US Presidential Race Focuses on Battleground States in Homestretch
The U.S. presidential election campaign is now in its final week, with both major party candidates reaching out to voters in the few states where the race remains extremely close.
Time is running out for the candidates in an extremely tight race for the White House.
With one party or the other holding a solid lead in many parts of the country, attention is focusing on the so-called "battleground" states where neither candidate dominates.
And so it came as no surprise both Republican candidate George Bush and Democratic candidate John Kerry included Wisconsin in their schedules on Tuesday.
The president spent the day leading a caravan of buses through the small towns in the western part of the state. Traveling in a light chilly rain past trees shedding their last leaves of autumn red and gold, he reached out to fellow Republicans.
For his part Tuesday, Senator Kerry questioned the president's leadership on foreign affairs, referring once again to revelations about 350 metric tons of explosives which have disappeared from a former Iraqi military installation. Mr. Bush has not responded personally to the news, although his aides have downplayed the matter, saying large stores of ammunitions have been destroyed in Iraq and that the missing material does not pose a nuclear proliferation threat.
