there is your dense fog advisory, does not include prince georges county on d.c. arguably it could, some visibilities down to a quarter- mile. you go west, lots of areas quarter to one half mile visibility. winchester see something improvement right now. they're at 30. with temperatures 32 or less, and that dampness around, wow could have a few slick spots left over from yesterday when we had the snow that was down south, especially accumulated up to two inches in spots. monica, it's 6:00 a.m., volume is building. >> volumes are building. good news, metro's red line have resumed normal service. they were single tracking through that area, but you're good to go now. on the beltway, things are looking fine. we're going to zoom in first if

you're coming out of 0 frederick, no problems to report heading south on 270. we'll take a live look on the southbound side. you're going to hit the brakes, and then you're still good to go beyond that down to rockville with the lanes divide. over on the other side of maryland, no problems to report along 95, and route 50 inside the beltway, you're going to do okay. let's look at the betteway north side of town. you're still moving a at good place on the outer loop through silver spring. more on area roadways at 6:11. back to you guys. >> let's get the check on some of the stories happening today. the district will release some new scorecards on public schools. they'll be posted on-line this afternoon, and the school system says it will give parents access to information on teachers, graduation rates, and test scores. >> martin oh malley will be in german town this morning. there he will make what will be

considered a major announcement on funding. >> hollywood coming to washington tonight. angelina jolie will show off her new film at the holocaust museum. it's called the land of blood and honey. all of the polls suggest mitt romney will win in new hampshire in a runaway. so the big question is who will come in second. >> we've been taking a look at the activity coming out of new hampshire all morning, and it has been abuzz in that state. we have a live picture of one of the polls places in new hampshire. as you can see, a lot of folks have just streamed into the door. so about 6:00 in new hampshire, the doors opened, and it is quite a packed house at this point. mitt romney is expected to kind of run away with this race. so it will likely spell the end

for many candidates, but some are still hoping to stay alive, specifically we're talking ron paul and john huntsman, who are hoping to stay alive and fighting for that second spot in the race. about 6 hours ago, republicans in the small ton of dicksville notch cast very votes. with three votes for obama, and two each for romney and huntsman. >> this is a classic new hampshire primary, in that the people, i think, deliberately make it impossible for the pollsters to fir out what is going on. >> in the end, if you're bow going to beat barack oh may --

obama, you have to convince some of those people to vote for us. >> why don't we spend that money here at home instead of overseas? >> give us that boost to show that the momentum is continuing, so we can go down to south carolina, kick a little butt down in south carolina. >> reporter: all right. there you have it. and governor rick perry chose to skip new hampshire entirely, and he's already campaigning in south carolina, hoping to gain momentum in that race, which is just about a week or so away. as you can see, the polls have already opened in portions of new hampshire, folks are streaming in to cast their ballots. it's going to be a very busy day. all eyes on new hampshire, the polls there close at 8:00 p.m. we'll be on top of this story and bring you the latest as it develops. back to you. >> thank you. >> president obama is using the republican presidential field

to help raise money for his party. the president spoke at a fund- raiser here in washington last night. he listened the republican presidential candidates to the gop on capitol hill. it's the first time he linked the two. analysts see it as a sign of the white house's reflection strategy. >> this morning d.c. police are looking for a gunman who shot and killed a man over a pair of $200 sneakers. 19-year-old david lee robinson died in a gun foot early sunday. investigators believe the robbers and the victim and his friend were all armed because of the number of shell casings left at the scene. robinson leaves behind a pregnant girlfriend.

>> republican bob mcdonald says more than half of the school districts in the commonwealth have waivers to start the school year earlier, and he want it is the whole thing removed from the books. the governor says more classroom time is needed to prepare students for the real world. >> the time right now is 6:06, and i am watching your money. many college students are concerned about finding employment after they graduate, but those who major in computer science are almost certain to be hired. >> i think the social network is the wall street movie of this generation. >> you guys were the inventers of facebook. >> a lot of students want to build something cool that's going to change the world. >> facebook's founder may have dropped out of college, but for others, graduating with a computer science degree is i paying off with job offers. >> i round 4 or 5, between 10

