Theres the 60 on sunday. And we are going to see sunshine until later on in the afternoon. Monday, 44, becoming partly cloudy and tuesday an afternoon rain to snow. And computer models are all over the place again with this thing tuesday night. One saying we could have a snowstorm here. Another is saying it can stay rain. We will keep an eye on that.

Chris christies endorsement is helping shift attention away from a relentless set of attacks of marco rubio on donald trump and four days until super tuesday, rubio and ted cruz desperately need to take trump down a peg. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie reappeared on the we need a first class president and we will have it in donald trump. The governor, himself a former contender in this race believes trump will be the eventual nominee and stands the best chance of defeating Hillary Clinton. But today it wasnt clinton trump targeted. It was one of his republican opponents senator marco rubio. Remember this, really, really weak on illegal immigration, marco.

Donald trump like Hillary Clinton is a rich new york liberal. Reporter fierce back and forth here. Consider the stakes surrounding all of this. On tuesday, 1 states will hold g. O. P. Primaries selecting nearly half the delegates needed to actually secure the nomination. So a few wins for ted cruz or marco rubio could reshift this race. By contrast, a big night for donald trump could all but sew up this race and secure his place as a favorite to win the nomination. Dan, denise. Denise all right, scott. Of this. Could he be on the ticket with trump or going after another position . Do we know. He was asked that question directly. Neither donald trump nor Chris Christie ruled out the possibility of him being on the eventual ticket should donald trump get the ticket. At least for the day he didnt seem interested and declined to speculate what he would say if offered a spot on the ticket for vp. What he would say is he is committed to being governor until 2018 and join the private sector and make more money than his wife. Can you bet this will be the subject of a lot of speculation for the next couple of weeks and maybe a couple of months. Dan, denise. Dan scott, lets talk about the democrats in all this. Are they in a position to sit back consultly watch a circus side show going on. Sanders saying about this today, it . Reporter yeah, i havent heard too much from them on this topic. Bernie sanders continues to hammer Hillary Clinton over the to banks and other special Interest Groups and he said they should be released. Hillary clinton for her part nothing to hide in the transcripts and says she is only going to release them if the republicans, all the republican candidates and Bernie Sanders as well would release transcripts of similar speeches they had given. Bernie sanders started his day in minnesota. Hillary clinton started her day in atlanta. Both ended up in South Carolina because that state for the democrats votes in the primary tomorrow. Denise all right scott mcclain, thank you. Another endorsement for Cleveland City council is throwing its support behind the former secretary of state.

Kinda surprising, catherine. Reporter we hear about eating fish often and big on the mediterranean diet and yes, denise, fish fry, you think benefits are wiped out by the greasy fry of it all. Apparently thats not the case all together. There you go. The familiar sites, sounds and enjoy. Mouthwatering anticipation of a fish fry of the lenten season in northeast ohio. And go for it as doctors are saying with good reason. Fish packed with omega 3 fatty acid and cod is more than heart healthy. It is gain for the brain. Omega 3 fatty acids is a healthy fat, good fat and brain cells and covering of our brain cells. A neurologist with University Hospital says that means it is a good line of defense of brain function. It is proven. We do know people have a mild form of cognitive and if they take omega 3 they have a longer time to did develop dementia and of course baked or broiled is preferable over fried fish for reasons we know. Even fried you get brain benefits. For full benefits, the a week. If you go to a restaurant, a filet of salmon thats two servings and tuna sandwiches. Thats your four servings of the week. Part is fried, the other grilled. Many take omega 3 supplements instead and they help and with a potent and effective dose. In the newscenter catherine bosley. Dan i like the sound of this.
