TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH" TRYING

TO RETURN TO NORMAL, LATEST ON

HOW FOLKS ALONG THE EAST COAST

ARE PICKING UP THE PIECES.

PLUS HOBBY LOBBY HEADS TO COURT.

THE ARTS AND CRAFT RETAILER

FIGHTING BACK.

AND SPAIN'S STOLEN BABIES,

ALL OF THIS AND MORE TONIGHT ON

"NEWSWATCH."

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE I AM LEE

WEB.

AND I AM WENDY GRIFFITH.

IT HAS BEEN THREE DAYS AFTER

SANDY POUNDED THE MID ATLANTIC

AND PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST.

A LONG CLEAN UP PROCESS JUST

BEGINNING.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT LOST

THEIR LIVES IS MORE THAN 70.

MARK MARTIN HAS AN UPDATE ON OUR

TOP STORY.

REPORTER: PEOPLE LIVING ALONG

THE JERSEY SHORE ARE STUNNED BY

THE DEVASTATION.

REALLY NEVER EXPECTED TO BE

WHAT IT WAS.

WHEN IT CAME UP TO HERE, I

HAVEN'T EMPTIED IT.

THEIR RESOURCES ARE RUNNING

LOW.

MANY ARE WITHOUT POWER.

THERE IS A THREAT OF GAS

LEAKS THAT COULD SEND HOMES UP

IN FLAMES.

GAS POURING WHICH RUPTURED.

EVERYWHERE YOU GO, YOU HEAR

THE GAS.

THE OPEN GAS LINES GOING.

SCARED TO DEATH.

IN OTHER PARTS OF NEW JERSEY,

DRIVERS WAIT IN LONG LINES.

SUPERSTORM SANDY LEFT GAS

SHORTAGES ALL ACROSS THE STATE.

MANY BUSINESSES ARE IN THE DARK.

CUSTOMERS REPORT HOUR LONG

WAITS.

THOSE WAITING TO BE RESCUED.

IN HOBOKEN, 20,000 ARE STRANDED.

OPERATION BLESSING IS ASSISTING

WITH CLEAN UP AND DELIVERING

WATER AND FOOD AND RELIEF

SUPPLIES.

IT IS SCARY BUT YOU HAVE TO

MAKE IT WORK.

14 OF THE CITY'S 23 SUBWAY

LINES RUNNING ON A LIMITED

BASIS.

TRAFFIC ON THE STREETS CLOGGED.

MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG ORDERED

A THREE-PASSENGER MINIMUM.

IT IS A MESS WE DIDN'T

EXPECT.

IN BROOKLYN, LOOK AT ALL

THESE PEOPLE, CROWDS OF A

RESULT, SHARE A SHUTTLE INTO

MANHATTAN.

MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS.

WITH FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE

ELECTION, BOTH PRESIDENTIAL

CANDIDATES BACK IN CAMPAIGN MODE

FOCUSSING ON THE BATTLEGROUND

STATES.

PRESIDENT TRAVELING TO

WISCONSIN, NEVADA AND COLORADO.

MITT ROMNEY SPENDING DAY AND

NIGHT IN VIRGINIA.

POLITICAL OBSERVERS SAY THE

STORM AND AFTER MATH ALTERED THE

TOWN OF HIS SPEECH.

HE DIDN'T EVEN MENTION HIM BY

NAME.

WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER AND

GET AMERICA ON TRACK.

L PRESIDENT PUT ASIDE

PARTISAN POLITICS TO WORK WITH

NEW JERSEY'S GOVERNOR CHRIS

CHRIS TISHGSE.

I CAN'T THANK THE PRESIDENT

ENOUGH FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR

STATE.

GOVERNOR CHRISTIE HAS BEEN

RESPONSIVE, AGGRESSIVE IN MAKING

SURE THE STATE GOT OUT IN FRONT

OF THIS INCREDIBLE STORM.

THE RACE IS A DEAD HEAT.

"WASHINGTON POST" POLL HAS THE

CANDIDATES AT 49 PERCENT.

MORE ON ELECTION 2012, JOINED

BY QUINN HILLIER.

HE IS A SENIOR FELLOW AT THE

CENTER OF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM.

QUINN, THE PRESIDENT HAD AN

OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK PRESIDENTIAL

BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

HE WAS WEARING A MILITARY-STYLED

JACKET TO LOOK MORE COMMANDER IN

CHIEF, I GUESS IF YOU WILL.

WILL THIS HELP HIM AS WE

APPROACH THE ELECTION?

