federation estimates that sales will increase about 2.3% this year by buyers are still concerned about the health of the economy, so expect bargains to abound. the latest retail sales numbers come out this week. finally, some sad news for happy meals in this city by the bay. soon it could be illegal in san francisco for kids' meals to include toys unless they meet certain health criteria. the city board is expected to vote on legislation in the coming weeks. that's this week's "getting down to business." i'm carter evans for cnn in new york.

as we mentioned earlier, president obama tried to pump up the democratic base at a rally in pennsylvania. a state where his party could lose a number of seats in the mid terms. pennsylvania's top democrat ed rendell also spoke at today's rally. he is leaving office because of term limits but he still has a lot of advice for getting voters out to the polls. >> when there's a bad economy, people just tend to reflexively blame those people who are in power, so it's important to focus even in this state and we're not really a blue state. we've had a republican legislature for a long time. we're more of a purple state than a blue or red, but it's very important for the president to talk to our base. i said to the crowd today,

financial reform. democrats supported it. republicans were with the same people who brought us to the brink of economic disaster. student loans. the democrats and the president got rid of $60 billion that was going to companies -- >> mr. rendell, with all due respect, you mention all of that and also with health care, i see the ads in my state and actually republicans are voting or at least campaigning against that saying that those wins, that the democrats have gotten, the president has gotten, they are using that as are a negative in campaigns, and you're saying that the democrats should be touting that. >> certainly when we talk to our base, no question about it, because our base has to understand that there have been some real achievements. you look at seven things that have gone into effect in the health care bill today already. not one of them people object. i just give you one. no longer can children 25 years of age or under be denied coverage for pre-existing illnesses. well, everyone agrees with that. when i said it on bill o'reilly's show he said that's a good point and he doesn't like the health care bill. >> why aren't democrats running on that? why is the president so unpopular?

why isn't the president talking about that when he goes out or at least a lot when he goes out on the campaign trail? why aren't democrats campaigning at least on health care if it is such a positive for the party? >> because, of course, in the spin war over the last two years, health care got a bad name, and they got it because people don't understand it. when you break the health care bill down in its components and when you tell people that the cbo says over the next 20 years it's going to cut the deficit by $1 trillion, all of a sudden people say, wow, i didn't know, that and yeah, you're right. seniors are getting money back to fill the doughnut hole and small businesses are getting a 35% tax credit. wow. that's amazing, and high risk pools are giving people coverage who might otherwise die. yeah, it sounds pretty good to me. you mean, they can't cap us for expenses in a year, can't drop us off health care because we're sick. boy, those are great. we haven't done a good job of explaining it.

>> governor ed rendell, thank you. you know it's going to be a big week in politics, and our wolf blitzer is going to be here with a preview for you. it's a race against the clock in hungary right now where another wave of toxic sludge is threatening an already devastated area. we'll look at what's causing the problem and what's being done to fix it soon. they're discovering simponi®, the first self-injectable r.a. medicine you take just once a month. taken with methotrexate, simponi® helps relieve the pain, stiffness and swelling of r.a. with one dose once a month. visit 4simponi.com to see if you qualify for a full year of cost support. simponi® can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious and sometimes fatal events can occur, such as infections, cancer in children and adults, heart failure, nervous system disorders, liver or blood problems, and allergic reactions. before starting simponi®, your doctor should test you for t.b. and assess your risk of infections, including fungal infections and hepatitis b.

you know, this pressure-packed political season is not without its lighter moments. delaware senate hopeful christine o'donnell has provided plenty of laughs. thanks to her past statements on a decade-old comedy talk show, and this weekend "saturday night live" isn't letting anyone forget that she once admitted dabbling in witchcraft. >> i'm you, and just like you, i have to constantly deny that i'm a witch. isn't that what the people of delaware deserve, a candidate who promises first and foremost that she's not a witch? >> okay. so all jokes aside, christine o'donnell is the republican nominee for the u.s. senate, and she is taking part in a debate on wednesday evening right here on cnn.

