of attacking the administration on more of foreign policy and let mitt romney and paul ryan focus more on economic matters. the polls still the same. an edge to the president ever so slightly in most of those 10 swing states. >> thank you. you can find a link to jamie washington insider log on our website at ktvu.com. pull down the news menu bar and go to our politics page. sal is back to tell you about our morning rush. it is rush. >> it is rush. let's take a look at what we have now. this is 880. it has been a mess from downtown oakland. this is the unexpected delay that catches people off guard heading to the airport at oakland. you need to negotiate more time. you need to give yourself more time to negotiate interstate 880 because of a crash at 880 northbound at
