more? >> no, i believe in strong families. that's what the paper was really all about. my opponent is trying to take a sentence or two out of it. this isn't about just some paper that bob mcdonald wrote 20 years ago it is about the fact that he spent the next 20 years actually implementing the ideas in that paper. >> reporter: the senior advisor of dies says they are making an impact with undecided voters. with six weeks to go in the race bob mcdonald's college paper could be the factor in the voting. >> i think it would affect my opinion but as a woman in the workforce i can't help but have it not affect my opinion but at the same time you have to give people credit. >> reporter: there are two more debates between the candidates in the coming weeks before election day. this race could very well be a battle to the very end with all of america watching the swing state. i'm surae chinn, 9news now and wusa9.com. a california rapper whose

close enough to that bull? >> you read my mind. >> they spray painted that bull from a distance. >> doesn't that make him madder. spray paint him pink will make him mad. >> go take care of that. >> welcome to the rodeo. all right, weather wise for us it was another beautiful day today. just gorgeous. been an outstanding weekend and for the most part it will stay that way at the beginning of the workweek. don't let the rain drops throw you off. don't think you have to worry about any precipitation for the morning commute tomorrow. i think the best chance for rain is actually tuesday and wednesday. by the way, autumn begins on tuesday at 5:19 p.m. in the evening. that's when the equinox takes place. partly cloudy skies tonight overnight. not quite as cool as last night but you would still call it nice with low temperatures upper 40s and mid-50s in the city. as we head through the rest of the forecast mixture of sunshine and clouds going into the weekend. a slight chance for a couple

rain showers. the high temperatures in the mid-70s for tuesday. we are going to increase the chances for rain but for tomorrow i put it at about 30%. so again, don't worry about rain as you head into work and school tomorrow. 64 degrees at national airport. 51 dew point. the air still very dry. temperatures in the western suburbs in the mid-60s. different in cloud cover. clouds at night have a tendency to keep the temperatures warmer than they would be otherwise. so the skies are a little cooler off to the northeast. 55 at vwi. clouds coming in from the west. there is some rain off to the west as well. temperatures are going to hold up tonight with the cloud cover and showers coming in and eventually that shower activity is going to catch up to us because the high pressure that has been protecting us is now moving off to the northeast. the further the high goes away from us the better the chance of rain to come in and that's going to happen during the day

tomorrow and into tuesday. as a matter of fact, there is going to be a big storm system in the central part of the country. you can see this moisture coming up the east coast. bruce was talking about the flooding in the southeast a few minutes ago. those rain showers will eventually catch up to us. we won't have flooding rain. but better chance of having precipitation. tomorrow 20 or 30% mark on that. tuesday, wednesday, put it up to 50%. temperatures won't move that much. mid to up, 70s. then by the time we get to the end of the week we will cool off and dry out. high temperatures in the low 70s on friday and saturday. so not a great forecast for the week. not as nice as it was the last couple of days but i don't think we have to get up early and worry about rain or anything like that in the morning. >> we will be okay. >> yes. >> brett is up next with a quick look at sports plus. gao÷g>yñ
