The development comes a day after a hiker found ID belonging to Fossett near Mammoth Lakes, California.

Police say it appears to have crashed head-on into a mountain in the Sierra Nevadas. Fossett's remains have not been recovered.

The House gets a do-over vote on the 700-billion-dollar financial bailout bill. Representatives will probably try again tomorrow.

The vote was 74 to 25 with bipartisan support. Senators John McCain, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, they were all there voting in favor of the enhanced bailout bill.

And there is a big buzz over tonight's vice-presidential debate as Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden prepare to square off tonight in St. Louis.
