now, the reelection bid of harry reid is in big trouble.he is not very popular in his home state, and not surprisingly, he is trailing in the polls, so he is taking things into his own hands, planning to run advertisements against his opponents. one of his advisers told politico.com, quote, "i expect him to vaporize whoever is the of poet -- the opponent." there is also the vicious attack by jon corzine against his opponent chris christie. i guess these personal attacks are all that is left. you may have seen some curious advertisements plastered on the walls. they are spreading the word that you can live a great life without god. advertisements like this are hitting the subways, courtesy of an advertisement campaign launched by one group. according to the spokesman of the group, the advertisements are meant to inform new yorkers that 1 million of us have created natural morality and lead good, productive lives without religious dogma or god. can you imagine the outrage is a political -- religious group put -- could you imagine the outrage

this is a sound cut from harry reid on medicare. is. >> ever since senate republicans opposed the creation of medicare, they spent the past 40 years on the wrong side of history when it comes to helping seniors. in the past ten years, republicans have voted against protecting and strengthening medicare 59 times. the american people can be excused for not buying republican's 11th hour claim that they're the true guardians of senior's health care. >> today, the republicans were quick to point out that in the senate finance bill, there's a $500 billion cut to seniors. who's going to win this bar, joan, how does this play out? >> i think it's tough to explain in the abstract, ed, and taken out of context, the republicans have been using it. but i think that harry reid's logic said with a lot of passion and said often, can carry the day. they've always opposed medicare. it's ridiculous to see them as the defenders of medicare. and the cut is actually a complicated restructuring. them not cut senior's care and will not cut medicare. so i

kate harris has been covered extensively from tennessee. what is the theory here?> the police have not discussed it, but we know that the department of children services have explained the reasons they took the children, and the reason is that they received some information. there are accusations at some level against the family, and they have some information about where it came from. they got information anonymously. jane: one of the family members, a cousin, was asked if it was possible that the mother and father of the baby could have done this. how would the stabbing be involved? why would she say that? police have also said that what does not add up to them from the beginning is why this child was targeted, why this baby, among all the other or mothers and newborns? >> there are a number of theories. one is that they had a sign out front announcing that the baby was there. perhaps they had seen the woman earlier in the day and followed her home. but that is still one of the biggest questions they are trying to answer. jane: we have pictures from a car seen ne
