Here’s an early look at one of the stories we are working on for tonight’s broadcast from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric
Hi everyone,
The long marathon of Campaign ’08 has now become a sprint to Election Day. And each candidate plans to visit seven - yes SEVEN - states in the remaining four days. Barack Obama is keeping his focus on the economy as he tries to widen his lead in the polls. Dean Reynolds has the latest on the Obama campaign.
Meanwhile, John McCain is pouring money into a last round of TV ads in a final push. And he received help on the campaign trail in Ohio this morning from former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. Chip Reid has more from the trail.
If the enormous lines that have formed at early-voting stations across the country are any indication, this election could have a record turnout. But the question is: Can the system - both man and machine - handle it? Armen Keteyian investigates.
As part of our close look at the key swing states, Jeff Greenfield ventured to New Mexico, the state that calls itself The Land of Enchantment. But Jeff gives it a new moniker: "The land of the photo finish." He'll explain, tonight.
Finally, for this week's Assignment America, Steve Hartman takes our cameras along on his search for … The Great Pumpkin. You won't want to miss what he found.

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10pmET/9CT
Here’s a preview from Peter Van Sant about this Saturday’s 48 HOURS MYSTERY: Money on Horsehoe Bay A millionaire’s outrageous sex life may have led to his gruesome murder - on 48 HOURS MYSTERY, Blood and Money on Horseshoe Bay which airs Saturday, November, 1st.
Charlie White was a larger than life Texas millionaire who loved the Mavericks, the Dallas Cowboys, his private jet, skiing, golf… and women. Friends describe White as ambitious, bold and brash. He had a zest for life and an unbridled passion for women, who he would fly around the country in his private jet. But White’s enemies describe him in less than glowing terms. They say he had a dangerous mean streak - living life on a razor’s edge, sharpened by arrogance, alcohol and prostitutes.
So when police were called to White’s lakeside mansion in 2005, they were shocked by the gruesome scene. They discovered that the millionaire had been mercilessly beaten - and an extension cord had been wrapped around his neck several times. But who would have committed such a crime? And could White’s risky lifestyle have had anything to do with his murder? Peter Van Sant has the story.
And thanks for watching 48 HOURS MYSTERY on CBS Peter Van Sant

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
PATRIOTISM From flag lapel pins to the flag itself, what exactly does it mean to be patriotic in America these days? And how does the concept of national pride play out in presidential elections, past and present? Is patriotism still a virtue, or in an age of extreme partisanship, has the term been relegated to punch lines in political speeches? We’ll visit the National Museum of Patriotism in Atlanta, where the American flag is on proud display, and where historical figures from Ronald Reagan to Rosa Parks are given special honor. We’ll also hear from two professors who claim that patriotism is actually destructive of democracy. And we’ll sit down with a pundit who has studied the distinct differences between the patriotism of liberals…and that of conservatives. As we prepare to choose our country’s next leader, first we’ll try to determine how to show our love for the country that he’ll lead.
CHANEL BAG Tracy Smith visits the Zaha Hadid designed Chanel Mobile Art Container in Central Park.

The project, which is free to the public, has already traveled to Hong Kong and Tokyo. It will head for London, Moscow and Paris after leaving New York next Sunday.
HITCHCOCK Seth Doane looks back at the “suspense -thriller” genre created by filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock that still defines horror movies to this day.
TWO DAYS AND COUNTING: CAMPAIGN ’08 What does it take to become President of the United States? How about 2.4 billion dollars? This has been the most expensive presidential race in history. A huge portion of that money has been spent on advertising, as anyone who watches television in a battleground state can attest. Obama has outspent McCain two to one on ads. “Obama has become a major brand at this point,” says Evan Tracey, CEO of the Campaign Media Analysis Group. A USA Today/Gallup poll this week finds Americans think too much money is being spent on the campaign. But University of Wisconsin Political Science Professor John Coleman says there may be some benefits. “More money in campaigns almost always has a positive effect. People get more involved. People are more informed... We don’t see voters staying home where there is huge spending.” This Sunday Morning Correspondent Rita Braver takes a look at the numbers…
