Campaigning Away

It never stops, at least that's how I feel and I'm sure Obama and McCain are thinking something along the same lines.

Yesterday Obama was back in New Mexico, campaigning and trying to insure a vote that increasingly looks like it is, the Hispanic vote. About 45,000 supporters showed up at a rally at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque where Obama talked more about his tax cuts for 95% of Americans and assuring his audience he would focus all his energy on the middle class.

McCain also spent some time in New Mexico yesterday as well as a few quick stops in Texas, where he looks to be ahead but where polls also show his popularity is decreasing. In his stump speeches throughout the Southwest region McCain attempted to push the fact that Obama has never been South of the border and that he, McCain, understood the issues that are important here at a level Obama does not.

Its push time for both candidates now, but they are not done yet.