our very own wolf blitzer co-moderator of that event. he joins us now. wolf, good evening, first of all. what are you expecting at this debate this two week? these two candidates have very different political styles. >> different styles. i think will be a lively informative debate and i want to be sure during the course of 90 minutes, no commercial interruption, we'll go through all the major issues. issues number one, of course, being the economy, jobs, taxes what, to do about the current situation and we'll press them on all of these issues, both the republican nominee, christine o'donnell and the democratic nominee chris coons. i don't want to neglect other important issues, national security issues, whether the wars in iraq and afghanistan, what to do with iran, north korea, these are critical issues as well, and i think both of these candidates should be prepared to discuss all of these important issues because i think the voters of delaware and the voters across the country will be interested to hear what they say. everybody seems to be caught up in what she said many years ago

about, you know, what she said recently and also what she said many years ago about being attracted to witchcraft or whatever, but there are important substantive issues right now that the people of delaware have a right to know where these two candidates stand and i want to make sure we get through that. >> the president was in the neighboring state. he was in pennsylvania today so, you know, explain to our viewers who don't live in delaware why this race is so important to everyone nationally. >> because right now the republicans have 41 seats, the democrats -- the democratic caucus has 59, two independents who caucus with the democrats. the key number in the senate is 60. as you know, if the democrats have 60, then they can break filibusters more easily, assuming there are no democratic defections. the republicans need ten seats in order to become the majority, and they are close. they are not there by any means, but they are close, and if they can pick up delaware, which is obviously problematic for

christine o'donnell and the republicans but not necessarily, you know, outside the realm of possibility. she beat mike castle who was a shoo-in supposedly for the republican nomination, the longtime congressman from delaware, if she can beat chris coons on november 2nd, that's an important seat in terms of the balance of power in the senate, and it will have national ramification. >> here's what i'm wondering, wolf. you see "saturday night live" and other shows, you know, making fun of christine o'donnell saying years ago she dabbled in witchcraft and everyone is thinking, oh, my god, this is bad press. she should be embarrassed about it. this could be giving her a boost. >> there could be a whole movement, you know, saying the national news media, they are liberal. they are having, you know, a field day with this woman, and she may be getting some support. look, she spent ten minutes in an interview earlier in the week here on cnn with jim acosta. he asked, you know, some pointed, tough, serious questions, and she answered them. she -- she's -- this lady is by no means an idiot or anything like that. it's going to be a tough, you know, debate, and i'm going to make sure that we go through all

the issues and give both of these candidates a chance to respond, but, you know, let's see how she does and let's see how chris coons does. i think the voters of delaware are going to be informed. >> and wolf, it's a very big week coming up for you, so i appreciate you taking the time tonight. >> always my pleasure, don. >> you heard what wolf said. you don't want to miss this. washing christine o'donnell go toe-to-toe with democratic candidate chris coons at the delaware senate debate. wolf blitzer will be the co-moderator of this political showdown live on cnn, 7:30 p.m. eastern. tune into that. you know, christine o'donnell is one of the big stories of this year's political season, and she's been a hot topic for the hosts of cnn's newest program, "parker/spitzer." >> i think when we look at substance what have she says here, a lot of people are going to say we know what we're not so sure she's ready for the senate. >> i feel for the girl a little bit. a sweet girl when she was on the bill maher show and if you look

at some of those tapes she had a lot of personality, spunky and cute and just saying things i don't think she intended to be taken terribly seriously and that's taken a life of its own. >> that is not only fair to her but accurate and i defended her with that crazy ad i'm not a watch because she's trying to defuse a tough situation and then as you step back and get closer to november 2nd and say wait a minute, there are some serious issues here. >> sure. >> i don't think she passes the threshold. >> a lot of people cute and spunky that i don't want running the country. >> for more opinions and analysis don't miss cnn's newest show called "parker/spitzer" weeknights at 8:00 p.m. eastern. some say the churches are among the most segregated places in the country. many african-americans say it's one of the few places they can still call their own. we'll tell but a california church that's questioning why there's little integration. and afghan president hamid karzai reacts to allegations that he is manic depressive.
