TALKING POLITICS AT NOON.

THE PRESIDENT STARTS ANOTHER FOUR YEARS WITH A DIVIDED CONGRESS.

THE BIGGEST ISSUE NOW IS THE LOOMING "FISCAL CLIFF" OF SPENDING CUTS AND TAX INCREASES.

POLITICS TODAY-PKG

FRESH OFF HIS WEDNESDAY MORNING VICTORY LAP.

IT WAS DE JA VU ALL OVER AGAIN FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA, BACK TO THE DECIDEDLY LESS GLAMOROUS BUSINESS OF TRYING TO NAVIGATE WHAT IS STILL A VERY POLARIZED WASHINGTON.

HOURS BEFORE HE LANDED BACK IN DC, THE PRESIDENT -- WHO HAS INSISTED ON THE TAX INCREASES FOR THE RICH -- SPOKE BY PHONE WITH HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER TO BEGIN TALKS ON HOW TO PREVENT THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY FROM GOING OVER THE SO-CALLED FISCAL CLIFF.

BOEHNER SOT:

in order to garner Republican support for new revenues, the president must be willing to reduce spending and shore up entitlement programs that are the primary drivers of our debt.

WHILE THE PRESIDENT HAS HINTED IN THE PAST HE'S WILLING TO INCLUDE SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE IN THE FISCAL NEGOTIATIONS, THE REST OF THIS PARTY MAY NOT GO ALONG.

REID SOT:

its better to dance than to fight. its better to work together. everything doesn't have to be a fight. everything doesn't have to be a fight. that's the way its been the last couple years.:12

MEANWHILE, ROMNEY'S LOSS HAS PROMPTED HANDWRINGING AND A BLAME-GAME AMONG REPUBLICANS.

COOK

i think it's going to be a circular firing squad for the next six months in the republican party.

EXIT POLLS SHOWED REPUBLICANS LOST BY WIDE MARGINS AMONG LATINOS, AFRICAN-AMERICANS, ASIAN AMERICANS, AND WOMEN.

LIMBAUGH:

Don't tell me the Republican Party doesn't have outreach. We do. But what are we supposed to do now? In order to get the Hispanic or Latino vote, does that mean open the borders and embrace the illegals?/ If we're not getting the female vote, do we become pro-choice? Do we start passing out birth control pills? Is that what we have to do?

COOK

if the republican party were a business, you would say that they have a flawed business model for the future

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.

"ANOTHER BREEZY AND COOL DAY"

"A COOL DAY WITH BRILLIANT SUNSHINE"

You could definitely feel the change in the airmass yesterday as highs peaked only into the lower to middle 70s, which kept us a good 10° below the norm for this time of year. Thursday looks like a repeat performance as cooler and drier air filters down the state.

We started the day with a few patchy clouds and morning lows in the mid 50s. Throughout the day a breezy northerly wind will allow some even drier and cooler air to filter down the spine of the peninsula. This will allow the bright sunshine to return to Southwest Florida. Despite our sunny skies during the afternoon, temperatures will only climb into the lower 70s with very comfortable humidity levels.

Thursday night looks to be the chilliest of the week. Temperatures will plummet into the upper 40s to low 50s along the urban corridor with a few middle 40s across our inland and northern communities under clear skies.

It will be a spectacular finish to the work week as high pressure remains in control of our weather pattern with plentiful sunshine, low humidity, and temperatures in the upper 70s. By the weekend, our winds will take more of an easterly turn, which will bring a bit of low level moisture across the state. By Saturday and Sunday, expect a few more clouds dotting the sky with temperatures recovering back into the lower 80s.

AVOIDING COUNTERFEITS-VO IN PLASMA

THANKS JIM.

AS YOU START YOUR HOLIDAY GIFT LIST, RETAILERS WANT YOU TO REMEMBER, SHOPPING ONLINE CAN BE A GREAT WAY TO SNAG A GREAT DEAL.

BUT NOT ALL INTERNET MERCHANTS ARE CREATED EQUALLY.

