Reporter itll be next week for some because of the hazards. The sheriff says rather than escort people in and out he rather his deputies control for thieves.

Reporter these first two debates have attracted high viewership. Reporter theres no doubt more eyes are on these debates because of donald trump who today at a New Hampshire rally shared his thoughts. That debate was three hours, it felt longer than that.

Reporter Carly Fiorina was seen by many pundents to have had the best night. Half the country had not heard my name. Didnt know i was running for president so this was a huge opportunity for me. Reporter fiorina had probably the strongest line responding to trump about her looks. I think women all over the country heard very clearly what mr. Trump said. I wasnt Rocket Science to conceive of the response that would be very popular. And she did it. Reporter thomas mann is a resident scholar with the Uc Berkeley Institute of governmental studies. He expects fiorina to get a boost and trump to peak after this debate. But not necessarily because of their performance. What we have learned from research is the debate itself is less important than the interpretations of the debate and the stories written on the day after and the week after. The gop candidates will debate again on october 28. Thats about six weeks away and long enough that we could see the field narrow but it is the democratic that will take the debate stage next.

Speaking to ktvu by phone they say this lawsuit has taken a heavy toll on them and theyre doing the best they can within the legal system.
