TONIGHT THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY CAMPAIGN TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, WITH DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE WEIGHING IN THE BALANCE. I'M RUSS MITCHELL. ALSO TONIGHT A MASSIVE THANKSGIVING IN CHILE TO CELEBRATE LAST WEEK'S DRAMATIC RESCUE OF THE 33 TRAPPED MINERS. A REFUGEE'S PLEAGE TO STAY THE U.S. IN THE FACE OF CHARGES THAT SHE OFFERED SUPPORT TO TERRORISTS. AND SECRET MISSION, A 95-YEAR- OLD HERO OF WORLD WAR II IS HONORED AT LAST FOR SAVING HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN AIRMEN. THIS IS THE "CBS EVENING NEWS" WITH RUSS MITCHELL. >> Mitchell: AND GOOD EVENING IT IS NOW 16 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY. AND THE NEGATIVE OUTLOOK FOR DEMOCRATS IS LEADING THE WHITE HOUSE TO STEP UP ITS GAME. WITH POLLS SHOWING CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND POSSIBLY THE SENATE RISK, PRESIDENT OBAMA IS CAMPAIGNING TONIGHT WITH THE HELP OF HIS NUMBER ONE ALLY. WE BEGIN OUR COVERAGE WITH CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT CHIP REID WHO IS WITH THE PRESIDENT IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. CHIP, GOOD EVENING. >> WELL, GOOD EVENING, RUSS. YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME THERE IS ALREADY A GOOD CROWD HERE AT OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY FOR THIS EVENING'S RALLY. THE PRESIDENT HOPES IT WILL HELP FIRE UP YOUNG VOTERS. AND HE'S COUNTING ON A BIG BOOST FROM THE FIRST L ADY>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY ARRIVED IN CLEVELAND TO RAISE DESPERATELY NEEDED MONEY FOR OHIO DEMOCRATS AND TO HELP RALLY THE PARTY FAITHFUL. IT'S THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2008 THAT THEY'VE CAMPAIGNED TOGETHER. WHILE HE ATTACKS REPUBLICANS, HER FOCUS IS FAMILY AND CHILDREN. SHE EVEN CALLS HERSELF MOM IN CHIEF. >> AND OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE ABLE LOOK BACK AND SAY THAT WE KEPT THE FAITH WITH THE VALUES WE WERE RAISED WITH. >> Reporter: IT'S NOT JUST HER HIGHER APPROVAL RATINGS THAT MAKE HER A CAMPAIGN ASSET. >> THE FIRST LADY ALLOWS THE COUNTRY TO SEE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE PRESIDENT, A HUMANIZING SIDE. AND THAT PLAYS WELL WITH MANY AMERICANS. >> Reporter: THIS PAST WEEK MRS. OBAMA CAMPAIGNED IN BATTLEGROUND STATES WITH ILLINOIS, WISCONSIN AND COLORADO AND WILL GO TO CONNECTICUT, AND CALIFORNIA BUT THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY SAVED THE DOUBLE-BARRELED APPEARANCE FOR ALL IMPORTANT OHIO. TWO YEARS AGO THIS STATE HELPED SWEEP THE PRESIDENT TO VICTORY BUT NOW WITH THE ECONOMY HERE IN DISTRESS, DEMOCRATS FEAR THEY COULD GO DOWN IN FLAMES. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR TED STRICTLAND IS STRUGGLING IN HIS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN, SENATE CANDIDATE LEE FISHER IS BEHIND IN THE POLLS AND SEATS OF SIX DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE IN JEOPARDY, SO MANY THAT OHIO WILL PLAY A KEY ROLE IN GIVING CONTROL OF THE HOUSE TO THE REPUBLICANS. ONE KEY QUESTION, ARE THE DEMOCRATS STRUGGLES HERE AND FROM COAST-TO-COAST ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE PRESIDENT. REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC STRATEGISTS SHARPLY DISAGREE. >> I THINK IT'S CLEARLY A REFEREND ON HIM AND ABSOLUTELY ON THE ECONOMY. THE DEBT AND SPENDING IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE VERY NERVOUS ABOUT. >> GOVERNOR DEAN. >> OF COURSE I DISAGREE. I THINK THE ECONOMY IS THE BIG PROBLEM, OF COURSE EVERY ADMINISTRATION, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT HAS PROBLEMS WHEN THE ECONOMY IS IN TROUBLE. >> Reporter: LATER THIS WEEK, THE PRESIDENT WILL CAMPAIGN ON THE WEST COAST IN CALIFORNIA, OREGON AND WASTINGTON. TWO YEARS AGO ALL THREE OF THOSE STATES WERE SAFELY IN THE DEMOCRATIC COLUMN. NOW ALL THREE ARE UP FOR GRABS, RUSS? >> Mitchell: WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW CONCERNED THE WHITE HOUSE REALLY IS ABOUT ELECTION DAY AND HOW UGLY COULD BE AS SOME DEMOCRATS AS YOU POINTED OUT, ARE PREDICTING? >> WELL, IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM PUBLICLY ROBERT GIBBS TODAY FOR EXAMPLE ON THE MORNING TALK SHOW SAID THEY ARE CONFIDENT THEY WILL HANG ON TO THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE. BEHIND THE SCENES THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE DEEPLY WORRIED THEY COULD LOSE THE HOUSE AND EVEN A BIT WORRIED THEY COULD LOSE THE SENATE. >> Mitchell: CHIP REID WITH THE PRESIDENT IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, THANK YOU. AND LET'S TURN TO THE CRITICAL CONTEST WE'RE FOLLOWING, IN THE RACE FOR CONTROL OF CONGRESS. WE BEGIN IN WASHINGTON STATE WHERE THE BATTLE FOR U.S. SENATE IS GETTING MORE ROUGH- AND-TUMBLE BY THE DAY. PATTY KAUFMAN HAS THE LATEST. >> HI, HOW ARE YOU. >> Reporter: SENATOR PATTY MURRAY THE SELF-PROCIM MOM IN TENNIS SHOES HAS LACED THEM UP AGAIN. >> GOOD MORNING. >> Reporter: RUNNING FOR A FOURTH TERM IN A YEAR WHEN MANY INCUMBENTS ARE RUNNING SCARED. >> IT'S WHAT I DO. >> Reporter: 18 YEARS AGO MURRAY SWEPT INTO OFFICE AS A POLITICAL OUTSIDER. TODAY SHE IS THE POWERFUL FOURTH RANKING SENATE DEMOCRAT. ON THE STUMP SHE TOUTS HER CLOUT. >> I WILL MAKE SURE YOUR TAX DOLLAR GOES TO BUILD MILITARY AIRPLANES HERE IN EVER NOT OVER IN EUROPE. >> Reporter: BUT SHE'S UP AGAINST AN ANGRY ELECTORATE. >> WE'RE SICK AND TIRED OF THE GARBAGE THAT IS GOING ON IN WASHINGTON D.C.. >> Reporter: REPUBLICAN DINO ROSSI HAS PAINTED HER AS A D.C. INSIDE NEVER HARD HITTING CAMPAIGN ADS. >> VOTING WITH PELOSI AND REID FOR THE BECAUSE WALL STREET BAILOUT. >> Reporter: ROSSI IS WELL- KNOWN, HE IS WAS NEARLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT IN 2004. WITH THE STATE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE NEAR 9% HE BLAMES MURRAY WHENEVER HE CAN. >> WE HAVE AN 18 YEAR INCUMBENT KILLING JOBS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FROM VOTE AFTER VOTE AFTER VOTE. >> Reporter: DEMOCRATS NATIONWIDE ARE DESPERATE FOR THE WIN. >> IF YOU ARE LOSING STATES THAT THE PRESIDENT CARRIED BY 17 POINTS, THAT SPELLS A LOT OF TROUBLE. >> Reporter: THE PARTY'S BIGEST STARS ARE FLOODING IN TO FIRE UP THE FAITHFUL, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT WHO WILL MAKE HIS SECOND CAMPAIGN STOP ON THURSDAY. >> MAKE SURE YOU SEND HER BACK TO WASHINGTON, PLEASE. >> Reporter: ROSS SYBRINGING IN THE ARTILLERY AS WELL. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS PLEDGED TO SPEND $4 MILLION IN THE FINAL WEEKS OF THE CAMPAIGN, BLANKETING THE AIRWAVES WITH ATTACK ADS. BUT MURRAY IS NOT BACKING DOWN. GOING AFTER ROSSI FOR HIS TIES TO BIG BANKS AND HIS SUPPORT FOR BUSH ERA TAX CUTS. >> WE CANNOT GO BACK TO THE BUSH ECONOMIC POLICIES WHERE WE WENT TO WAR WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT AND HAD TAX CUT WAS PAYING FOR IT. HE SAID RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT'S WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO. >> Reporter: MURRAY HAS PULLED AHEAD IN RECENT POLLS BUT ROSSI HAS THREE TIMES THE CASH. WITH SO MUCH ON THE LINE IT WON'T SURPRISE ANYONE IF THIS RACE GOES DOWN TO THE WIRE. PATTY KAUFMAN, CBS NEWS, LOS ANGELES. >> Mitchell: NOW TO FLORIDA WHERE SEVERAL U.S. HOUSE SEATS COULD HOLD THE KEY TO JUST WHO WILL RUN CONGRESS. ONE RACE IN PARTICULAR HAS A DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENT FACINNTA REPUBLICAN WHO HAS A FAMILIAR NAME AND SUPPORTERS WITH BIG BANK ACCOUNTS. MICHELLE MILLER HAS MORE. >> Reporter: FRESHMAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN GRAYSON CONSIDERS HIMSELF A FIGHTER. >> WE WILL SHOW CENTRAL FLORIDA THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE. >> Reporter: WHETHER TAKING ON THE FORECLOSURE MESS. >> BANKS ARE TAKING HOMES THAT DON'T BELONG TO THEM. >> Reporter: OR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> THEIR NUMBER ONE TARGET IN THIS ELECTION IS ME. >> Reporter: THAT'S BECAUSE THIS LAWYER, FORMER BUSINESSMAN AND ECONOMIST HAS GAINED NOTORIETY FOR HIS PARTISAN REMARKS ON THE HOUSE FLOOR. >> THE REPUBLICAN HEALTH-CARE PLAN FOR AMERICA, DON'T GET SICK. >> Reporter: AND IF YOU DO GET SICK THEIR BACKUP PLAN IS DIE QUICK >> Reporter: GRAYSON WON A SWING DISTRICT IN ORLANDO TWO YEARS AGO RIDING PRESIDENT OBAMA'S COAT TALES IF HE WON FLORIDA. EXCEPT FOR THE TROOP SURGE IN AFGHANISTAN THE CONGRESSMAN HAS SUPPORTED THE PRESIDENT ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM THE ECONOMIC STIMULUS TO HEALTH-CARE REFORM. A CONSERVATIVE WHO BACKS BALANCING THE BUDGET AND OPPOSES ALL ABORTIONS, WEBSTER SAYS GRAY SKON AND THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE OUT OF TOUCH. >> THE PROCESS IS BROKEN. THE POLICY BROKEN. THE WAY THEY CAMPAIGN IS BROKEN. HE IS PART OF THAT. >> Reporter: A SMALL-BUSINESS OWNER AND A STATE LEGISLATOR FOR 28 YEARS, WEBSTER SAYS FEDERAL SPENDING IS OUT OF CONTROL. >> THE KEY IS JUST TURNING OFF THE SPIGOT, IT'S LIKE BUYING THE CAR, YOU BORROW THE MONEY TO BUY THE CAR BUT MAKE PAYMENTS ON THE MONEY YOU BORROWED TO PAY THE CAR. IT'S TOO MUCH. >> Reporter: THIS CLOSE CAMPAIGN COMES DOWN TO MOTIVATING THE BASE. DOOR-TO-DOOR AND ON THE AIR. OUTSIDE GROUPS ALIGNED WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE SPENDING MILLIONS ON ANTI-GRAYSON ADS. >> WHEN IT COMES TO NANCY PELOSI, BIG BARKER GRAYSON TURNS INTO A LAP DOG. >> Reporter: THE INCUMBENT MAY BE ON THE ROPES BUT MAKES NO APOLOGY FOR BEING BLUNT. >> Reporter: I'M JUST TELLING IT LIKE IT IS, HOW IT HONESTLY LOOKS TO ME. THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF POSE THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF ACT. >> Reporter: IN TWO WEEKS HE'LL KNOW IF HE WILL BE