and 20 reached out to me just before graduating. >> students graduating with other degrees are facing a very different job market. >> they think i don't live in reality. >> for example, nyu reports a 94% placement rate for computer science grads last spring, an average starting salary of $66,000, and job security may be a reason why the major is taking off, with enrollment at nyu up 50% since 2007. >> coding is literacy of the future, and they want to get in on that. >> when i started, the program was really small, and only had one section for each class, and now as for the introductory ones, three or four at least. >> nationwide, the placement for technology possessions is -- technology positions are

seeing job growth. jobs for computer systems analysts are expected to jump by 20%, and these jobs pay. average salaries around $94,000 a year. >> not bad when you're first getting out of college. yeah. >> in five minutes, a closer look at the rising tensions between the united states and iran. is this a dangerous omen, or just a game of political chess? we'll let you know. >> and still. >> icy patches on the roads and schwabs, so careful. howard will tell us if we'll see any more snow today. get your weather first

10 after 6:00, time to rise and shine! although it will be a little cloudy, dense fog advisory west of 95 until 9:00 a.m. 38 degrees at 9:00. still clouds hanging out. by noon, mostly sunny. 47 into the low 50s for a high. coming back with a look at the weekend in the next four minutes. right now, monika with timesaver traffic. >> the interstate is looking good. here is a live look at 395 and duke street. i'll have the latest on 95 and 66 coming up at 6:18. >> a maryland airman is among the latest casualties killed in action in afghanistan. one of the stories making news at 6:11. 24-year-old airman first class matthew seidler was from carroll county. he worked as on a bomb diffusing team. he died last week in a roadside bombing along with two other

soldiers. budget director jack loo will be president obama's new chief of staff. the president called him the cheer choice to replace william daley. daley is stepping down after one year on the job. >> there will be more rain in houston today but nothing quite like monday. rain flooded the major highways around the city. some parts of houston got up to seven inches of rain. mike? >> thanks, jess. the state department is working on a case of a former marine given a death sentence in iran. he's accused of being a spy there. it is the latest incident of rising tensions between our two countries. now for a closer look, we're joined by jamal abbey with the national iranian national council and we were just talking, do you think this is a chess match or is this a serious instance where we do someone who is an american who was caught as a spy there? >> this is a culmination of a series of at this time for at that times between -- of tits for tats to limit iran's

ability to export oil. and iran is responding in kind. they're sort of upping the ante. they took this young american iranian american and charged him with a crime of being a spy. and you know, there are numerous irregularities in the case. really, i think what this amounts to is just another case of political one upsmanship. sort of a dangerous escalation that could result in some very bad outcomes for both sides. >> aside from as we were talking, shutting off the strait of hormuz where a lot of the world's oil goes through, the sanctions, retaliation of some of the sanctions, you were saying they're pretty widespread. >> president obama a couple of weekends ago signed into law the most all encompassing sanctions we've seen to date. these are sanctions against iran's central bank. they make it illegal for any company to do business with iran. this is tied to iran's nuclear

program. the efforts by the united states and its allies to get iran to suspend its enrichment program. iran says our program is purely for peaceful purposes. we want to create energy. the west says you need to come cleaned actually open up your program so that we know that's the case. and then meanwhile, on the western side, iran says the sanctions are for regime change purposes. so, a lot of talking past one another. >> this is not the first time we've had tensions with this country. where do we go from here? is this an impasse? is this the most serious -- you know -- >> the danger is that this spills over into a conflict, a military conflict. that's a real concern of military leaders, a concern of pavilion leaders. way out of this is through actually having talks. and that's the problem. we have this escalation, confrontation of actions there haven't been any words exchanged. so, unless we can get to the negotiation table, there is a chance this is going to become an all-out military conflict. there are negotiations

scheduled actually hopefully in a couple of weeks and the hope is that that gives an opportunity for an off-ramp from the cycle of escalation. >> hopefully. >> hopefully conversations can get started. jamal, thank you for joining us and helping to explain a very difficult problem. >> jess, howard, over to you. >> thank you so much, mike. well, i was playing inside with my daughter yesterday. >> a good mom. >> snow started falling. i was trying to get her off of my phone because she was playing angry birds when we looked out the window and saw this. there are five little deer hanging out in my backyard. i don't know if you can see them. >> it had just started snowing. it was a very picturesque moment. >> lovely background. >> wanted to bring that to you this morning. >> a deer moment. >> oh, dear! >> but no snow in the focus for today, right, howard? >> the fog is the big problem this morning. the deer probably can't see the trees in front of their eyes with some of the visibilities that have been real dense. this is now west of washington. until 9:00 this morning, it does not include the district,

