presidential debate with but as expected it was a showdown between two. hillary clinton and bernie sanders. front runners further separating themselves from the rest. john yesterday you were telling us at the desk you your expectations for the debate. did the candidates deliver here let's start with hillary clinton. >> i thought she exceeded expectations last night easily she was poised and articulate while some may well have found her too slick and programmed i didn't see a moment where she seemed caught off guard or unprepared. casual observers who have been hearing complaints about secretary clinton's campaign performance so far may come away from last night wondering what the beef was. on the downside her changing positions on issues like the iraq war, the pacific trade deal were highlighted last night and that won't help the negative views some people have of her trustworthy necessary.

>> bernie sanders did he have an effective contrast to hillary last night? >> i really thought he did. if you're an angry voter who liens to the left there was no doubt who was best channeling your views on stage last night. i wasn't surprised to see post debate focus group sanders got high marks for expressing passion and principle. the moment where he dismissed the clinton e-mail story right there that was a nice positive touch for him. it made me wonder if and when he intends to draw sharper comparisons between himself and the frontrunner. at some point you've got to do that. of course cnn talked about this idea they were going to have this virginia podium in case joe biden decided to go running in there. where does that stand now? >> nothing new today on that from the vice-president. just a statement that he was quote proud of the candidates last night, but keep in mind, the rational for late entry by baden was to fill a void left by the implosion of the clinton campaign after last fight that

seems unlikely to happen and that could pretty much keep biden on the sidelines. you never know with joe. >> she was strong enough last night maybe he says it's not for me. >> it's going to be a tougher slough than it might have been otherwise. >> appreciate it. twitter erupted during last night's debate people showing support for all the candidates. some of the tweets meant for one candidate in particular caught our eye. >> that's right david. this is democratic presidential candidate martino mally. and matt o'malley politicians with similar names. some even tweeted the boston city council or megan wright bernie sanders seems more energetic than matt o'malley democrat debate. boston city council or took it all in stride he had fun with that comment. he wrote back to megan of course he's more energetic i'm sitting on my couch watching the debate.

his life. found unconscious tuesday by two prostitutes at a nevada brothel. >> they saw him at 6:00 this morning he was fine. he was going to sleep, and then at 3:30 this afternoon they went to check on him and he was unconscious. reporter: dennis off is the owner of the love ranch a legal brothel. he said odom had been there since saturday and had been drinking cognac and using herbal viagra. >> we called 191-6789 they said roll him's his left side reporter: then a complication trying to ghetto domestic to the hospital. >> they said that he was in bad shape. they thought he might not make it and they were going to air flight him to las vegas. but he didn't fit in the helicopter. reporter: the 6'10", former nba forward had to be driven 60 miles by ambulance. odom was married to reality star chloe kardashian for four years. they were in the midst of a

battling substance abuse issues for years. his trainer says odom was trying to make a comeback. >> he was down 35 pounds since started june 1. he was down 5 pounds. reporter: odom remains in critical condition at the sunrise hospital in las vegas. his former teammate by the way kobe bryant rushed to las vegas last fight to be by odom's side. >> these early reports that odom was taking herbal viagra bringing up questions about the supplement's safety. viagra the real thing is a prescription drug that's commonly used for erectile dysfunction in men but these herbal viagra products are cheaper version without a prescription. while these products may contain the active ingredient they are often being shipped from overseas could be tainted with gems and pesticides and other medications.

shouldn't be taking viagra in the first place which is why it only should be prescribed by a doctor. for example, in some men who are taking certain heart medications taking viagra can cause dangerously low blood pressure. so really nobody should be taking these things without the supervision of a doctor. >> what does the fda say. >> the fda does not regulate herbal supplements like medications. they came out with two warnings. they say consumers should not buy them. should be wary of a supplement marketed through massey mails if it's in a foreign language that claims to treat a medical condition in this case claims to enhance sexual performance stay away from them. >> thank you doctor appreciate it. taking a live look outside at the skyline in boston another beautiful fall evening. but things are going to change. >> we've been talking about it a lot. the drop in temperature, for whatever reason it seems like

we're quite frightened by the idea of going into the 40s. >> i don't know why. we have emotional scars from last cold season. >> no. >> certainly it's good wood chopping weather if you're getting ready for a fireplace in the weekend where temperatures drop. 66 degrees in the city dew point much lower than what we saw yesterday. it was very humid outside yesterday when that front moved through brought in drier air overnight. 5 degrees the cool spot in worcester. a little cooler still off to the north and west. that is the theme for this week each day just a little bit of progressive change eventually we bottom out on sunday. clouds are in that cold pool of air across the northeast. they dissipate through the overnight hours. we'll see the starlight overnight. tomorrow really a great day to be outdoors. lot of sunshine. some clouds will start to move their way in as we head toward the evening but not many of them. certainly a great october day. it's friday, but the next cold front starts to approach. brings with it a few scattered showers throughout the day on friday.

colors we don't like barney colors around here. it's going to be a very chilly sunday afternoon and it should bring in our first freeze of the season. maybe getting down to 32 degrees in the city of boston. would that be unusual, no not particularly. the earliest on record is october 5th. so we'll be west past that. on average it's november 4th. there can be a big change on either side of it. there is a chance we might stay at 33, 34 degrees in downtown boston. we'll be quite chilly and many have not seen a frost yet. if we get it on the 19th, which would be monday morning that would be very late. a nice long growing season at the tail end of. accuweather 7-day. 50s on saturday with showers, sunday 40ed and a gusty northwest wind coldest morning is monday morning just a sign the season is starting to change. >> that's right. we'll feel it. all right eric thanks. boeing may soon be traveling even lighter. the company says it has created the lightest metal ever made of 99.99% air.
