| Description | Each presidential candidate made his pitch to thousands of supporters in a key battleground state on the final Saturday of the U.S. election.
"Yes, we can," Democratic candidate Barack Obama told supporters in Nevada, his slogan over 21 months of campaigning.
Despite polls suggesting Obama is on the brink of a historic landslide win, many Democrats remain nervous that Republican John McCain could pull off an upset.
Democrats don't need a long memory to remember the traumatic losses for their party to George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004.
"We are witnessing, I believe, probably one of the greatest comebacks that you've seen since John McCain won the primary," Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, said Friday.
But polls from numerous sources and non-partisan political watchers say otherwise.
"At this point, John McCain probably can't win without divine intervention," Charlie Cook, a respected Washington journalist who specializes in electoral forecasts, wrote Saturday in his National Journal column. |
