which barack obama will d.c., rick hess? -- will we see, rick hess? >> wanting to keep in mind, from the first term, there was remarkably little statutory action from the administration. we saw a regulatory things. gainful in plymouth, the push on waivers, barring -- employment, the flesh -- pushed on waivers, but they will have grown on spending of 12%, less than either term from president clinton or president bush. we are looking at a $1 trillion shortfall. assuming they get a deal done and taxes goes up, that does not create a big flow of dollars. honestly, i think that is where the president is standing. when you listen to the signals that he gave and secretary arne duncan dave talking about 100,000 teachers without making it clear where the money would come from. the secretary avoided mentioning race to the top. given that the teachers' unions can make as possible of the case as anyone that they were pivotal in the three most narrow states, colorado, ohio and florida, it will be interesting to see how hard the president wants to push on the refor

hess has restored several terminals. governor christie has imposed an odd/even rule, this is when drivers could get gas to alleviate over the extremely long fuel lines. >>> on the eve of the u.s. elections, the race for the white house couldn't be any teeter. the final "wall street journal" poll of likely voters shows president obama leading mitt rom any by just one percentage point, 48% to 47% margin. polls in many battleground states remain too close to call. a running average of all national polls by real clear politics has the two men between 0.2% of each other. >>> at the same time, romney may not get to label china a currency manipulator if he becomes president because the power to do so doesn't lie with the commander in chief, but with the u.s. treasury secretary. analysts warn that provoking beijing could put bilateral trade at risk. joining us for more, chairman of the asian pacific council at the american chambers of down. steven, are you fearful if we had a president romney because of his threats against china

adam shapiro is at a hess station in midtown manhattan with more on this.dam, i can not believe this is still going on. it's amazing. >> a lot of new york drivers can't believe it is still going on. real quick, look at something, first the line. this line stretches down to the 38th street, that is anywhere from 15 to 30 minute wait. look at the gas station. we haven't seen this kind of rationing since the 1970s or 1980s. this is even odd rationing. if your last number is odd number you fill up on an odd day. if the last number is letter not a number on odd day. even numbers tomorrow fill up. when we talk about what is actually happening here, because mayor bloomberg says the gas rationing could take several more weeks. they're still building infrastructure for delivery of infrastructure throughout the new jersey, new york area. the other issue is not only pipelines but the distribution centers where tankers fill up. some were damaged far worse than thought. that is also the reason they're having to ration. they can't get as much gasoline to the stations. on

[laughter] >> there are three ways the f.d.i.c.

hess also has a massive terminal here. normally these would be full at this hour with tankers offloading. the harbor here in new york was opened only yesterday, and so we are starting to see some tankers come up. we are working today with the folks at bashard transportation. they normally transport somewhere in the area of 600,000 to 700,000 barrels of product a day. six, seven tankers a day or so that come in here to imtt. they are starting to bring son-in-law up, at about 40% capacity today, but the problem is big terminals like this still don't have power, still aren't out. so even if you lift the jones act and allow other tankers to come in, until these terminals get power to start pumping that gasoline and other products, it's really going to just cause another bottle neck on the water rather than at these terminals. the one thing that people are waiting for is for that power to come back. we did contact imtt. they're not making any statements at this time as to when they believe they will resume the oil and products

hess has a very good website they update for all their stations. it shows how many gallons they have in stock at a two-hour interval. it is extremely good. it was interesting to look at it earlier this morning and see that the stations on long island are still in trouble. the stations in the city are in a lot of trouble. stations in new jersey were far better. you're hearing better reports out of new jersey. it's not really that surprising to me having looked at this. like a lot of people, i've been anecdotally looking at social media, twitter, et cetera. new jersey reports seem to be a little less crazy. i thought long island where i live was going to be a little bit better today but that does not seem to be the case. >> i think jersey only better because there are so few cars or not road, john. i commute every day. i just notice people are just giving up, not even trying anymore. is there anything that we can do to prevent -- listen. it is an adapter. it is a storm. it is unpredictable. but from an infrastructure point of view, anything we can do

