YOUR VOICE YOUR VOTE, 2012-

NEW POLLS SHOW PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND MITT ROMNEY NECK AND NECK.

TODAY, ROMNEY IS IN THE CRITICAL BATTLE GROUND STATE OF OHIO-

AND TOMORROW, THE PRESIDENT RETURNS TO FLORIDA.

HE'S HOSTING A RALLY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI.

YOUR VOICE, YOUR VOTE-PKG

Dueling rallies in Ohio overnight.

The President trying to hold onto his shrinking lead here-

In front of a crowd of 15-thousand. his message tailor made:

"And when you think about Ohio, when Governor Romney said that we should let

the auto industry go bankrupt, we said no we're not going to take

your advice. Don't boo, vote! Cheers. And we reinvented a dying auto

industry that supports 1 in 8 Ohio jobs."

The newest poll

shows the President's lead tightening to just 4 points here in Ohio.

Mitt Romney trying to flip the scales-- knowing no Republican has won the

White House without Ohio.

"I've been watching some of President Obama's rallies and they chant four

more years, four more years. And today there are 28 days before the electon

. I think the right chant ought to be for them, four more weeks, four more

weeks."

But overnight, the Romney campaign answering questions about something else.

A new interview in which Romney discusses a crucial social issue abortion

.

**IN AN INTERVIEW, ROMNEY TELLING** The Des Moines Register:

"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that

would become part of my agenda."

A decidedly different tone from what Romney said about Roe v. Wade during

the primaries:

"Romney: Do I believe Supreme Court should overturn Roe. v. Wade? Yes!

**OR this about Planned Parenthood **BACK IN MARCH**.

"Romney: Planned Parenthood, I'm going to get rid of that."

The Obama campaign overnight pouncing.

"He said he'd be delighted to sign a bill banning all abortions and called

Roe v. Wade 'one of the darkest moments in Supreme Court history."

The Romney campaign saying this new interview was NO shift.

THE NEW ENGLAND COMPOUNDING CENTER -- OR N-E-C-C -- IS A MASSACHUSETTS-BASED PHARMACY THAT MADE THE CONTAMINATED INJECTIONS.

IT VOLUNTARILY RECALLED THREE LOTS OF THE STEROID AND HAS SURRENDERED ITS LICENSE TO OPERATE -- PENDING THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION INVESTIGATION.

MEANWHILE, THE HEAD OF A MASSACHUSETTS PHARMACY BOARD ASSURED THE PUBLIC THE N-E-C-C HAS RECALLED ALL THE IMPLICATED PRODUCTS.

On behalf of the board, I want to express our deepest sympathy for the patients and the families who have been impacted by this tragedy.

AND A FUNERAL TOOK PLACE TUESDAY FOR LILLIAN CARY -- ONE OF THE VICTIMS IN MICHIGAN.

The grief and disbelief that something like this had happened is still there, and, again like my father, we haven't really had much time to really get online and get to see what necessarily could be to blame for this, so the anger has not yet become a factor.

HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY 75 MEDICAL FACILITIES IN 23 STATES RECEIVED THE CONTAMINATED INJECTIONS.

THE C-D-C SAYS PEOPLE WITH FUNGAL MENINGITIS ARE TREATED WITH INTRAVENOUS ANTI-FUNGAL MEDICATION.

CROSSTALK INTO WX-CAM 9 WX EST

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

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

Dry, stable air is in the process of filtering into Southwest Florida, which will work to drastically lower our rain chances for the next several days.

Instead of tracking those afternoon showers and storms, we'll just be tracking sunshine and a few fair-weather clouds. By tonight and Thursday, we'll even get a break from the oppressively high humidity we've endured for the last several months.

Here's how our Monday breaks down. In a few areas , we'll start out with some patchy fog. Otherwise, we'll begin with a mostly clear sky and temperatures in the mid to low 70s. Sunshine will basically dominate our sky through the day with just some patchy clouds expected to float through during the afternoon. Daytime temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to near 90.

Our sky stays clear tonight as humidity levels start a modest descent. The lowering humidity combined with a clear sky and northerly wind will support low temperatures near 70 by early Thursday, and many locations may even cool to the upper 60s, especially inland.

The subtle drop in humidity will carry over into Thursday, making the air feel slightly more comfortable. Temperatures will still be rather warm, too, with daytime highs mainly in the upper 80s. A refreshing breeze will set up out of the east northeast from 5-15 mph, and we may even get gusts in the 20-25 mph range.

Thursday night will likely be the coolest as temperatures area wide dip into the upper 60. The urban corridor will be closer to upper 60s while the more rural settings cool to the middle 60s.

