Sen. John McCain says "we're coming back," despite being behind in the polls


As we know, our future depends on the final days of the campaign. "With your help, we can win. ... We need a new direction, and we have to fight for it," McCain said, urging voters to volunteer in the final hours of campaigning. With two days left until the election, Obama holds a 6-point lead over McCain, 50 to 44 percent, according to CNN's average of national polls. And six percent of respondents said they are still undecided... In Columbus, Ohio Sen. Barack Obama said, "Don't believe for a second this election is over. Don't think for a minute that power will concede without a fight. We have to work like our future depends on it in these last two days, because it does." Obama also continued his fight to tie McCain to the current administration, calling attention to Vice President Dick Cheney's endorsement of the McCain-Palin ticket. He said, "I'd like to congratulate Sen. McCain on this endorsement, because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy." Obama then added, "Do you think Dick Cheney is 'delighted' to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain's going to bring change? Because he thinks that somehow John McCain is really going to shake things up?" Obama also said that Cheney knows that with John McCain, you get a twofer: George Bush's economic policies and Dick Cheney's foreign policy. But you know what? That's a risk that we can't afford to take.