the line for gas at this west side hess station extends down 10th avenue as far as the eye can see. >> this is horrible. horrible. >> very frustrating. >> reporter: since sandy struck it seems like it's been easier to get around on these. so now the mayor has signed an executive order instituting gas rationing until further notice. >> it has worked well in new jersey and although they are more severe here, we help it will mitigate the worst of our problems. >> reporter: like jersey, cars with plates ending on even numbers are only allowed to gas up on even days. odd on odd days, along with vainty plates. cabs and people carrying canisters are exempt. most people we spoke with seem to support the mayor's order. >> i'm sure he knows the data and he is probably doing the right thing. >> i think that's a great idea to slow this gas thing up because it's ridiculous. >> reporter: with power still out and with major infrastructure damage in the wake of sandy, rationing is also coming to long island. >>> news edge on montgomery county where police are searching for a robber who held up achy p

. >>> for a look at the weather hess let's bring in meteorologist. sure you are remembering larry hagman tonight, too, rob. >> remembering watching "dallas" and watching the reruns of "i dream of jeannie". it was wonderful to see him. as we look at our weather forecast today, we did have some mostly sunny skies. in fact, right now you've got a gorgeous sunset looking from oakland over towards san francisco. mainly clear. a few wispy, high clouds biological weapwe might see some patchy fog. the weekend off to a stellar start so far. mainly in the upper 50 tos to m 60s. you can see down to 62 in san jose. the sea breeze is starting to pick up. that's the reason why the peninsula and the coast are running a little bit cooler tomorrow. overall, winds fairly light. i do think that sea breeze is a lit stronger by this time tomorrow evening. looking at the next 24 hours. our future cast, what we're going to see are the low clouds coming back to the coast heading towards tomorrow morning and patchy fog inland and some low clouds spilling into parts of the so

. >> reporter: plenty of company at this hess station. this line in fort lee, about 45-minute wait. and that's not bad, if you look around elsewhere, the lines are a lot longer. this station here is pumping gas, because it has a generator. how long you been waiting? >> this is my second trip. i was here earlier this morning to fill up my pickup truck and get gas for the generator. and i'm here right now, probably about 20, 25 minutes. >> reporter: you're on e, pal. >> yeah, i've got 21 miles left. fortunately the gas pump's probably about a mile. >> reporter: it's a morning-long odyssey for many in search of fuel to drive. >> it's nuts. nuts. i tried all over the bronx to get gas and there was nowhere near me. >> reporter: or fuel to go. what are you going to do with this? >> throw in a little in the car, and a generator at the office. >> reporter: come to this? >> again, i'm happy to be able to stand here and complain about it. >> rorter: jim rosenfield, news4. >>> here in our area, it has been a gloomy day. temperatures at least 10 degrees colder than normal. we could use some sun

decided on my way home to see what is going on and i found out i was able to get some gas over here at hess. >> right now, i heard there is no gas until tomorrow evening so i wanted to fill up now. whatever i can get i can get. >> i came last night, they were out of gas. we are on fumes. we had to do this. here we go. >>jonathan: the good news is the port of new york and new jersey is re-opened so more gas supplies can come in. once the power goes back on we are told that here in manhattan, at least, that should be this weekend and more gas stations will be able to open and the lines should get a little better, at least here in the city there is, perhaps, a light at the end of the tunnel but new jersey is in a very bad situation. we have seen the longest lanes of all and no word on when they will get power back. obviously, getting power back so you can pump gas is critical. >>shepard: the gridlock is ridiculous. >>jonathan: the gridlock coming in at rush hour today was pretty bad for everyone although i have to say from my evidence when we got through rush hour most of the streets seemed qu

