At campaign rallies in Iowa and Indiana, the Illinois senator said Tuesday's election against John McCain would dismantle Republican politics of divide and rule "once and for all" and chart a new course of national unity. Addressing more than 40,000 supporters here after visiting his daughters in Chicago for Halloween , Obama said on Friday "Malia and Sasha, each year they've got trouble deciding what (costume characters) they want to be for Halloween." "John McCain didn't have that problem. Just like every year, he's going as George W. Bush," he said, once again linking his White House rival to the president's shattered economic legacy . The Democratic front-runner said the other pressing priorities if he wins would be achieving energy independence and enacting universal health care for Americans reeling from the economic crisis. "And none of this can be accomplished if we continue to see a potential meltdown in the banking system or the financial system," he told CNN in Iowa, where he beat Hillary Clinton in the year's first Democratic nominating clash. "So that's priority number one, making sure that the plumbing works in our capitalist system," Obama said. He refused to detail his potential choice of Treasury secretary -- but noted that his economic advisers include ex-Treasury secretary Larry Summers, former Federal Reserve chief Paul Volcker and billionaire investor Warren Buffett. Obama also backed a call by General David Petraeus, the new supremo of US forces in the Middle East and Central Asia, to initiate contacts with Taliban elements in Afghanistan. The Democrat said that if contacts modeled on a US alliance with former Sunni extremists in Iraq can lure those Taliban members away "from the hard-core militants that are aligned with Al-Qaeda, that would be beneficial." But first Obama told CNN that he would "want to see some proof, some evidence that in fact there are aspects of the Taliban that are susceptible to reasonable dialogue." He pledged to "go after" Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden. "We will kill him or we will capture him, try him, tie the death penalty to him ... as necessary." Hurtling into the climax of his campaign against McCain, Obama addressed a 25,000-strong crowd in Des Moines, Iowa, a midwestern state where he holds a strong polling lead. In Indiana, which last backed a Democratic hopeful in 1964, McCain is barely ahead in the polls. At the day's rallies, Obama said he had admired McCain in 2000, when the Republican had decried "low road" politics after going down to a vicious smear campaign in his contest against Bush for the Republican nomination that year. "But the high road didn't lead him to the White House then, so this time, he decided to take a different route," the Democrat said. "But Iowa, at this moment, in this election, we have the chance to do more than just beat back this kind of politics -- we have the chance to end it once and for all," he said in Des Moines. "We have the chance to prove that the one thing more powerful than the politics of anything-goes -- the one thing the cynics don't count on -- is the will of the American people. "That's how we'll steer ourselves out of this crisis -- with a new politics for a new time. That's how we'll build the future we know is possible -- as one people, as one nation." On the final weekend of the dramatic campaign, Obama was bidding to lock down western battlegrounds with rallies in Nevada and Colorado Saturday before returning to the bellwether state of Missouri for an evening event.