prince george's county, calvert or anybody in southern maryland. there are areas in southern maryland where these visibilities are way down. here at howard, montgomery county, fairfax, loudoun, prince william, fauquier, all of you folks out toward the shenandoah valley in that dense fog advisory, you can see why. visibilities from orange to luray, quarter mile. 3/4 in stafford. 3/4 in leesburg. dulles has been a quarter mile or so. heard from brett in reston about 30 minutes. visibility was near zero. you'll notice andrews air force base to leonardtown. reports a quarter mile visibility, scott over to andrews tells me it is close to a mile on the roads. over to tappahannock and pax river, visibilities 3/4 to half- mile. our bus stop forecast this morning, we're calling for the fog and it is chilly out there. and damp. 20s and 30s. you're feeling every degree of it. sunrise at 7:26. the day planner today, mid-30s at 8:00 with mostly cloudy

skies. by noon, mid to upper 40s. i think we'll top out around 52 with a 4:00 p.m. temperature of 51. generally clear tonight as we dip into the 30s before the clouds and the rain return pretty quickly on wednesday. 32 in washington with lots of areas, upper 20s to low 30s. lots of slick spots out there. looking on our michael & son weather camera, you can see the fog which has lifted a little bit over the capitol. still visibilities just a couple of miles. here is a look at the next three days. 52 today. once we get rid of the morning fog, sunshine returns. a little breezy at times. tonight, we're down in the 30s. mid-40s tomorrow. the rain on wednesday should be here before noon. it could be rather moderate to heavy wednesday afternoon and evening. early showers thursday. mild still but turning sharply colder by friday. some snow showers friday, mid- 30s. we keep the chill around through the weekend. monika? >> mainly just the slow traffic. you've got a lot of volume on the interstates. luckily no major incidents to slow you down.

if you're planning to head over to 95, overall, you've got your delays, triangle into tkufpl fridays. right here where you see the picture here on 395, northbound looks ok at duke street. once you head over to seminary road and a bit in shirlington, you'll hit the brakes. 14th street bridge is ok. no problems to report on the dulles toll road in from leesburg. 66 slow traffic right now forming from manassas all the way to centreville. here at nutley street, still looks pretty good. it may slow down a bit as you approach the beltway. coming up, we'll go into maryland at 6:25. jessica and mike? >> thank you so much, monika. the time right now is 6:18. next in sports, a shutout in the bcs title game and the capitals limp on home from l.a. >> before we head to break, another check of the question of the morning. which company do you think is the largest toy distributor in the whole world. is it a, walmart. b, mcdonald's or c, toys "r"

us. >> our facebook friend terry says i think it is b, mcdonald's. look at how many billions of hamburgers they sold with all of those boys. while ronald writes c, toys "r" us but i reserve the right to change my answer if i'm wrong. good morning, channel 9 family. good morning to you, too, ronald. >> keep your guesses coming. we'll reveal the answer at 6:49. we'll be right back.

welcome back. 6:22. howard here, your weather first. we've got some dense fog in spots this morning. dense fog advisory until 9:00 west of washington. even some areas below freezing. watch out for some slick ramps and overpasses. looking at our day planner, we're talking about temperatures, below freezing. we'll have a nice recovery after we burn out the low clouds and fog. temperatures by midday in the upper 30s topping out in the 50s this afternoon with a bit of a breeze. mike and jess? >> thank you, howard. you should know andrea, who is a new orleans native, already

had planned to take today off. >> she's not in hiding after last night's bcs title game. her lsu tigers did not fair that well. >> a rematch against the crimson tide of alabama. defense was the story for the most part. crimson tide smothered lsu. alabama had five field goals and one late touchdown. bama blanks lsu21-0. six consecutive titles for the s.e.c. and two in the last two years for alabama. here is a look at the final standings. alabama ends the season at number one. lsu falling to second. welcome back state in third. -- oklahoma state in third. >> the wizards hope to finally win their first game of the season. they host the toronto raptors tonight. d.c. is 0-8. the last win for the wizards was last season. april 11th against the celtics. the capitals will be glad to

end their west coast road trip. they were in l.a. last night taking on the kings. no score in the first. d.c.'s marcus johansen scored his eighth goal. season. caps went up 1-0. that would have been the last lead they had. in the second period, the kings jack johnson with the goal. he does a tim tebow impression. caps lose 5-2. they host the penguins tomorrow night. last night at verizon center, georgetown looked like it was going to have its way with cincinnati until the bearcats defense showed up. in a big way. cincinnati held georgetown to four field goal attempts. they hit all eight of their free throws in the final 2:00. hoyas lose in an upset 68-64. now, they're 3-2 in the big east. west virginia visiting national champion uconn huskies last night. mountaineers had a 10-point lead in the second half but they just could not stop jeremy lam. he had 25 points for the huskies.

