. >> good morning, richard li, environmental health. we support this legislation as the main agency for restaurants. this is an opportunity to recognize our clients for leadership and innovation. we would like to work with the small business commission and supervisors to develop a criteria and selection process to determine which restaurants would get this recognition. some of the areas that we are considering to include for leadership -- innovations in cuisine, environmental conservation and sustainability, use of local, regional food, improve food access in underserved communities, community work, and nutrition. since we do check for compliance, we want to make sure the restaurants that are being recognized are in compliance with our food safety regulations. labour code regulations and other laws. what we are thinking of doing is taking nominations for restaurants in these different categories and then recognizing approximately five of these restaurants in each category. then we would have a committee to make the final selection. then

a guy, bill clinton, who lost his law license for perjury and he's talking about a guy richard blumenthal who liedades about his war record. and as far as the lady with the witchcraft, does anyone remember the seances in the white house when hillary was the first lady, not the secretary of state. she was communicating with eleanor roosevelt? i don't believe christine o'donnell has claimed she communicated with the dead. >> charles, you think democrats should be careful including former president bill clinton, be careful about saying things like this? >> absolutely. i think the prominent democrats that are out on the campaign trails should be somewhat careful of being somewhat dismisssive of tea party candidates. you know, i think this kind of leaves them wide open for republicans to attack the former president has being somewhat elitist and somewhat chauvinistic. how could he be? he was very supportive of his wife. don't take these tea party candidates for granted. >> neil, you agree? >> first of all, i find bill clinton mocking anybody is absolutely bizarre. i mean, after all, if we want to talk

richard blumenthal. remember him? he's the guy who lied about serving in vietnam.p. the president will attend two fund-raisers tonight. remember obama carried connecticut overwhelmingly two years ago, but his poll numbers are down as well and the economy is still struggling, so the question is, could the president be a drag on richard blumenthal's campaign to win the seat of retiring senator chris dodd. blumenthal has been in politics for decades. but the polls show him six points ahead. that's down from a 17 point lead in july and a 33 point lead in march. he's running against republican and former pro wrestling executive linda mcmahon who is pumping millions of dollars into her race there. it's a tight race at this point. to help, the president will attend a flashy fund-raiser. it happens to be an enemy territory at a gated estate, the same gated estate and community where linda mcmahon lives. her campaign says they'll pump $50 million into that race if that's what it takes to win. the president is hoping to help blumenthal on the money front at least tonight wit

connecticut attorney general richard blumenthal by only five points this is the closest that race has been since may when blumenthal's campaign was reeling from allegations that he lied about his service in vietnam. another race we are watching is in massachusetts. a stunning new poll has governor patrick leading his republican opponent charlie baker by only a single point. as we saw earlier this year with scott brown's come from behind victory, anything is possible even in the bluest of blue states. that includes california, where the longtime ultra liberal senator barbara boxer is in the fight for her political life. now the left leaning san francisco chronicle has announced for the first time it will not endorse boxer, saying she's responsible for "18 years of uninspired representation." not a ringing endorsement. here with us a author of 2010 take back america, dick morris. welcome back, good to see you. you are in pennsylvania toomey still up by eight points there. wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio, certainly a bellwether for what we can expect in 36 days? >> absolutely. i'm here in pennsylvania. i was campaigning for kim burns who lost the special election to critz

. >> senate candidate richard bloomenthal from connecticut said he served in vietnam when he didn't. >> i apologize for those mistakes. >> and representative mark kirk liedut awards he had won and said he did not remember events correctly and miscommunicated others. jennifer duffy says this about o'donnell's problems. >> the tea party came out of nowhere and there is no organization and no hierarchy, so they are backing candidates that they never vetted. >> reporter: but what about any lasting damage? i asked cn senior political editor mark preston. do these problems hurt them at the polls right now? >> look at each race separately. in illinois, the fact that mark kirk acknowledged the flubs months ago show he has gotten over it and that is a tight race and not hurting him. move up to connecticut the reason that linda mcmahon is moving up on bloomenthal is not because of the vietnam record, but because she is a successful businesswoman. and in delaware, many people don't think she is a good candidate whether she has misstated her history and past. >> reporter: questions about backgrounds are not restricted to candidates themselves. in new york, carl pal
