This Morning from CBS News, Oct. 27, 2016
New fuel
The Clinton campaign is under new pressure because of apparent leaked emails from WikiLeaks raising more questions about payments to the Clinton Foundation. Bill Clinton’s huge speaking fees have been known for years, but this memo reveals just how deliberately his top aide arranged for donors to his charity to hire him to speak as well, and even give him lavish gifts.
Sneak peek
With voting already underway in several states, CBS News looks at the emerging trends in two key battlegrounds: Florida and North Carolina. Beyond just who’s voted, we analyze the data for what it all means – and may not mean.
Clocking in
It’s often said that a presidential candidate’s time is the campaign’s most valuable resource -- so CBS News looks at where Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and their running mates have spent theirs -- and what it could say about their assessments of the race in the homestretch.
Words to wise
Many Obamacare participants are likely to get socked with higher premiums next year, and many will also see their choice of insurers curtailed. With annual enrollment in the federal health program set to begin, we look at what people can do to avoid getting hit with higher coverage costs.
Red flag
Used car dealers are allowed to sell vehicles with open safety recalls, even though many buyers may be unaware of the dangers. A Toyota dealer saw one of our earlier reports about the extent of such sales and decided to take action into his own hands -- he sued another dealer. He says it’s all part of his attempts to get sales of such vehicles stopped.
Worrisome signs
Maybe it’s the contentious presidential race. Or the specter of higher interest rates later this year. Or gasoline prices jumping some 20 percent over the last two months. Whatever the reason, indications of weaker consumer spending are everywhere -- and that’s a bad sign heading into the holiday shopping season.
Questions abound
AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson’s promise that his company’s blockbuster $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner would create a “head-to-head nationwide competitor with the cable ecosystem” will be difficult to pull off. AT&T’s plan to upend the pay TV landscape is being met with some skepticism.
Crumple zone
A bad credit rating can affect you in unexpected ways. A study by InsuranceQuotes.com finds that car owners with bad credit but perfect driving records can pay two to three times more in auto insurance premiums than those with excellent credit.
Odd jobs
Despite the intense focus on the experience and personal qualities people need to serve as president of the United States, the job doesn’t have many formal professional requirements. No surprise, then, that several commanders in chief have pursued an unusual career path on their way to the Oval Office, these presidents among them.
