JOBS AND THE HOUSING MARKET ARE ON THE MINDS OF MANY VOTERS ESPECIALLY HERE IN THE SWING STATE OF FLORIDA.

BOTH THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION OF THE RACE ON OUR BOTTOM LINE.

POLITICS TODAY-PKG

This morning, the Romney campaign is in crises mode -- scrambling to explain

a secretly recorded tape where Romney tells wealthy donors nearly half of

all Americans see themselves as "victims."

Mother Jones, a left-leaning magazine, posted clips of what they say is

Romney talking at a fundraiser back in May.

Mother Jones did not release Romney's full remarks.

In one of the clips, the candidate says there's a number of Americans who

will vote for President Obama no matter what.

AUDIO SOT - Romney

"THERE ARE 47 PERCENT WHO ARE WITH HIM, WHO ARE DEPENDENT UPON GOVERNMENT,

WHO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE VICTIMS, WHO BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT HAS A

RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE FOR THEM, WHO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO

HEALTH CARE, TO FOOD, TO HOUSING, TO YOU-NAME-IT."

In another clip, Romney talks about voters who do not pay income taxes.

AUDIO SOT - Romney

"SO MY JOB IS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. I'LL NEVER CONVINCE THEM THEY

SHOULD TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CARE FOR THEIR LIVES. WHAT I HAVE

TO IS CONVINCE THE FIVE- TO TEN-PERCENT IN THE CENTER."

The Obama campaign seized on Romney's comments. Campaign manager Jim Messina

, saying in a statement:

"It's shocking that a candidate for President of the United States

would go behind closed doors and declare to a group of wealthy donors that

half the American people view themselves as 'victims,' entitled to handouts,

and are unwilling to take 'personal responsibility' for their lives."

At a quickly arranged press conference late last night, Romney tried to

explain his words.

SOT Romney

"IT'S NOT ELEGANTLY STATED. LET ME PUT IT THAT WAY. / OF COURSE,

INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR THEIR LIFE. AND MY CAMPAIGN

IS ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE TO TAKE MORE RESPONSIBLITY AND BECOMING EMPLOYED

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"Drier morning, afternoon storms"

After a wet start to the week, each and every day our weather will continue to improve. A cold front located across north central Florida will remain draped across the Peninsula today, while it weakens and eventually washes out.

Our morning will more than likely start off mostly dry with patchy clouds and temperatures in the middle 70s. With a few more sunnier spells in the forecast this afternoon, highs will be a bit warmer as they climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s.

With plenty of moisture still across the area, a few scattered showers and storms will develop primarily during the afternoon and favor our inland communities as our steering winds remain light out of the southwest.

Tonight, a few lingering showers are possible before our skies begin to clear and lows will settle into the middle 70s under quiet conditions

Friday and into the weekend, easterly flow will return bringing back our sunny and dry mornings with mainly afternoon downpours.

barreling towards me right now where would I go. how would I react. And

it's just something that you have to do stay sharp and just be prepared that

anything can happen. I think that anyone that's been in that situation and

would have had that opportunity, would have reacted the same way and would

have been happy to put someone else before themslelves and take that

response."

IS MICROWAVE POPCORN DEADLY?

A COLORADO JURY AWARDED ONE MAN MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS BECAUSE HE CLAIMS THE AIR RELEASED FROM THE POPCORN BAG SEVERELY DAMAGED HIS LUNGS.

POPCORN VERDICT-PKG

Microwave popcorn was a favorite snack of Wayne Watson's.

That was until about six years ago, when he had trouble breathing.

"I've lost about 50 percent of my lung capacity."

Diagnosed with a disease.

"The disease is called bronchiolitis obliterans."

That makes getting air, tough.

"Going up and down stairs, going to the mountains."

Doctors concluded it was caused by the fumes that were released when

he microwaved his popcorn.

Mr. Watson sued the company.saying it failed to warn him of the

risks.

After a two and a half week trial, a jury awarded him seven million

dollars.

