WBFF Fox 45 :: The Running Mates Make Their Cases
Foreign policy was front and center when the Vice Presidential candidates squared off tonight in Danville, Kentucky. Unemployment and Medicare were also hot topics. A big night for both the Romney and Obama campaigns, as the two Vice Presidential candidates face off. Politicians and pundits weighed in on who won and who lost at Spin Alley. Tonight's debate was 90 minutes, with both candidates seated at the same table. There was a lot of back and forth, with both men challenging one another. Vice President Biden and Congressman Ryan were asked about a number of domestic and foreign policy issues, ranging from the attack in Libya, tax cuts, and Medicare benefits. Here's some reaction to their debate:

"I thought it was just fantastic, and of course there's nobody that does a better job on the budget and the fiscal cliff issues than Paul Ryan," says Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.).

"He ran from almost every question, we didn't get an answer on their tax plan no matter how hard both the moderator and the Vice President pushed," says the Obama/Biden Campaign's David Axelrod.

"We didn't hear a plan from Joe Biden," says Diane Black (R-Tenn.). "As usual, we're back to the same platitudes and no plan."

"Joe Biden came to this with passion, conviction, and the facts, and look at the end of the day, Paul Ryan couldn't dance away from the tax cut, from Medicare, from even privatizing Social Security," says Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois).

Now, the attention will once again shift to the 2 Presidential candidates. They're preparing for their 2nd debate next week in New York. You'll see the debate in its entirety right after XFactor, which follows this newscast. As always, you can get the latest on the election on our website, Fox17.com.The Running Mates Make Their Cases

TBI: Women more likely family violence victims
June 20, 2013 08:10 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A new study of domestic violence in Tennessee last year found women were nearly two times more likely to be victimized than men and children were the victims in 16 percent of all family violence cases.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation put out a report this week analyzing crime statistics from law enforcement agencies across the state. Their findings show that nearly 15 percent of all crimes reported were domestic in nature.

The study looked at the relationships between victims and offenders as well as the influence of drugs and alcohol on family violence. The study found that more than 17 percent of family violence involves drugs or alcohol, with alcohol being the most common.
