ART TORRES, CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND HIS REPUBLICAN COUNTERPART, RON NEHRING, EACH SAY THEY ARE EACH OPTIMISTIC ABOUT CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTION RACES. THEY EXPLAINED PREDICTIONS TODAY DURING A SACRAMENTO PRESS CLUB FACE-OFF.
SUPER: TODAY/SACRAMENTO
VO: (:25)
MUCH OF THE DISCUSSION CENTERED ON RESULTS OF AN ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL RELEASED TODAY, WHICH INDICATES JOHN MCCAIN AND BARACK OBAMA ARE ESSENTIALLY RUNNING EVEN AMONG LIKELY VOTERS IN THE ELECTION HOMESTRETCH. THE POLL SUPPORTS RECENT SPECULATION FROM POLITICAL ANALYSTS THAT THE RACE NARROWED FOLLOWING THE THIRD PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. TORRES SAYS MOST POLLS STILL INDICATE OBAMA IS LEADING, BUT NEHRING SAYS POLLS ARE ALSO INDICATING THE RACE ISN'T OVER.
SUPER: RON NEHRING/CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN PARTY
SOT: (:16)
SAYS: "WE HAVE POLLS THAT SHOW THIS THING ALL OVER..., ...AND GET THE MESSAGE OUT TO VOTERS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE DOING."
SUPER: ART TORRES/CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
SOT: (:09)
SAYS: "THERE WILL BE A NEW POLL THAT'S EMBARGOED UNTIL..., ...AS WELL AS MANY OF OUR LEGISLATIVE RACES."
VO TAG:
BOTH STATE POLITICAL PARTY CHAIRMEN SAY THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE IN PARTICULAR IS GOING TO REMAIN VOLATILE UNTIL ELECTION DAY. THEY SAY A KEY REASON IS UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
