(END SOT) Expect more bad news from Fed Chief Ben

Bernanke today.

(SOT FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN BEN

BERNANKE 101737): "THE ECONOMY
CONTINUES TO

FACE NUMEROUS DIFFICULTIES, INCLUDING
ONGOING STRAINS IN FINANCIAL MARKETS,

DECLINING HOUSE PRICES, A SOFTENING
LABOR MARKET, AND RISING PRICES OF OIL,

FOOD, AND OTHER COMMODITIES."

In his first day of testimony
yesterday, Bernanke told lawmakers the
economy's

caught in a risky cross-current of
sluggish growth AND rising

inflation....And that it's difficult
to try to fix one problem without
making

the other worse.

(SOT BUSH): "I THINK THE SYSTEM

BASICALLY IS SOUND, I TRULY DO."

President Bush acknowledged the
economy's not growing the way it should
but

tried to paint a brighter picture than
the one drawn on Capitol Hill.

(SOT BUSH): "TO THE EXTENT WE FIND

WEAKNESS, WE'LL MOVE. THAT'S ONE THING

ABOUT THIS ADMINISTRATION - WE'RE NOT
AFRAID OF MAKING TOUGH DECISIONS."

(nats bell)

But there wasn't much optimism on Wall
Street. The Dow closed down over 90

points and beneath 11-thousand, its
lowest mark in nearly 2 years.

Everywhere investors look, it's bad
news. Retail sales are down, consumer

prices are up, the dollar keeps
dropping, and unemployment's projected
to

rise.

(SOT DAVID HENDERSON/NYSE TRADER):

"WHAT EVERYONE DOWN HERE IS LOOKING FOR

GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP FROM
WASHINGTON. IT'S LONG OVERDUE. WE
NEED TO

RE-BUILD SOME CONFIDENCE INTO THIS
MARKET."

A dose of good news could help stop the
bleeding, but it won't save the

day....As it appears the American
economy's facing a crisis of a lot more

than just confidence.

(oncam)

THE DOWN NEWS ON THE ECONOMY HAS
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS PUSHING FOR
ANOTHER

STIMULUS PACKAGE.

THE PRESIDENT WARNS TO WAIT FOR THE
CURRENT STIMULUS TO KICK IN BEFORE
PASSING

ANOTHER.

highs should manage mid to upper 80s
each day. We stay partly to mostly
sunny until Friday, when models are
hinting at a retrograding low moving
into the Tennessee valley. This would
offer the chance for a shower or two
through the weekend. Not all models
agree. Some have the showers holding
off until Sunday. We'll monitor this
and keep you posted. Either way, the
low would be intercepted by a cold
front late in the weekend. The best
chances for showers appears to be
Sunday and Monday. WEDNESDAY: Mostly

GRAPHIC=NONE Republican Jim Gilmore still lags

far behind Mark Warner when it comes to
raising money.

Gilmore -- the state's 68th
governor, trails Mark Warner -- the
69th governor, by a wide margin in
their race to succeed Senator John
Warner in November.

Yesterday was the deadline for
each senate candidate to report his
fundraising totals.

Mark Warner has raised nearly 10
million dollars since declaring his
candidacy while Gilmore has raised just
over one million.

Cold weather claimed most of the
crop in western Virginia.

But this year, Joe Dashiell
reports, the news is much sweeter.