west virginia loses 64-57. >> the time right now, 6:24. still ahead, signs of optimism for the auto industry at this year's detroit auto show. not good news for metro riders this morning. how much a new round of proposed fare hikes could be costing you. >> right now though, monika has a quick check on traffic. monika? >> we're look at heavy traffic now on the outer loop of the beltway. it begins at new hampshire avenue heading west past colesville road toward silver spring. beyond that, you're ok into bethesda. more on maryland roadways and delays on 270 coming up in my next report. you're watching 9news now. we'll be right back.

some fog now. by the time we get toward noon, lots of sunshine. upper 40s. we hit the low 50s today. west wind at 10 to 15. fog here in northwest. out to our west, in montgomery, howard, carol, frederick. dense fog advisory. still a quarter mile leonardtown down toward pax river. luray, still a quarter mile. slick spots as well. inside monika's tracking the rest of your roads. here she is with timesaver traffic. >> thank you soufp, howard. i'm just getting word of an accident on the northbound side of i-95 north of dale city. i'll keep you posted on that. another accident in bethesda. let's go to a live picture on

the inner loop of the beltway. this is at badly boulevard. the accident is in the roadway between 270. keep that in mind as you head and east of the beltway through bethesda. we'll go back over to the map. you have delays as you can see. coming down from 85 toward 109. a bit of slow traffic as well. let's take a live look. southbound on 270. you've got the slow traffic again through rockville. here's what it looks like in college park on the outer loop of the beltway, it will slow down basically as you hit new hampshire avenue. that will be continuous to georgia avenue on the west side of the beltway north of town. i'll keep you posted on the accident in bethesda and down in dale city again at 6:45. back to you guys. >> we'll see you then. well, cbs this morning made its debut monday. beautiful set. today, the big topic will be the new hampshire primary of course. >> joining us live from new york is erica hill. great looking show yesterday.

looking forward to today. >> thanks. we're all looking forward to it, too. good morning to you. this morning, on cbs 2 morning, as you mentioned, top story, the primary in new hampshire. we'll take you inside one polling location. get a better feel for what people are saying on the ground about this very important primary. we'll also check in with our own bob schieffer. he will weigh in on a number of political stories including the comment from mitt romney about he likes being able to fire people. also, only on cbs this morning, you'll hear from the parents of the florida college student who died after horrific hazing ins dent. they will describe not only what happened but who they think is to blame and why they think that hazing was so severe. plus, mark wahlberg is with us in studio 57. we hope you'll be with us at 7:00, too, on cbs this morning. have a great day. >> thank you, erica. >> er it is unfortunate. someone has to do it. >> thanks, erica. have a great day.

>> ok. >> well, as soon as the results are announced tonight in new hampshire, most of the candidates will take off and head south. the primaries and caucuses are about to start coming at a pretty rapid clip. >> delia gonsalves joins us now with the studio with a look at what lies ahead. busy day in new hampshire. >> super busy. we already saw some folks are heading to the polls and casting their ballots. really busy day. folks can't really celebrate for too long. they have to move on to the next race. so, certainly, eyes are forging ahead to south carolina. that is just 11 days away. will likely spell the end of the road for many candidates. folks are really spending their energies on the next race. in fact, we've already seen rick perry working the crowds in south carolina. he skipped new hampshire entirely. an interesting tactic. he's spending time in that conservative southern state, a focus there will likely be the unemployment rate which is among the highest in the nation at 10%. the recent polls and you can take a look at the numbers there, 30% from romney.