they're on the same page as harry reid and vice versus, i think that's why there's a little bit of hess tans to responding to speaker boehner too soon. >> who are his point people? >> jack liou, tim geithner as well, he's a part of this. >> but he's a lame duck treasury secretary. what about the players who might be brought into the mix? what are we hearing. >> jack is one of the players. that's why it's going to fell less lame duckish. geithner does have good personal relationships on the republican side. some republicans on capitol hill have never been big -- they personally get along well with jack liou but they believe he has pulled the president away from some issues. they miss -- to put it more bluntly, they miss bill daley. they thought bill daley was pulling the president into potentially creating a grand barge than everybody -- that the republicans were going to be more comfortable with and that they've been in a sense with republicans they think jack pulls the president farther away from where republicans get comfortable. so i think that that's where it's unclear what the rece

of those but, look, the front-runner, current chief of staff, former budget director, i hear some hesss sigh a little inside the white house and some in the wall street community not big fans of lou and even among some on capitol hill and i do, it is my understanding, there is a larger outreach effort going on by the white house to look for some more candidates. >> report. chuck todd, do appreciate you as always. >> you got it. >> don't miss a day of the daily rundown. if you miss t you miss a lot. every weekday 9 a.m. only here on msnbc. >> we have to have a bigger tent. no doubt about it. obviously we have to do immigration reform. there is no doubt whatsoever that the demographics are not on our side. we are going to have to give a much more positive agenda. it can't be just being against the democrats. >> republicans senator john mccain openly admitting a huge failure to capture the latino vote on election day is forcing his party to rethink the messaging and the policies as well. one big sign of that comes this week as the gop votes to expand visas for foreign, science and to make

as i mentioned, good economic news out today but is it enough to erase any of the huge losses from hess hurricane sandy? let's find out. senior economic reporter steve liesman. can you answer that question for us, steve? >> best i can, sandy, may be early days but we are getting new information about what the expected or estimated costs of hurricane sandy. we had governor cuomo, the entire state of new york, if town add in the costs of rebuilding, the economic damage, 42 billion, inclusive what we heard from mayor bloomberg, which was new york city 19 billion on its own. we heard from governor christie from new jersey, 29.4 billion. i think this san old number, keep trying to get a newer one, 360 million right now, where they are. come here andly it up, total estimated costs, 72 billion. kbred we got another piece of data from airport. r worldwide i 16 to 22 billion for insured costs. folks, we have called the new york and new jersey governments to find out if this number is in here, we don't know. it is either 72 or 90 billion, as we start to figure this out. we do know this air number

there is a hess terminal as well. these are the two big terminals here. they don't have power. we've been hearing from a number of sources that different ports have been called, most in the jersey area are down. the port of newark, they don't have power. a few of them are starting to come back with generator power. let's give you an update on where things stand. the biggest one here in bayonne, still down. don't have power, although morton bouchard says they are likely to come back by the beginning of next week. some sources are hearing that they might come back even sooner. it doesn't appear that there is any physical damage. at least you can't see that here from the water. the terminals in long island are up. some of them with generator power. they are obtaining generator power. couple of boats in fact were moving -- don't mean to make you you sea sick but the tide is coming out so we're moving a little bit here on the boat. mr. bouchard saying in fact one of the tankers that was headed up to albany that he was manning diverted over to long island because the oil companies ar

gulf oil and hess have both said that they will deliver gasoline with the national guard and fema to any gas station that is not giving out gas because they are out of gas. we are on top of the gas situation. >> suarez: frustration was also at a boil on new york city's staten island, where local officials complained they've been largely ignored since monday's storm. >> this is america, not a third world nation. we need food, we need clothing. >> suarez: another fight was brewing over running the new york city marathon sunday morning beginning on staten island. new york city mayor michael bloomberg defended the decision. >> it doesn't use resources that can really make a difference in recovery and that sort of thing. it's a different group of people. we have to work around the clock for people to get through this thing, and i assure you we're doing that. if i thought it took any resources away from that we would, we would not do this. >> bloomberg reversed course and announced the marathon was canceled. further adding to the frustration of many, the power was still off for well over t