BACK. >> GO GET IT. >> Reporter: FOR ANOTHER ROUND. MICHELLEILBS NS, NEW YORK. >> Mitchell: AND FOR MORE PERSPECTIVE ON CAMPAIGN 2010, WE ARE JOINED BY OUR SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT JEFF GREENFIELD, GOOD EVENING. >> GOOD EVENING. >> Mitchell: YOU HAVE BEEN OUT AND ABOUT TRAVELING THE COUNTRY, WHAT ARE VOTERS TELLING YOU? >> I THINK WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY SAYING, NOT IN SO MANY WORDS, IS THAT THAT FAMOUS OBSERVATION OF HOUSE SPEAKER TIP O'NEILL THAT ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL, IT'S JUST FLAT WRONG THIS YEAR. THERE IS A NATIONAL TIDE MOVING. AND WHEN YOU GO FROM STATE TO STATE YOU GET THE FEELING YOU ARE ON GROUNDHOG DAY BECAUSE YOU HEAR THE SAME STORY. THE EXCITEMENT OF TWO YEARS AGO FOR DEMOCRATS IS GONE. INDEPENDENTS ARE MOVING STRONGLY TOWARD REPUBLICANS. THE BASE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS ENERGIZED AND THE DEMOCRATS DON'T FEEL THEIR SUPPORTERS ARE. ALL ROOTED IN THE SENSE THAT THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA OF THE ECONOMY. AND THAT WHAT OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS REPRESENTED WHEN THEY WERE GIVEN THE POWER HAS NOT BEEN FULFILLED AND SO YOU SEE THINGS LIKE LONG-TERM DEMOCRATS IN DANGER. DEMOCRATS WHO SHOULD BE SAFE ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR POLITICAL LIVES AND THIS IS GOING ON FROM ONE END OF THE COUNTRY TO THE OTHER. >> Reporter: INTERESTING. SO THIS CLOSE TO ELECTION DAY, IF YOU ARE THE DEMOCRATS, WHAT DO YOU DO AT THIS POINT? >> WHAT YOU HOPE IS THAT THE DEMOCRATS WHO SHOWED UP AND VOTED FOR OBAMA AS FIRST TIME OR INFREQUENT WILL GET INVESTED IN THE MIDTERMS AND FEEL THAT WHAT THEY VOTED FOR IS AT RISK. BECAUSE IF THE KIND OF VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA PREDOMINANTLY AND WHO USUALLY DON'T SHOW UP AT MIDTERMS, YOUNGER VOTERS, AFRICAN- AMERICANS, HISPANICS, IF THEY TURN UP AND VOTE, THEN THE ESTIMATES WE ARE SEEING SO FAR BASED ON WHO IS LIKELY TO GO TO THE POLLS ARE WRONG AND MORE DEMOCRATS WILL SURVIVE. NO ONE THINKS IT'S GOING TO BE ANYTHING BUT A BAD YEAR FOR DEMOCRATS. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, A BAD THUNDERSTORM OR A HURRICANE, TO USE THE WEATHER METAPHORS EVERYBODY USES. >> Mitchell: LET ME ASK YOU THIS, AT THE END OF THE DAY HOW BIG A FACTOR IS THE TEA PARTY GOING TO BE IN ALL OF THIS? >> THEY'RE IMPORTANT. BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID THEY GET A LOT OF THEIR CANDIDATES NOMINATED AGAINST MORE TRADITIONAL REPUBLICANS BUT THERE WHERE A LOT OF THE ENERGY IS COMING FROM AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS A WHOLE HAS NOT PUSHED THEM AWAY AS INSURGENTS. THEY'VE EMBRACED THEM. SO THEY ARE A NEW FACT THEIR WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, I THINK. >> Mitchell: JEFF GREENFIELD, BACK FROM THE ROAD. WE'LL TALK AGAIN. THANKS A LOT. AND NOW WE WANT TO GIVE YOU THE LATEST ON THE CHILEAN MINERS. ONE IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL BUT THE REST ARE AT HOME. AND TODAY THEY CAME BACK TOGETHER TO PRAY AND GIVE THANKS. SETH DOANE JOINS US FROM CHILE WITH MORE. GOOD EVENING TO YOU. >> Reporter: GOOD EVENING, RUSS. RUSS, 70% OF CHILEANS ARE CATHOLIC. AND ON THIS