The beautiful weather also rolls along into Friday and Saturday. Both days will feature mainly sunny skies and dry conditions with highs in the upper 80s.

By Sunday, there should be enough moisture coming in with the easterly winds to produce a few hit-or-miss showers, but even then, most spots will stay dry.

BREAKING WINKLER OPEN-CLIP-NAVI

BREAKING NEWS JUST INTO THE ABC-7 NEWSROOM-

IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES WINKLER AVENUE EXTENSION HAS REOPENED-

THE ROAD HAD BEEN CLOSED FOR MOST OF THE MORNING AS A PART OF A SHOOTING INVESTIGATION.

2 PEOPLE WERE SHOT EARLY THIS MORNING ON WINKLER, NEAR THE BRITTANY BAY APARTMENTS.

OPEN ENROLLMENT TIPS-ONCAM

WE ARE JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY -- FROM OPEN ENROLLMENT SEASON-

THAT'S THE TIME WHEN YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR HEALTH CARE PLAN-

OPEN ENROLLMENT TIPS-PKG

OPEN ENROLLMENT CAN BE A TEDIOUS TASK FOR MANY PEOPLE.

BUT THIS YEAR -- CHOOSING YOUR HEALTH CARE COVERAGE COULD BE A LOT LESS STRESFFUL. IF YOU KNOW A FEW THINGS UP FRONT.

FIRST, THERE ARE A FEW CHANGES BECAUSE OF THE 2010 HEALTH CARE LAW.

FOR EXAMPLE, COMPARING HEALTH CARE PLANS SHOULD BE A LOT SIMPLER.

INFO PACKETS WILL NOW INCLUDE SIMPLE SUMMARIES OF COVERAGE COSTS -- ALLOWING YOU TO NOT ONLY COMPARE YOUR COMPANY'S PLANS BUT ALSO YOUR SPOUSES' PLANS AND INDIVIDUAL POLICIES.

WOMEN'S COVERAGE IS ABOUT TO GET BETTER. BECAUSE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM.

INSURERS MUST FULLY COVER SOME PREVENTIVE HEALTH BENEFITS LIKE ANNUAL WELLNESS VISITS AND CONTRACEPTIVE SERVICES.

THERE ARE ALSO MORE PLANS TO CHOOSE FROM.

MANY EMPLOYERS WILL BE OFFERING MORE THAN THE BASIC CHOICE OF INDIVIDUAL OR FULL FAMILY COVERAGE.

NEW OPTIONS WILL INCLUDE "EMPLOYEE PLUS SPOUSE" OR "EMPLOYEE PLUS CHILDREN".

BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS GOOD.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT ALLOWANCES ARE SHRINKING.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SET ASIDE 25-HUNDRED DOLLARS, PRE-TAX, TO COVER HEALTH CARE COSTS.

THAT'S DOWN FROM THE CURRENT $5,000 LIMIT.

FOR MORE TIPS, CHECK OUT CNNMONEY-DOT-COM OR MONEY MAGAZINE.

WELLS FARGO VS. US GOVT-VO

THE U-S GOVERNMENT SUES WELLS FARGO --

OVER MORTGAGE FRAUD ALLEGATIONS.

THE LAWSUIT ACCUSED THE BANK --

OF MAKING RECKLESS AND FRAUDULENT HOME LOANS FOR 10 YEARS.

COSTING THE GOVERNMENT 190 MILLION DOLLARS.

SIMILAR LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST FOUR OTHER BANKS,

NEW FL LICENSE PLATES-VO

YOU COULD SOON BE TRADING IN YOUR STATE LICENSE PLATE FOR A NEWER DESIGN-

THE REASON?

THE CURRENT PLATES ARE FORCING THE STATE -- TO LOSE OUT ON MILLIONS EACH YEAR, BECAUSE RED LIGHT AND TOLL CAMERAS CAN'T READ THEM.

SO THE PLAN IS TO CREATE NEW TAGS WITH WHITE BACKGROUNDS -- AND BLACK LETTERING AND NUMBERING.

NEW FL LICENSE PLATES-SOTVO

00.18.46 Other states that have done this major replace, it averages 3-5% increase in revenue just for that short period of time and that's how I can do this at no cost to our customers.

THE DIRECTOR SAYS THE DEPARTMENT HAS ENOUGH MONEY IN ITS BUDGET -- TO FOOT THE $31 MILLION DOLLAR BILL TO MANUFACTURE THE NEW PLATES --- AND TAXPAYERS WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DIME.

TEASE TWO-1SHOT

THERE'S NEW HOPE THIS MORNING --

FOR PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR VISION FROM MACULAR DEGENERATION.