I THINK IT DID HELP HIM TO

THE EXTENT, 70 PERCENT HAVE

APPROVED THE WAY HE HANDLED THIS

STORM.

THAT STOPPED THE FORWARD

MOMENTUM OF ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN.

IT KEPT ROMNEY'S MOMENTUM FROM

GROWING GREATER.

ON TOP OF THAT, IT NIGHT MIGHT

HAVE HELPED PUT TO REST SOME OF

THE BAD RESPONSES OBAMA HAS HAD

TO PREVIOUS DISASTERS WHERE HE

IGNORED THE DISASTER IN

NASHVILLE AND THE BP DISASTER.

NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS HE HASN'T

DONE WELL.

THIS TIME AT LEAST HE DID HIS

JOB.

QUINN, REPUBLICANS ARE

ADVERTISING IN MICHIGAN,

MINNESOTA, ROMNEY COULD WIN ONE

OR MORE OF THEM, WHAT IS YOUR

TAKE ON THAT?

LEE, I THINK IT SHOWS A LOT

OF STATES ARE IN PLAY.

THIS IS THE -- THE MAP IS

EXPANDING.

FOR INSTANCE IN MINNESOTA, IT IS

NOT JUST ABOUT THE PRESIDENCY.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY KEY

BALLOT INITIATIVES.

PHOTO ID TO BE ABLE TO VOTE IN

THE FUTURE.

OTHER IS ON A MARRIAGE AMENDMENT

TO MAKE SURE MARRIAGE IS KEPT

BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.

IT IS THOUGHT THAT THERE IS SUCH

A HEAVY TURN OUT OF

TRADITIONALIST CHRISTIANS, THAT

MIGHT ALSO HELP ROMNEY WIN THE

STATE.

IF TRADITIONALIST CHRISTIANS

TURN OUT THERE, IT ACTUALLY

PROBABLY COULD HELP ROMNEY WIN

THE STATE.

THAT IS ONE REASON THE MAP IS

EXPANDING.

LET'S LOOK AT PREDICTIONS FOR

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TUESDAY.

I WAS READING SOMETHING

INTERESTING, WE ARE BIG FOOTBALL

FANS, TYPICALLY WHEN LSU BEATS

ALABAMA, A DEMOCRAT WINS THE

WHITE HOUSE.

MY GOODNESS, I DON'T WANT IT

TO REST ON A FOOTBALL GAME.

EVERY TIME ELECTION DAY HAS BEEN

ON NOVEMBER 6TH, REPUBLICAN HAS

WON.

A NARROW WIN FOR MITT ROMNEY.

THAT IS ASSUMING THAT ALL OF HIS

VOTERS TURN OUT.

YOU CAN'T SIT AT HOME AND SAY

WHICHEVER CANDIDATE YOU ARE FOR,

THIS THING IS IN THE BAG.

IT IS GOING TO BE VERY CLOSE.

IF ALL HIS VOTERS TURN OUT, I

THINK MITT ROMNEY WILL EKE IT

OUT. ALABAMA OR LSU

SATURDAY NIGHT?

[LAUGHTER].

I AM FROM LOUISIANA AND LIVE

IN ALABAMA NOW.

I AM GOING TO TAKE A PASS ON

THAT.

[LAUGHTER].

YOU MIGHT BE WISE.

ALL RIGHT, QUINN, THANKS FOR

YOUR INCITE.

THANK YOU, APPRECIATE.

WITH AMERICANS SET TO VOTE,

POLLS SHOW THE RACE IS A DEAD

HEAT.

JENNIFER WISHON SAT DOWN WITH

BRIAN DARLING AND TALKED ABOUT

THE UNUSUAL POSSIBILITIES.

REPORTER: COULD WE HAVE A

CANDIDATE WHO WINS THE POPULAR

VOTE IN THE ELECTION AND DOES

NOT END UP BEING PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES?

ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS SET UP,

THEY CAST ALTOGETHER WITH THE

EXCEPTION OF TWO STATES, MAINE

AND NEBRASKA.

IT IS POSSIBLE WHERE YOU HAVE

HAD CANDIDATES LOSE THE POPULAR

VOTE BUT WIN THE ELECTION.

ARE WE IN A SITUATION WHERE

WE COULD SEE A TIE WITHIN THE

ELECTORAL COLLEGE?

YES.

IF WE HAD 269 VOTES FOR EACH.

THEN IT WOULD BE KICKED TO

CONGRESS.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE

BY STATE WOULD VOTE ON THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

AND AS CONSTITUTED, REPUBLICANS

HAVE A BIG UPPER HAND.

