6 AM Hour

The Utica Comets jumped out to an early lead but wound up dropping their home opener at The AUD last night, 2-1 to Binghamton. They're back home tomorrow night hosting Providence. A Halloween joke gone wrong....a pumpkin stuck on the head - story here. And, James Franco has a new ad for Hillary Clinton, a spin-off of the Most Interesting Man commercials:

DOT PIO Jim Piccola on a travel advisory on the north-south arterial tomorrow through Monday. Routes 5/8/12 north and southbound lanes between Court and Oriskany Streets will be reduced to one lane with a reduced speed limit of 30 mph.

Congressional candidate Martin Babinec is suing some county boards of election over a ballot line concern. The Utica OD has more on the story here.

Possibly the best political ad we've ever seen. It comes from the state of Texas:

7 AM Hour

We were once again scheduled to be joined by the alleged 'banished son' of Bill Clinton. Danny Williams-Clinton no-showed again this morning. Trevor Noah worked the story into a joke on his show last night. He claims the kid can't be Clinton's son, because, as he says, if the Clintons did have a black child they'd been parading him around on the campaign trail.

Brandon Lang says he's on fire. He's got some picks for Week 8. Brandon's got the Jags with the points tonight, he likes the Bills with the points and wouldn't be surprised if Buffalo knocked off New England outright - MONASKI CALLS BS ON THAT ONE. And, he's got Philly +4.5 over Dallas Sunday night.

And, Martin Babinec is on the phone to talk about his lawsuit over his ballot position. In 7 of the 8 counties in the 22nd congressional district, Babinec is listed only on the Reform Party line. He should be on separate ballot lines - Reform and his Upstate Jobs line - OD story here.

$500 Free Money Question of the Day - Hillary Clinton is not the only Clinton to hold high ranking office in New York. There have been 2 Clintons who've served as governor. George was the first, who was the second? Answer - Dewitt

Herkimer County DA Jeff Carpenter on the phone. He's running for re-election and being challenged by former DA Michael Daley. Carpenter is still saying no to a debate, and continues to say Daley is lying.

We finally get a hold of Danny Williams, but he goes by the name Danny Williams Clinton. He says he's Bill Clinton's illegitimate son. He shares his story.

NY Assemblyman Bill Magee is facing a challenge from Republican John Salka (whom we spoke with yesterday)
