when i listen to families across new hampshire, all i hear is that washington is locked into a system where the special interests come before people. where drug company profits come before affordable medicine, the koch brothers and big oil come before clean energy, and powerful corporations

i'm maggie hassan. washington won't change overnight. but sending a new senator who puts your priorities ahead of special interests can make a difference. and that's why i approve this message. i spent many years as a nuclear missile launch officer. can make a difference. if the president gave the order we had to launch the missiles, that would be it. i prayed that call would never come. [ radio chatter ] self control may be all that keeps these missiles from firing.

thoughts on term limits. >> my position hasn't changed. i think you need new blood. people don't expect that you're going to serve for 20 or 30 years, particularly in the same position. so you do want, i think, some new ideas, new energy. josh: just a few of the questions on the minds of voters as the countdown continues to election day. josh mcelveen, wmur news 9. tom: a glorious weekend ahead but some cold mornings. mike yes, especially tomorrow morning, we've got the coldest of the and then a big jump that occurs next week. jennifer: now to our u local hot shot, the cog railway offering some beautiful views including snow-capped mount washington right there in the background. beautiful. you can submit your pictures and video and join the thousands of

those temperatures starting sunday. look at the warmth building in the nations my section. it turns warmer in parts of the rockies, denver of all places sitting at 81 degrees. and can't rule out if everything works out just so with enough sun, sometime during the middle of next week tuesday or wednesday, we could make a run close to 80 degrees. fair skies tonight, a little valley fog later on, but the big key here will be the temperatures that drop back below freezing. so a saturday. by sunday a few changes, the next front draws near. so a blend of sun and clouds during the midday and afternoon after a sunny start. then very late in the afternoon a couple of these showers in upstate new york may clip northern parts of the state. and everyonees will have to wait until the evening or overnight to get in on a passing shower. highs tomorrow very close to where they were today, but the winds not as strong, so it will

afternoon. after that very cold start. much warmer as we go into sunday, a cool start, in the 30's in many spots. but 60's to around 70. then it gets even warmer next week, on average low 70's with a blend of sun and clouds on monday, could be a shower up north on tuesday, but mid to upper 70's. if it all works out we could see a couple spots touching near 80. still quite warm on wednesday, then it does turn tom: okay, we'll enjoy it while we can. >> friday night football, let's take a live look at kearsarge regional where we'll be talking regional where we'll be talking live with the monadnock coach ? ? on social security and medicare, regional where we'll be talking live with the monadnock coach these are the facts. kelly ayotte voted for deep cuts in medicare and social security. here are the votes.

kelly ayotte: let's be honest - both donald trump and hillary clinton are far from perfect... and i'm not perfect either. but when partisan politicians shut down the government, i led the fight to reopen it. i've worked to find solutions to new hampshire's heroin epidemic. protect new hampshire's clean air and clean water. i've been called a problem solver by independent groups, and ranked as one of the most bipartisan senators. i'm kelly ayotte - and i approve this message, because whether i'm working with republicans, democrats, or independents, i'm standing up for new hampshire. it's a great view from the top. just ask chris sununu. chris inherited a famous name and was given the top job at his family's resort,

to avoid giving them health insurance. so it's no surprise chris opposes the minimum wage because he never had to work for anything. chris sununu has no business being governor. this advertisement has been paid for by put new hampshire first and has not been authorized by any candidate. i'm maggie hassan, and i approve this message. nothing matters more than our security. that's why i hired more state troopers... and strengthened plans for school safety. support aggressive action to destroy isis...

i think he's maybe a little bit of a rebuild year, but they've done such an incredible job of taking this young team and making them into a contend they're it going to be a handful. >> you've scored 199 points in five games, you've only allowed 12. how is this team so dominating? >> well, you know, i think that we have good upper class leadership definitely. we've got a lot of seniors front. our runningbacks are seniors, and we're a little on the experienced side. so that certainly helps, they've been in and around the program for four years and they don't need as much instruction as years past. >> to win a championship i need talent, you need kid that work hard, but you also need really terrific kid. do you have that this year? >> oh, we have that for sure. these guys are a real thrill to be at with practice.

they are good human beings, they are good in school, they're good in the hallways, they're very respectful kids. i really enjoy these guys. jamie: all right, good luck tonight. we'll have highlight from your team tonight at 11:00. two more high school football games tomorrow will be new hampshire tackles collection sites, campbell high school at 7:00, mascomo valley at 1:30, if you go to that game and you do bring a food donation you'll get in for free. tonight it's the manchester monarchs turn, they kick off their 16th season at home against the adirondack thunder. coach sealy back for his second season behind the bench. >> we're pretty familiar with each other from obviously playoffs and playing around 15, 16 times a year. they're a hard working well coached hockey club, they'll be disciplined, they'll have their systems down and should make for a competitive game. jamie: game two of the season

tonight. tomorrow they play at clarkson. college football, st. anselm plays tonight at assumption, u.n.h. is home tomorrow at noon. dart myth plays at home and plymouth state on the road. if you're watching football tomorrow on channel 9, just zero in on the 8:00 game, top 10 matchup in the big 10, should be awesome. tom: a clever way to clear your lawn of leaves, a cardboard trick that can save you both time and jennifer: and how to boost your energy after lunch, we have the tips to help you beat the afternoon slump. tom: go rake some leaves. tune in for "new hampshire chronicle" and we'll see you back here tonight after "20/20.

it's not uncommon for autistic kids to flap their hands. and so when i saw that, that was completely disqualifying. i'm a republican, but this election is so much bigger than party. my son max can't live in trump world. so i'm crossing party lines and voting for hillary. i don't always agree with her, but she's reasonable. and she's smart. she can work with people to solve problems. i want to be able to tell my kids that i did the right thing when it really mattered.

bob hillery: i spent 21 years in the navy, defending america. if i only showed up half the time, i'd have been court-martialed. but that's what senator kelly ayotte did. she missed nearly half of her homeland security hearings. vo: on critical homeland security hearings, ayotte was mia... even missing a hearing the same day she went to a washington fundraiser. for ayotte, collecting campaign cash comes first. bob hillery: when it comes to fighting terrorism, 50% just doesn't cut it. vo: senate majority pac is responsible for the
