6:03 pm
men have tended to support democrats. now president obama and his wife hope to use that to win on health care. first lady michelle obama urged women's groups in washington to mobilize like never before to fight for health care reform. >> it is very much a women's issue. >> reporter: she said women work more part time and low-wage jobs, so their medical coverage tends to be worse than men's. >> we have to reform the system. the status quo is unacceptable. it is holding women andamilies back. we know it. >> reporter: across town at the value voters conference, conservatives said they, too, want reform. >> that lowers the cost of health insurance for working families and small businesses, but the american people don't want a government-run insurance plan paid for with billions of dollars of taxes. >> reporter: conservative mike huckabee said before there is health care reform, americans ought to get more exercise and the like. >> simply covering more people
6:04 pm
only exacerbates the problem by making it so more people will be encouraged to live unhealthy lifestyles. >> reporter: many of the value voters call barack obama a socialist. moderate republican senator olympia snowe does not. >> i don't. in fact, i almost sense the opposite. he's been very realistic in s views on health care. >> reporter: democrats hope snowe will vote with them. she might if there is a change in the fines for people who refuse to get health insurance. >> if there is a penalty, i would like to pay it for coverage than a penalty. >> reporter: many mocrats want changes. besides the fines and penalties, another issue is a proposed tax on high-cost medical plans. some democrats say they don't want people with great coverage now to be penalized so that other people can get coverage.

6:42 pm
the temperatures on pluto only go down to as much as minus 230 degrees celsius. japan's unmanned space freighter is docked at the international space station. it took the freighter only a week to get there. an astronaut onboard took these pictures using a robotic arm. the freighter can haul up to six tons of food and supplies needed at the station. eventually the unmanned freighter will become the main transport vehicle when nasa retires the u.s. space shuttle fleet next year. we are getting a look at what could be one of the most valuable pieces of art in the world. this is "portrait of a man half length with his arms akimbo." it was done by rembrandt in 1658 and hasn't been seen in nearly 40 years. it will be sold at auction in london in november. it could sell for as much as $41

6:46 pm
first time on the home turf this season. it's a biggie. >> i want to say it's going to be fun, but we don't know that yet. >> of course it's going to be fun. >> we have to keep it positive. in sports with more than 16 games like hockey and basketball and baseball, the goal for most good teams is to have a winning record at home and finish around .500 on the road. if the redskins can do that, let's say 6-2 at home and, i don't know 4-4 on the road, that puts them at 10-6 which means a playoff berth. last year the guys did not take advantage of home field finishing just 4-4 in landover. by far the most disheartening loss to the rams. which is the team that happens to be in town on sunday. the rams were one of the worst teams in football, yet they found a way to steal one from
6:47 pm
the skins. if that happens this year, we could be looking at a burgundy and gold implosion, which is one reason players say a loss to the rams at home is just unacceptable. >> we take pride in our home. when an opponent comes in on our own turf, we have to defend that. for us, as a defensive team in general, a win is very crucial for us. >> the best remedy to a team's success is confidence. to get that confidence, you have to get going as a team to get some wins to have more confidence and to build up your morale to play that way the whole season. a win is a must. we know what we put in, we need to get something out of it. only way to get something out of it is by winning. >> the redskins' ten-point gafrts in this game. it makes them, if not the
6:48 pm
heaviest favorites in the nfl, among the most heavily favored teams. >> i have a feeling it might be closer than we expect. a win is a win. that's all that the matters. santana moss, remember he fought corey webster and fined $5,000 for an impromptu boxing match last sunday. moss held to two catches and just six yards in that game. he says he wants the ball early and often this weekend. defensively, the redskins can shut down stephen jackson if they c do that, they take away something from the rams' offense. probably a huge key for the rams is stephen jackson. he battled injuries this last couple of seasons. the 26-year-old is the best in the game. a couple of years ago he rushed for over 1,500 yards and had 90 catches in the same season. >> one of the best backs in the business. the guy at minnesota is off the chart.
6:49 pm
then i put jackson just right underneath there. he's big, he's strong, he's fast. he can go the distance any time he touches the football. if the hole is not there inside, he'll bounce it outside. i think this guy is a home run hitting type back. >> all right. tomorrow night it's showtime. redskins style. doc walker, mike wise joining lyndsay and me talking about everything, letting jason campbell taking the training wheels off. you can catch it at 7:00 here on nbc 4. >> college football this weekend. 19th-ranked nebraska in blacksburg taking on number 13 virginia tech. virginia at southern miss trying to turn their season around. the terps at home against mtsu, middle tennessee state, a team that shocked them on the road last year. last night, howard had trouble in tallahassee. due in part to this guy. this is florida a&m punt returner leroy van back to catch
6:50 pm
this thing. this is not the way he wanted to start the return. he's 5'9", 185 pounds and he can absolutely fly. one of two kick returns for a touchdown in the game. he's had four in the last two weeks. famu beats howard 48-10. our high school football game of the week at prince george's county. suitland players with a heavy heart after head coach nick lynch died in a car accident last december 31st. they did make him proud today. guys playing well honoring their fallen coach with stickers on the back of their helmets. suitland up 6-0 and on the move. kevin williams getting the handoff and taking it to the house. 15 yards for the touchdown. his second td of the game. the two-point conversion. 14-0, suitland. how abouter who? this is a 20-yard touchdown.
6:51 pm
suitland shuts out northwestern 21-0. they are now 2-1 on the season. talking baseball now. nationals starting a three-game set against the mets in new york tonight. last night they got a good performance from their rookie pitcher. the phyllis got a great performance from coal ham yils. the result loss 96 for the nationals. cole hamils was cruising along here. facing the rookie ian desmond. hamils with a perfect game through five. he retired the first 15 batters he faced. mike morris breaks it up. hamils went eight innings. chase utley.
6:52 pm
how many times havee seen this from ryan zimmerman? very lucky he didn't get hurt. going all out. even though the team did get their 96th loss of the season. full count. clifford uncorks the wild pitch. that's trouble. phillies complete the three-game sweep with a 4-2 victory. the nationals looking for something positive up at shea stadium toght. we'll keep you posted on that. >> what they don't want is to get to 100. >> that's inevitable. >> let's stop talking about that number. >> we can't. it's right there blinking like a big sign. >> thank you. >> we'll recap our top story of the big water ma
6:55 pm
