Meanwhile, Obama spent the day in another critical battleground state: Florida, where both candidates have made multiple appearances this week.

Obama said President George W. Bush had driven the US economy into a "dead-end street," and McCain would keep it buried there if he got elected.
Barack Obama, Democratic Presidential Candidate, said, "So, you've got to ask yourself, after nine straight months of job losses, the largest drop in home values on record, wages lower than they've been in a decade, why would we keep driving down this dead-end street?"
The Illinois senator seized on new Federal data showing that the US economy had shrunk in the third quarter of the year.
Obama compared McCain to a passenger in a car, waiting to take the wheel from Bush and keep the country off-course.
National polls as well as polls from most of the states still in competition show that Obama is still leading.