MITT ROMNEY WOULD WIN IF THE

HOUSE WERE TO DETERMINE WHO THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

WERE TO BE.

VICE PRESIDENT, THAT IS A ROLE

OF THE SENATE.

VICE PRESIDENT IS THE PRESIDENT

OF THE SENATE.

IT WOULD LOOK LIKE JOE BIDEN

WOULD WIN FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

THERE IS A SCENARIO WHERE YOU

HAVE PRESIDENT MITT ROMNEY AND

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.

WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE

STATES?

FLORIDA AND OHIO.

I AM GOING TO WATCH NEW

HAMPSHIRE.

RETURNS COME IN EARLY.

IF IT GOES EARLY FOR MITT ROMNEY

IT COULD BE A LONG NIGHT FOR

PRESIDENT OBAMA.

PENNSYLVANIA WILL BE FASCINATING

TO WATCH.

IF ROMNEY SQUEAKS OUT A VICTORY

OR CALLED EARLY IN THE EVENING

FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA.

BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A WARNING

SIGN FOR THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN

THEY MAYBE IN TROUBLE.

TURNING OVERSEAS, U.S.

MISSION IN BENGHAZI WARNED THE

STATE DEPARTMENT THE CONSULATE

COULD NOT DEFENDS ITSELF AND

WARDS ADDRESSED TO THE OFFICE OF

HILARY CLINTON.

THE CABLE WAS SENT AFTER AN

EMERGENCY MEETING AT THE

MISSION.

MESSAGE SAID AL-QAEDA HAD

TRAINING CAMPS IN BENGHAZI AND

STATE DEPARTMENT'S SENIOR

SECURITY OFFICER DIDN'T BELIEVE

THE CONSULATE COULD BE

PROTECTED.

ERICK STAKELBECK SAYS THE WHITE

HOUSE WAS NEVER UNINFORMED.

A BIGGER AGENDA EXPLAINS THAT

ACTIONS FOLLOWING THE ATTACK ON

THE CONSULATE.

HE HAS GONE OUT WITH A

MESSAGE CAMPAIGNING SAYING OSAMA

BIN LADEN IS DEAD AND AL-QAEDA

IS ON HIS HEELS.

THIS ATTACK SHOWED YES OSAMA BIN

LADEN IS GREAT AND THAT IS

GREAT, AL-QAEDA IS VERY, VERY

MUCH ALIVE.

NATIONAL ARTS AND CRAFT

RETAILER LAWYERS FOR HOBBY LOBBY

SAY THE FEDERAL LAW IS

UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND THEY WANT

-- FORCING THEM TO COVER

INSURANCE COSTS FOR

ABORTION-INDUCING DRUG.

THESE DRUGS GO AGAINST OUR

FAITH.

OUR FAMILY IS BEING FORCED

BETWEEN FOLLOWING THE LAWS OF

THE LAND OR MAINTAINING THE

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THAT HAVE

SUPPORTED OUR FAMILY AND

THOUSANDS OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND

FAMILIES.

WE CAN'T ABANDON OUR RELIGIOUS

BELIEFS TO COMPLY WITH THIS

MANDATE.

HOBBY LOBBY IS A SECULAR

ADMINISTRATION.

A FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE

REJECTED THE CLAIM THAT THE

CONTRACEPTION MANDATE VIOLATES

ITS FREEDOM.

NOW THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAID

IT WILL ALLOW A FEDERAL APPEAL'S

COURT TO REVIEW THE CLAIM.

IT WAS RULED CONSTITUTIONAL BY

THE SUPREME COURT IN JUNE.

COMING UP, CRACKING DOWN ON

CHRISTIAN CLUBS.

WHY SOME COLLEGE CAMPUSES ARE

BACKING AWAY FROM CHRISTIAN

ORGANIZATIONS.

A WOMAN WAS BLOCKED FROM

EARLY VOTING NEAR AUSTIN, TEXAS

AFTER WEARING A T-SHIRT THAT

SAYS VOTE THE BIBLE.

A GROUP CALLED TEXAS VALUES IS

REPORTING ELECTION WORKERS TOLD

CAHILL LAST WEEK SHE WAS TOLD TO

TURN THE SHIRT INSIDE OUT, GO

HOME OR COVER UP THE WORDS, VOTE

THE BIBLE.

SHE WAS FORCED TO COVER UP HER

BIBLE MESSAGE.

PRESIDENT OF TEXAS VALUES SAYS

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS A PERSON OF

FAITH WOULD BE MISTREATED THIS

WAY.

