The top USA Today headline for the day is “Candidates making their case.” This headline is followed by two sub-stories one describing John McCain’s final stretch of the campaign and one describing Obama’s.
“McCain seeks footing on the economy” discusses McCain’s two day bus tour across Ohio. The article states that McCain began the campaign stressing his credentials on national security, and now the entire focus has shifted to the economy. McCain believes that “Joe the Plumber” may be the turning point of his campaign.
The story about Obama is titled, “His diversity a plus, Obama says.” In this article Obama states that his time spent growing up overseas and his biracial background make him a better candidate than McCain. Obama’s article includes a list of his upcoming campaign visits and emphasizes that he will be spending Halloween with his family.
Another top story, “Montana split over candidates’ energy plans” discusses the abundance of wind and coal in the state of Montana. The state has voted Republican since 1992. The article states that many are surprised Obama hasn’t given up, especially since Montana only has 3 electoral votes. Some believe this is an attempt to prove his credibility.
