Cheney “is linked to concealment of C.I.A. project” according to the New York Times.

Final push from Saturday – it writes the website of the New York Times – for the candidates and senators John Mc Cain and Barack Obama. According to the online newspaper, Obama aims at three Republican states and will be on Sunday in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. In fact he “was using the last days of the contest to make incursions into Republican territory, campaigning Saturday in three states — Colorado, Nevada and Missouri — that President Bush won comfortably in 2004”. And it writes later on: “In addition to the states he visited on Saturday, Mr. Obama was planning stops Sunday in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, states that went Republican four years ago”. The online version of the British newspaper The Guardian confirms the expectations of Obama’s team. “With strong Democratic turnout in early voting, Obama’s team – it writes – expects to hold all the states that John Kerry won in 2004 and add Republican states from Colorado to Virginia. They are to advertise in Arizona for the first time, and are putting fresh resources into Georgia and North Dakota. The decision to target Arizona may be designed to try to spook McCain, who has not campaigned in his home state, assuming it was solid”.
This intention is confirmed by the most famous newspaper of New York according to which Obama bought ads in Arizona, Mc Cain’s state, to let him add a campaign in his home state (“In what seemed as much a symbolic tweak as a real challenge, Mr. Obama purchased advertising time in Arizona, Mr. McCain’s home state, apparently prompting Mr. McCain to tack on a last-minute campaign rally in his home state on Monday”). This intention seems confirmed by the Guardian which writes that “Barack Obama’s team demonstrated its confidence of victory by yesterday announcing it is to extend its campaign deep into the Republican heartland, even into John McCain’s home state Arizona”.
On the other side, Mc Cain was in a Republican state, Virginia, sought after by the Democrats, and also in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, two Democratic states in 2004 that the Republicans would like to conquer: “Mr. McCain – the New York Times writes – started the day in Virginia, a once-solidly Republican state that Democrats now feel is within their grasp. But he then turned his attention to two states that voted Democratic in 2004 — Pennsylvania and New Hampshire — reflecting what his aides said was polling in both states suggesting the race was tightening up”. Or – as the Guardian writes with its other words: “McCain will spend the weekend canvassing in Virginia and New Hampshire. DuHaime disputed a poll in the New York Times suggesting McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, was a drag on his campaign – with 59% saying she was not ready to be president. He said she had attracted 20,000 to a rally on Thursday, in contrast with 800 for Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden. But a longtime McCain ally and former Republican cabinet member, Lawrence Eagleburger, speaking on National Public Radio on Thursday was categorical in saying Palin was not up for the job”.

It’s certainly interesting to see how British and American media approach the candidates. Personally, I’m ready for the whole election to be over!
