U.S.
President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, are
doing a campaign blitz through so-called "swing states" during the
final days before Tuesday's election.
After
rallies in Wisconsin , Nevada ,
Colorado , and Ohio
Thursday, Obama plans to spend all day Friday in Ohio -- a crucial state for victory for
either candidate. Obama plans to visit Ohio
on each of the final four days of the campaign.
Romney
on Friday visits both Wisconsin and Ohio . In West Chester , Ohio ,
he is expected to join forces with running mate Paul Ryan. The Romney campaign
says it expects "nearly 100" governors, senators, mayors, and other
officials to attend. In his final days of campaigning, Romney plans stops in New Hampshire , Iowa , and
Colorado .
The
candidates are concentrating on the same set of states because they are the so-called
"battleground" states that could turn the election one way or the
other.
Though
disaster relief efforts have won Obama unusual praise from both Republican New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie and independent New York City Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, polls show the two candidates are just about tied for popular
support. ---VOA News