SUNDAY, SURELY MANY REFLECTED ON A RESCUE WHICH SOME HAVE CALLED A MIRACLE. THIS MORNING THE SAN JOSE MINE WAS SHROUDED IN MIST BUT THE MEMORIES FOR MINERS AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE PERFECTLY CLEAR. FOR MOST IT WAS THEIR FIRST TIME BACK SINCE THE RESCUE. A DOZEN OR SO OF THE MINERS MADE THE TREK TO THIS REMOTE PLACE. SO THEY COULD JOIN TOGETHER IN A SUNDAY MASS OF THANKSGIVING. BEFORE THE SERVICE, WE MET JUAN- CARLOS AGUILAR. HE WAS THE 29th MAN OUT. AT 46 HE'S BEEN A MINER SINCE HE WAS 19. HE TOLD US TODAY, "I WANT TO BE BY MYSELF FOR A LITTLE WHILE." ADDING, "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE IN THERE." >> Reporter: IS IT DIFFICULT TO BE BACK HERE? "AFTER LIVING THROUGH SOMETHING SO BIG," HE SAID, "ALL OF US ARE GOING TO BE EMOTIONAL." SOME OF THE MINERS HAVE SAID THEY WANTED TO RETURN TO THIS PLACE NOT ONLY TO GIVE THANKS BUT TO SEE CAMP HOPE ITSELF. THE PLACE WHERE SO MANY FAMILIES HELD VIGIL FOR SO LONG. BUT SEEING IT THESE DAYS ISN'T EASY. THEY'RE MOBBED BY MEDIA. SO DURING THE MASS, REPORTERS WERE KEPT AWAY FROM THE WHITE TEMP WHERE WAS HELD. ONE OF THE MEN WHO HELPED MAKE THIS POSSIBLE RETURNED HOME TO DENVER, COLORADO, THIS WEEKEND. JEFF HART WAS AT THE CONTROLS WHEN THE PLAN B DRILL BROKE THROUGH TO THE MINERS LAST SATURDAY. WE MET HIM JUST A FEW HOUR AFTER THAT. YOU ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT? >> ON TOP OF THE WORLD. >> Reporter: HE WAS WELCOMED BACK A HERO. >> HARDER THAN ANYTHING WE'VE EVER DONE. THE STRESS OF KNOWING THERE ARE 33 GUYS UNDERNEATH YOUR FEET THAT THEY ARE RELYING ON YOU. >> Reporter: AND TODAY THEY ARE THANKING HART AND THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER RESCUERS WHO HELPED FREE THEM, RUSS. >> Mitchell: SETH DOANE IN CHILE WHO HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB ALL EK THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL BECAUSE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CLAIMS SHE GAVE MATERIAL SUPPORT TO TERRORISTS. >> Reporter: IN NOVEMBER 2008 ATHOLA A NATIVE OF UGANDA WAS KIDNAPPED AND HANDED OVER TO THE LORD'S RESISTENCE ARMY.

BUT THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECUTY IS CHALLENGING THE ORDER SAYING HER BEATING OF A FELLOW PRISONER SHOWS MATERIAL SUPPORT FOR TERRORISTS AND SHOULD BAR HER FROM RECEIVING ASYLUM. >> Repor WHEN CONGRESS PASSED THE PATRIOT ACT IT EXPANDED THE DEFINITION OF MATERIAL SUPPORT IN IMMIGRATION CASES. SINCE THEN, CHALLENGES TO ASYLUM APPLICATIONS HAVE INCREASED. MARY McCARTHY, DIRECTOR HE NATIONAL IMMIGRANT JUSTICE CENTER SAYS THOUSANDS OF LEGITIMATE REFUGEES ARE BEING TURNED AWAY. >> WE SEE CASES WHERE CLEARLY THAT INDIVIDUAL IS ENTITLED TO PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF ANY TERRORISM ACTIVITY. >> Reporter: SENATOR PATRICK LEAHEY IS SPONSORING A BILL TO CLARIFY THE MATERIAL SUPPORT PROVISION. >> MOST AMERICANS KNOW WHAT DUREST IS, MOST AMERICANS KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY IS FORCE MOOD DOING SOMETHING, WHAT I WANT IS OUR LAWS TO KNOW THAT TOO. >> Reporter: IN THE MEANTIME GINA'S LIFE IS ON HOLD, AS SHE CONSTANTLY REVISITS HER PAST. >> Mitchell: THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY DECLINED OUR REQUEST FOR AN INTERVIEW.
