Obama and McCain Campaign in West
---------------------------------



On the campaign trail, over 100,000 people attended a Barack Obama rally
in Denver, Colorado. Another 45,000 showed up for a second rally in Fort
Collins. On Saturday, Obama campaigned in Reno, Nevada.

Barack Obama: "Somewhere in this crowd, there are parents or
grandparents who said ‘I might not have the right to vote, but my child,
he might be able to run for the United States Senate. He might be able
to run for the presidency of the United States of America. Nevada,
that’s the American Dream. That’s what we’re fighting for. That’s what
this election is about.”

At a rally in Denver, Colorado, Senator John Mc Cain continued his
critique of Barack Obama’s economic policies.

John Mc Cain: “We’re going to double the child deduction for every
family. We’ll cut the capital gains tax. We’ll cut business taxes to
help create jobs and keep American businesses in America. You know, as
Joe the Plumber and small business owners across the country have now
reminded us all, America didn’t become the greatest nation on earth by
giving our money to the government to spread the wealth around.”