IF THIS WASN'T VOTER

INTIMIDATION, I DON'T KNOW WHAT

IS.

TUCKS UNIVERSITY HAS DROPPED

-- BOSTON SCHOOL SAY IT IS

CHAPTER DISCRIMINATES BY

REQUIRING LEADER TO A BELIEF

STATEMENT.

VANDERBILT TOOK SIMILAR ACTION.

IT TOLD CHRISTIAN CAMPUS THAT IT

VIOLATED ITS NON-DISCRIMINATION

POLICY.

ABOUT A DOZEN GROUPS LOST THEIR

STATUS.

THE TWO SCHOOLS ARE PART OF A

NATIONAL TREND THAT PITS THEIR

UNIVERSITIES AGAINST CHRISTIAN

STUDENTS.

IT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO

SEEING SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL UNTIL

IT IS, UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO STOP

IT LEGISLATIVELY OR JUDICIALLY.

INTERVARSITY LEADERS PLAN TO

APPEAL THE DECISION.

A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE IS

TURNING DOWN AN OFFER FOR A FREE

CAMPUS IN MASSACHUSETTS.

GRAND UNIVERSITY HAS TO REJECT

THE DEAL BECAUSE OF 30 MILLION

DOLLARS IN EXTRA COSTS.

UNOCCUPIED 217 ACRE CAMPUS WAS

ONCE THE HOME FOUNDED BY D.L.

MOODY.

HOBBY LOBBY BOUGHT IT AND THEY

WILL NOW SEARCH FOR ANOTHER

RECIPIENT.

UP NEXT, COFFINS OF INFANTS

ARE BEING OPENED ALL ACROSS

SPAIN.

MANY ARE EMPTY, FIND OUT WHY

WHEN WE COME BACK.

WELCOME BACK, THIS IS A

BAZAAR STORY WE ARE ABOUT TO

REPORT, MORE AND MORE ADULTS IN

SPAIN ARE MAKING A SHOCKING

DISCOVERY, THEY ARE NOT WHO THEY

THOUGHT THEY WERE.

THEY WERE STOLEN FROM THEIR

REAL PARENTS WHEN THEY WERE

INFANTS AND STOLE ON THE BLACK

MARKET.

IT HAS SPAIN DUBBED A

SUPERMARKET FOR BABIES.

DALE HURD HAS THE CHILLING STORY

IN OUR FOCUS REPORT.

REPORTER: AT A SEMIDARE AND

BARCELONA, TRUCKS ARRIVE FOR A

COURT ORDERS EXHUME MEDICATION.

MANY OF THE COFFINS ARE EMPTY.

SPAIN IS REALING FROM ONE OF THE

WORST CRIMES SINCE WORLD WAR II.

IT IS KNOWN AS THE STOLEN

BABIES.

SHEER SCALE IS STAGGERING.

IT IS A STORY HUNDREDS OF

BABIES TAKEN FROM THEIR MOTHERS

AT BIRTH.

NEWBORNS STOLEN FROM HOSPITALS

AND TRAFFICKED BY A SECRET

NETWORK OF DOCTORS, NURSES,

PRIESTS AND NUNS.

IN MANY CASE IT IS ATTENDING

NURSE WOULD HAVE IT EXAMED OR

CLEANED AND RETURN WITH A DEAD

BABY KEPT IN A FREEZER AT THE

HOSPITAL AS PROOF THE CHILD

DIED.

THEN A COFFIN WOULD BE BURIED

WITH ROCKS OR A SEVERED LIMB

FROM A PATIENT.

IT TURNED INTO A MONEY MAKING

OPERATION.

IT NEVER CAME TO LIGHT UN JUAN

AND HIS FRIEND WERE PURCHASED

FROM A NUN.

IT WAS HORRIBLE TO KNOW MY

FATHER WAS DYING THEN TO LEARN

HE WASN'T MY REAL FATHER AND MY

BEST CHILDHOOD FRIEND WAS TOO.

I ASKED MY MOTHER IF I WAS

HER SON.

SHE SAID OF COURSE.

THE PROBABILITY OF MATERNITY WAS

ZERO PERCENT.

ANTONIO STARTED JUSTICE FOR

THIS SCANDAL.

THE COURTS WERE IGNORING US.

MORE AND MORE SPANISH WOMEN

WHO BELIEVED THEIR BABIES WERE

STOLEN HAVE STARTED TO COME

FORWARD.

I AM LOOKING FOR MY DAUGHTER

BORN IN 1982.