"It's the truth. And that's why we won this case. Because the truth

was on our side."

The chemical in question is no longer used in popcorn.

Yet his attorney is handling five other similar cases.

He hopes the size of the award sends a message.

"I think that unfortunately is the history of our country. That

large verdicts that tend to get companies to do what's right."

While the money will help, it's won't cure Watson, his lungs are so

shot

A) BROKEN IPHONE-2 SHOT SOT VO

LAST HORRAH FOR APPLE-VO TOPS

THE IPHONE 5 IS ALREADY A BEST-SELLER, WITH A RECORD TWO MILLION PRE-SALE ORDERS -- BUT SOME ANALYSTS SAY THIS COULD BE THE LAST MAJOR SELLER FOR APPLE.

MACQUARIE SECURITIES SAYS 57 PERCENT OF AMERICAN WIRELESS CUSTOMERS NOW OWN SMART-PHONES, AND THE NUMBER COULD HIT 70 PERCENT NEXT YEAR.

EXPERTS SAY THAT'S THE SATURATION POINT.

BROKEN IPHONE-2 SHOT TRAFFIC

ABOUT ONE IN THREE I-PHONE OWNERS HAVE DENTED, BRUISED, CRACKED OR SHATTERED

THAT EXPENSIVE LITTLE DEVICE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO NEW NUMBERS THAT ALSO SHOW MANY OF THEM ARE STILL USING THEIR BROKEN PHONES

BROKEN IPHONE-PKG

2532 wanna make sure you keep that space between the shoulder and the

ear? 03 "

MITCH RICE IS A PERSONAL TRAINER.

WE'VE INTERVIEWED HIM BEFORE, ABOUT PERSONAL TRAINING.

BUT THIS TIME. IT'S EVEN "MORE" PERSONAL:

" 2732 i am holding my broken iphone four. 04

THOUGH HE'S A MASTER OF COORDINATION WITH A PAIR OF DUMBELLS. WHEN IT

COMES TO HIS IPHONE. MITCH. IS A KLUTZ.

" 2859 i do, i drop it all the time! -

03 b

AND APPARENTLY, SO DOES HIS CO-WORKER DEBORAH NEWMAN.

" 3023 D: we broke them only a couple of days apart. it

's been a bonding experience. 07

" 4534 mitch and deborah may be fitness deities here in the gym, but

out in the world, they're just another statistic. two out of the millions

of americans whose coveted iphones have tumbled to their demise. 10 "

" 45 iphone 4S is glass on both sides. "

SQUARETRADE, WHICH SELLS EXTENDED WARRANTIES, HAS DROP-TESTED THE IPHONE

4-S EXTENSIVELY.

" 55 ohhhh wow. that's not good. that's not very good. 04 "

NOW, THEY'VE RELEASED A STUDY SUGGESTING AMERICANS HAVE SPENT 5.9 BILLION

DOLLARS REPAIRING THEIR BROKEN IPHONES.

MOST OFTEN BECAUSE THE PHONE SLIPPED OUT OF THEIR HANDS.

BUT THE SECOND MOST COMMON FATE -- FALLING INTO WATER.

" 337 they drop em into toilets, swimming pools, sinks. -41 "

SQUARETRADE SAYS MISSISSIPPI IS THE CLUMSIEST STATE -- IOWA IS THE MOST

CAREFUL.

BUT WHEREVER YOU BROKE YOUR PHONE. THERE'S A ONE IN SIX CHANCE YOU

HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED.

" 1307 a lot of people are walking around right now with broken

devices. 04 "

" 1324 and six percent of people are walking around with tape on

their iphones. 03 "

FOR MITCH RICE, A LITTLE TAPE. MIGHT GO A LONG WAY.

" 3258 I keep getting glass in my hands and in my fingers. But I

actually think it looks pretty cool.

NOT QUITE AS COOL AS THE NEW IPHONE "FIVES" HE AND DEBORAH ARE "BOTH"

GETTING IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