show mitt romney leading in south carolina, the highly conservative state, of course, it is heavily influenced by the tea party movement which believes romney is too moderate of a candidate. a win there is huge for him. could be huge and really pave the road for a november match- up with president barack obama. >> so, obviously south carolina make-or-break time for a lot of candidates. what comes after that? what's the next big contest? >> you had mentioned it is a tight schedule that they have. very little sleep. lots of coffee. they're heading to the next one and the next one obviously is florida. the latest numbers there show that romney is doing well in florida, too. so, it will be an interesting match-up. but florida is the next race, let's take a look at the calendar. and that busy schedule that lies ahead. the primary there in florida, january 31st followed by maine and neve dad with caucuses both held saturday, february 4th. then three days later, you have colorado, minnesota, and a primary in missouri as well.

we can really fast forward, super tuesday, march 6th. 11 states holding contests including virginia, massachusetts and ohio. >> now, to refrain from republicans throughout the campaign, it is who can beat president obama. who will do well in the general election. what are the results when people are polled about that? >> when santorum was interviewed last night in new hampshire, he said it is all about electability. who can take the voters, who, four years ago voted for president barack obama. a lot of the independent votes. so, they're really pushing for that in new hampshire. so, it is interesting. this is just kind of a hypothetical. as we were to push forward to november, who would win the race. so far, the cbs poll says that mitt romney is likely to beat president barack obama. you can take a look at the numbers there. the percentage points, 2 percentage points. 47 for mitt romney. 45 for barack obama followed of course by ron paul and rick santorum. the rest of the candidates really are closely matched with about 41%, 42%.

interesting to note this cbs poll was taken right after his win in iowa. which was huge. he just narrowly beat out rick santorum in iowa. we'll see how the numbers match up. >> it is early. that 45% to 47% is within the margin of error. >> absolutely. >> we could end up with another 2,000 here. >> it will be a long night. >> i had a lot of fun that night. it was hard for a lot of people to stomach. but it was cool. >> thank you, delia. >> we have a commuter alert. metro riders, get ready to pay more for your commute. "the washington post" reports thursday metro bosses will propose a 5% hike to fares on both metrorail and metrobus. metro would do away with the peak of the peak surcharge during rush hour and it would put a flat fee in place for commuters who think paper fare cards, $6 in rush hour, $4 in off-peak times. that would hit tourists the hardest. parking rates would go up as

well. any changes would take effect this summer. there is some good news for metro. work is 60% done on the new silver line. phase one will go from east falls church through tysons corner to wheelie avenue in reston. track is being laid in some sections. this extension is slated to open by late next year. the former army officer accused of trying to help a terrorist group in somalia, federal documents say 24-year- old charles bax trim traveled to sox alia to join an islamic group. baxtrim became a muslim while he was serving in korea. the former army intelligence officer could get 15 years in prison if convicted. well, there is growing concern over a rat problem at the two occupy d.c. encampments. city health authorities say unsanitary conditions at mcpherson square are breeding grounds for disease and for rats. there are also some concerns that protestors could develop

hypothermia because of the weather. right now, there is no immediate plan, however, to evict protestors for health reasons. jess? >> thank you, mike. the time right now, 6:37. i am watching your money. more of us are using our money in electronic forms instead of paper. social security recipients who start getting benefits this year will have to get them through direct deposit. all paper checks will be phased out by 2013. the move will save the government $108 million a year. if you want a u.s. savings bond, you can only buy them online. no more buying them at the bank. the treasury department says that move will save $120 million over the next five years. you can save money this weekend when you go to a national park. all 397 of them will be free this upcoming weekend for the martin luther king jr. holiday. that includes great falls and fredericksburg military park and shenandoah national park. some will also host special

events. the big annual detroit auto show doesn't open to the public until this weekend. but the big awards for cars of the year are already out. the hyundai elantra was named the 2012 north american car of the year. while the range rover was named 2012 north american truck of the year. it is a big honor for both vehicles. transportation secretary ray lahood was in detroit and says this year's auto show has a different feeling than just a few years ago. >> when i was there at this show three years ago, this place was like a funeral home. today, it is like a wedding celebration. >> the auto show hosts industry days today and tomorrow. that's usually when carmakers show off their new vehicles for the upcoming year. >> just about 6:40. there are some slick areas out there on the roads this morning so be careful. of course, nothing like the karma geddon we had nearly a year ago. monika takes us inside a new command center which is trying

to prevent another highway mess this winter. >> no snow in the forecast today for today. what about the rest of the week? your 7-day forecast is next here on 9news now.