LIKE THE OTHERS, I SAW HER AT

BIRTH AND DIDN'T SEE HER AGAIN.

THEY TOLD ME SHE HAD DIED.

I AM LOOKING FOR MY BROTHER

BORN IN JULY 1971.

I BELIEVE SPAIN WAS A

SUPERMARKET FOR BABIES, FOR

SPANIARDS AND THE REST OF THE

WORLD.

THE SPANISH HAVE INVESTIGATED

BIRTH CERTIFICATES.

THIS ONE SAYS THE CHILD'S

BIOLOGICAL PARENTS WERE MARY AND

JOSEPH.

CRIMES WERE CREATED FOR

MONEY.

EVERY HOSPITAL HAD ITS OWN

BUSINESS.

WE SAT DOWN WITH SOME OF THE

VICTIMS, WOMEN LOOKING FOR THEIR

PARENTS, A BROTHER OR A SISTER,

OR CHILDREN, ALL FEEL THE

GOVERNMENT IS DRAGGING ITS FEET.

SOMETIMES WE FEEL AS IF THEY

ARE PLAYING WITH US.

WE WANT REAL JUSTICE AND BRAVE

JUDGES.

WE WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO

SUPPORT US BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE

STRENGTH.

IT IS A BLACK HOLE.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE OUR

SISTERS AND BROTHERS AND IN THE

CASE OF THE MOTHERS THEY ARE NOT

BABIES, THEY ARE ADULTS.

HENRIQUEZ IS A LAWYER AND

AUTHOR OF A BEST SELLING BOOK

ABOUT THE STOLEN BABIES.

SPANISH JUSTICE.

THEY ARE WORKING TO RESOLVE THIS

PROBLEM THEY ARE INVESTIGATING

IT.

IT IS A GOOD POLITICAL IMAGE.

RUMORS OF STOLEN BABIES HAVE

CIRCULATED FOR DECADES.

CASES HAVEN'T GONE TO COURT

UNTIL THIS YEAR.

IT IS INCREDIBLE THERE ARE

DOCTORS AND MEDICAL ASSISTANTS,

NUNS WHO ARE LOOSE ON THE STREET

THAT HAVE BECOME RICH.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ARRESTED OR

DETAINED OR PUT IN PRISON.

THIS I DON'T THINK WOULD HAPPEN

IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY.

THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS A

POLICY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

AND WONDERS IF THE CHURCH

HIERARCHY NEW ABOUT IT AND

LOOKED THE OTHER WAY.

CHURCH OFFICIALS DENY IT.

PEOPLE ONCE THOUGHT THEY KNEW

WHO THEY WERE AND DISCOVERED

THEY ARE SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS BIG

LIE, THEY SOLD ANTONIO AND ME.

IT IS A CRIME.

IT IS THE BUYING AND SELLING OF

BABIES LIKE SOMEONE THAT BUYS A

COMPUTER.

I CRY EVERY NIGHT WHEN I GO

TO SLEEP FOR MY DAUGHTER.

I COULDN'T HUG MY CHILD.

THEY PUT HER THERE WHILE THEY

CUT THE CORD.

I DIDN'T SEE HER AGAIN.

EVEN IF THE SPANISH LEGAL

SYSTEM GETS TO THE BOTTOM, IT

COULD NEVER REPAIR THE DAMAGE

DONE TO THE SPANISH MOTHERS AND

CHILDREN THEY NEVER KNEW.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS, VALENCIA,

SPAIN.

A TEACHER IN OREGON HAS HER

HANDS FULL WITH A CLASSROOM OF

KIDS.

WONDER IF HER SOLUTION COULD

BE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

IF YOU BEHAVE WRONG, YOU HAVE

TO GO GET A CHAIR OVER THERE.

OKAY.

SARA IS USING BOUNCY BALLS

INSTEAD OF CHAIRS FOR HER VERY

ACTIVE CLASS, NOW HER STUDENTS

CAN BOUNCE UP AND DOWN ALL DAY

LONG AND STILL LEARN.

PEOPLE THINK THE KIDS CAN'T

HANDLE IT BECAUSE THEY ARE

BALLS.

OVERALL, I THINK IT HELPS CALM

THEM DOWN.

AS YOU HEARD ONE OF HER

STUDENTS SAY SHE HAS ONE RULE,

IF THEY DON'T THEY HAVE TO TRADE

THEIR BALL IN FOR A REGULAR

CHAIR.

I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA.

LET'S TALK TO OUR BOSSES.

MAYBE WE
