with mass meetings and the euphoria of his supporters, Democrat Barack Obama begins the last week milestone to ensure victory in Tuesday's presidential election Nov. 4, although Republican rival John McCain gives no budge.
One day after mega-rally of 150,000 supporters in Denver, Colorado (west), Obama will be a speech Monday in the town of Canton, Ohio (east), which called on voters to choose "hope over fear, unity over division. "
"Senator Obama will tell voters that after 21 months and three debates, Senator McCain has not been able to tell the American people a single major thing that will do differently from (President) George Bush's economy" said a statement from his campaign.
The speech by Obama, who is on by a strong fundraising, a notice will be followed by payment of 30 minutes in the national TV broadcast Wednesday night.
The Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant said the Democrat's speech amounted to a call for voters to hand Washington the government of one party at a time when Democrats are preparing to reinforce their control of Congress .
"Obama's speech is more of the same empty rhetoric repackaged with the urgency of smooth and polls of undecided voters," said Conant, who criticized the "lack of experience," the senator from Illinois.
The electoral map McCain contracts while struggling to stay in the states won by Bush in 2004 such as Iowa, where Sunday ignored the polls nationally and in key states, who see Obama won the elections on November 4.
A national poll by ABC News-Washington Post gives Obama a 52 to 45% on McCain, less than the margin of 54 to 43% last week. McCain
begin the last week of his campaign with an economic roundtable in Cleveland before headlining a rally Monday in Ohio and one in Pennsylvania, two key states where Republicans believe they can win.
Arizona senator might use the occasion to emphasize his attempt to portray Obama as a socialist undercover secret plans to raise taxes to finance increased spending.
Former veteran will reiterate his description of Obama as inexperienced to be an effective commander in chief at a time when U.S. troops are involved in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Both candidates flew east after battling in the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada (west), which might give victory to Obama if he can win every state that John Kerry captured against Bush in 2004.
Obama will also try to have McCain on the ropes in Republican strongholds Virginia and North Carolina (East), a strategy that seems to be paying off: a Washington Post poll on Monday shows that the Democratic senator leads his rival in Virginia by 52 to 44%.
A similar survey of the Washington Post and ABC News in late September showed Obama with only a slight three-point lead in that state.
In a blow for Republicans, the Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, the state of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, gave his support to Obama, like the Financial Times in its Monday edition . AFP
