and i'm... patrick mckee. democratic and republican presidential hopefuls have set their sights on new hampshire... where it feels like the intensity has been turned up a notch. republicans see a crack in donald trump's armor after his second place finish to ted cruz. and marco rubio surprised everyone.. by almost beating trump-- finishing a close third. sot: donald trump/ r presidential candidate :27-:38 "we got the biggest vote ever in the history of a primary in iowa by like 60,000 people came out extra. i'm not going to say that was me, but believe me it was me." meanwhile senator bernie sanders says he raised three million dollars in donations since his moral victory in iowa. clinton trails sanders in recent new hampshire polls by double digits but she hopes to turn that around before tuesday's primary vote. hollins university political analyst ed lynch says the big wins in iowa for clinton and cruz mean very different things. he says cruz is looking surprisingly strong... while clinton might have more to worry about.

candidates may be looking at a very long race, with sanders expected to win in the upcoming new hampshire primary. on the proving projections wrong by beating donald trump, the field is more muddied than ever. patients and caretakers for virginians with severe epilepsy are asking lawmakers to medical marijuana. last year, the legislature and governor agreed to provide legal protection at state level for those possessing medical marijuana oil for treatment of epilepsy. but those families have returned to richmond because there's no system in place for them to get the medication in the commonwealth. medical cannabis oil is not supposed to create highs, and for many of the families, they say it's been the only treatment that's helped alleviate seizures. lisa smith, parent "it's just amazing to have a daughter that you can interact with more, that you're not constantly stressed about something that could take her life. "

consideration in the general assembly to allow production and distribution of the oils.### new this morning... both chambers of the virginia general assembly have approved legislation to allow home- schooled students to participate in public-school sports. the measure is commonly known as the "tebow bill," named for tim tebow, the former nfl quarterback who was home- schooled and allowed to play football for his local high school. a similar measure passed last year, but was vetoed by democratic gov. terry mcauliffe. the montgomery county school board will not change school start times for students. the school board voted unanimously last night to rescind the vote they made last april to implement the change. this means elementary school students will not start school earlier and middle and high school students will not go in later next school year as planned.### wednesday: heavy rain likely morning & early afternoon . late-day clearing with highs in