we're back at 6:44 with your weather first. did you enjoy our first snowfall of the year? calling this a snowfall. look at that. pretty generous. strong flurries. might be better. just enough to coat the grass and park areas. a little bit of accumulation where i live. >> where you live. bill had about an inch. most folks would say a little more than a few flurries. >> how did you do? >> i was far enough north in clarksburg, just a little bit of white on the ground. i did see some good bursts down through germantown. gaithersburg, a little coating on the ground. >> it wasn't shovel worthy. >> sweepable. >> kind of wet for sweepable. that's the problem with the low level moisture around from yesterday. that allows some fog to form

overnight. even a few slick spots with temperatures have fallen below freezing. dense fog advisory until 9:00. west of 95. some of the winds started to kick up. some visibilities far west starting to move a little bit. this may not make it until 9:00 a.m. those visibilities are still rather low. check out some of them in southern maryland. we're in the pax river area. down to about an eighth of a mile. some of the worst spots is down here. we still have visibilities at a half-mile to culpepper. quarter mile in orange. winchester, cross junction. no problems there. you guys look like you're done with the fog. still a mile visibility in gaithersburg. your bus stop forecast, it is chilly. it is damp. and it is foggy in spots. 28 to 37. sun comes up at 7:26. that's about 5:05. our day planner, we'll see sunshine once you get rid of the fog and clouds this morning. upper 40s by noon. 3:00, 52. computer wants to say 54.

keep that in mind if you're heading out the door. we'll go further north hraofpbg i-95 and 395. you're ok. let's go further north on to 395 where you're going to find the congestion forming at duke street. once you're in shirlington, you will be ok here. we'll go back over to the maps. this time into bethesda where there were reports of an accident on the inner loop of the beltway just past i-270. i'm not sure if they found anything. we're still waiting to hear but this just in case on the northbound side, be aware of that. we'll take a live look at river road on the inner loop of the beltway, no delays yet. outer loop is also looking still pretty good at the american legion bridge and then down to tysons corner. another look at the big picture. at 6:58. >> but you're not done yet. >> there were probably more than a few people who got a little anxious. blood pressure up with the thought of possibly driving in the snow. >> any time you put together snow and even rush, it can be a nightmare. >> it sure can. >> yesterday was just a preview. that's exactly why virginia has

combined its public safety agencies all into one building. in this extra mile report, i'm taking you inside this massive facility in fairfax. >> reporter: it is difficult to forget the wrath of mother nature in washington in 2011. with snowmageddon, carmageddon, flooding and an earthquake in one year. nobody wants a repeat of the frustration that caused again. having learned from that experience, the state of virginia has integrated public safety departments at mp stock, a county and state partnership enhancing communications all under one roof. so, how did the agencies now housed there work together if we have to deal with lots of snow this winter? >> we have 911, police and fire down here. we have vdot and state police all working together on this floor. emergency management overseas emergency operations center right across the hall over here. so, there is a big event, everybody is here together. we link up very easily. >> as a result of last january's snowstorm that

paralyzed the region leaving traffic at a stand still for hours. this year, the office of emergency management is rolling out a new campaign asking residents to stay where they are. >> federal, state and local, we've all decided that what we're going to push this year is get to where you need to go before the storm hits. and be prepared to stay there until the streets are clear. stay off the roads is what we're asking you to do. >> the campaign this winter is snow. stay off the roads, not out in the weather. >> snowmageddon, depending on you know, the weather that we're going to have, here this winter, we can activate the snowstorms, generally, we know when those snowstorms are coming so we can plan for them and we can get staff in before the storm hits. and we can work those incidents then. >> the general manager told me that unfortunately, 9-11 was a big impetus to put all of the agencies together. so, if weather comes in, they have the 3:30 a.m. conference calls and they make

the decision whether that snow policy should go into effect. >> we certainly appreciate the work they're doing. any other centers like this? >> there are a few in the united states but what's interesting is that the d.o.t. managers from japan, china and dubai have visited the center and want to follow suit. want to make a building like this. >> and hopefully they'll call us. >> thanks a lot, monika. >> you're welcome. >> time to answer the question of the morning. which company do you think is the largest toy distributor in the world? the choices were walmart, mcdonald's or toys "r" us. >> here is the answer. kind of a trick question here. the answer is mcdonald's. >> could be because they're all over the world and they give the toys out. >> yeah. >> absolutely. >> we'll have the news before you go coming up next.