"If I wanted to cross the street, I'd have to sit there and listen until there was no traffic going. I couldn't see the car. It was that bad.

TZ2 A EYE TELESCOPE-SOTVO

TZ2 B KATIE TEASE-SOTTOPS

EYE TELESCOPE-CAM 10 BMP- 2SHOT

MACULAR DEGENERATION IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF CENTRAL VISION LOSS --

IN AMERICANS OVER AGE 50.

BUT A NEWLY-APPROVED DEVICE -- CAN HELP THEM GAIN SOME SIGHT BACK.

IT'S A MINIATURE TELESCOPE THAT'S IMPLANTED IN THE EYE.

EYE TELESCOPE-PKG

"I decided I wasn't going to let my handicap control my life."

DALE DECHERT'S HANDICAP? HE WAS LEGALLY BLIND -- THE RESULT OF END-STAGE MACULAR DEGENERATION. A COMMON EYE DISEASE, WHERE THE TISSUE IN THE BACK OF THE EYE DIES, CAUSING PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR SHARP, CENTRAL VISION.

"If I wanted to cross the street, I'd have to sit there and listen until there was no traffic going. I couldn't see the car. It was that bad."

DECHERT'S MACULAR DEGENERATION WAS PAST THE POINT WHERE DRUGS COULD HELP. BUT INSTEAD OF SUFFERING THROUGH IT, HE DECIDED TO ENTER A CLINICAL TRIAL FOR AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP HIM SEE BETTER.

"The device if you think. just as a telescope, it's essentially miniaturized and small enough so we can implant it directly into the eye."

THE EYE TELESCOPE MAGNIFIES VISION IN ONE EYE, SO PATIENTS CAN USE THAT EYE TO SEE OBJECTS MORE CLEARLY.

BUT THERE IS A TRADE OFF. IT ALSO TAKES AWAY THE PERIPHERAL VISION IN THAT EYE, SO PATIENTS NEED TO USE THE OTHER EYE TO SEE OBJECTS AROUND THEM.

DR. DANIEL BERINSTEIN IS AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST.

"Patients need to realize this is not a cure. But we're really trying to maximize the vision that they have."

IT TAKES MONTHS, EVEN YEARS, OF TRAINING TO FULLY LEARN TO USE THE IMPLANT. IN FACT, PATIENTS WILL OFTEN SEE DOUBLE AT FIRST SINCE EACH EYE SEES IMAGES IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

DECHERT SAYS NOW THAT HE'S USED TO THE DEVICE, HE'S STILL LEGALLY BLIND, BUT HIS VISION HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY.

HE CAN WORK WITH HIS TOOLS.

.AND EVEN READ USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS.

EYE TELESCOPE-ONCAM

DOREEN GENTZLER REPORTING.

THE PATIENT SAYS HE CAN'T FEEL THE DEVICE IN HIS EYE.

AND HIS BRAIN HAS LEARNED TO ADJUST FOR DOUBLE VISION.

BUT IT'S REALLY TOUGH TO LEARN TO USE THIS DEVICE.

sabrina bryan: it's so sad to have two champions leave the ballroom tonight

. I can't believe it.

FORECAST-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

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

Dry, stable air is in the process of filtering into Southwest Florida, which will work to drastically lower our rain chances for the next several days.

Instead of tracking those afternoon showers and storms, we'll just be tracking sunshine and a few fair-weather clouds. By tonight and Thursday, we'll even get a break from the oppressively high humidity we've endured for the last several months.

Here's how our Monday breaks down. In a few areas , we'll start out with some patchy fog. Otherwise, we'll begin with a mostly clear sky and temperatures in the mid to low 70s. Sunshine will basically dominate our sky through the day with just some patchy clouds expected to float through during the afternoon. Daytime temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to near 90.

Our sky stays clear tonight as humidity levels start a modest descent. The lowering humidity combined with a clear sky and northerly wind will support low temperatures near 70 by early Thursday, and many locations may even cool to the upper 60s, especially inland.

The subtle drop in humidity will carry over into Thursday, making the air feel slightly more comfortable. Temperatures will still be rather warm, too, with daytime highs mainly in the upper 80s. A refreshing breeze will set up out of the east northeast from 5-15 mph, and we may even get gusts in the 20-25 mph range.

Thursday night will likely be the coolest as temperatures area wide dip into the upper 60. The urban corridor will be closer to upper 60s while the more rural settings cool to the middle 60s.

The beautiful weather also rolls along into Friday and Saturday. Both days will feature mainly sunny skies and dry conditions with highs in the upper 80s.

By Sunday, there should be enough moisture coming in with the easterly winds to produce a few hit-or-miss showers, but even then, most spots will stay dry.
