Obama and McCain Campaign in West

HeadlineOct 27, 2008

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 McCain continued his critique of Barack Obama’s economic policies.

John McCain: “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.”