AND LOW PRICES CAN BLIND YOU FROM SPOTTING COUNTERFEIT ITEMS.

AVOIDING COUNTERFEITS-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --

AMERICANS LOVE DEALS ON DESIGNER ITEMS. AND SCAMMERS KNOW IT.

CLOTHING, SHOES AND HANDBAGS ARE AMONG THE MOST POPULAR ITEMS FOR COUNTERFEITERS, SO DO SOME HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU BUY.

Before you go ahead and jump on that deal, check out a merchant -- especially one you're unfamiliar with -- ahead of time. Go online, put the merchants name in a search engine, and the words "rip-off" and "complaint" and see what other people that have dealt with them are saying.

-- LOOK FOR SECURITY FEATURES LIKE A SEAL OR A STICKER A REAL MANUFACTURER WILL ADD THAT'S HARD TO REPRODUCE.

-- SOME MAJOR LABELS WILL OFFER ADVICE ON AVOIDING COUNTERFEITS ON THEIR COMPANY WEBSITES.

-- BEWARE OF LOW PRICES SIMPLY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

-- AND USE A CREDIT CARD FOR PURCHASES, WHICH CAN OFFER GREATER PROTECTION THAN A DEBIT CARD IN THE EVENT OR FRAUD.

IF YOU DO GET DUPED, DON'T TRY TO RESELL THE MERCHANDISE.

Even if you tell somebody, this isn't a real "whatever" handbag but it's still a great bag, you're still liable -- you could really get in trouble, you could really get prosecuted. So don't resell it.

IF YOU MISSED THE MOMENT LIVE, LET'S RE-LIVE IT.

President Obama has been re-elected.

President of the United States.

It was a hard fought battle.

The Colbert Report is ready to project that CNN has projected that Animal Planet has predicted that the winner of 2012 presidential election is Barack Obama.

TALK ABOUT A THOUGHTFUL PUNDIT. AFTER PAINTING A BLEAK PICTURE OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SECOND TERM, FOX COMMENTATOR DR. CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER JOKED.

So as a psychiatrist I will offer to write prescriptions for anybody who needs them right now.

BUT OBAMA SUPPORTERS WERE ECSTATIC. CNN EVEN CUT AWAY TO SOME IN KENYA. SPEAKING OF WHICH.

WHAT WOULD AN ELECTION NIGHT BE WITHOUT A DONALD TRUMP ANGLE?

AFTER MITT ROMNEY'S LOSS, TRUMP TWEETED THIS ELECTION IS A TOTAL SHAM AND TRAVESTY.WE SHOULD HAVE A REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY WHICH PROMPTED NBC'S BRIAN WILLIAMS TO LAUNCH THIS ZINGER.

Donald Trump who has driven well past the last exit to relevance.

THE EXIT FOR MITT ROMNEY WAS OHIO, BUT AFTER FOX NEWS CALLED OHIO FOR OBAMA, THE NETWORK'S OWN BEST KNOWN COMMENTATOR OBJECTED.

We gotta be careful about calling things.

That's awkward

ONCE KARL ROVE QUESTIONED THE CALL BY FOX'S DECISION DESK, MEGYN KELLY WALKED BACK THERE.

Whoa careful.

Keep coming here we go.

We're actually quite comfortable with call on Ohio

BUT THE ANCHOR WHO GOT THE MOST FLAK WAS ABC'S DIANE SAWYER.

Ok can we have music because this is another big one here.

President Barack Orama Obama has won Minnesota.

SOMEONE ELSE TWEETED AND DIANE SAWYER DECLARES TONIGHT'S WINNER IS.CHARDONNAY. OFFICIALLY ABC WOULDN'T COMMENT BUT STAFFERS SUGGEST DIANE WAS JUST EXHAUSTED FROM HURRICANE COVERAGE AND DEBATE PREP.

AND WHAT'S AN ANCHOR SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN SHE GETS A CALL OF NATURE WHILE SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF CALLING STATES?

I came back from the bathroom and said that Colorado still too close to call. Nobody told me while in bathroom Colorado went for President Obama. thank you guys. I really appreciate it.
