With just four days to go, front-runner Obama, bidding to become the first black US president, promised to end Republican "low road" politics while McCain blitzed crucial swing state Ohio on a bus tour. "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," Obama told a rally in the midwestern state of 25,000 people. "That's how we'll steer ourselves out of this (economic) crisis -- with a new politics for a new time." The Illinois senator said he had admired McCain in 2000 when he lost to President George W. Bush in a brutal primary campaign. "But the high road didn't lead him to the White House then, so this time, he decided to take a different route," Obama said. Obama leads in nearly every poll going into the final weekend of campaigning before Tuesday's election, but McCain's campaign manager Rick Davis insisted the Republican was positioning himself for a comeback. "We are pretty jazzed up about what we are seeing in the movement of this election," Davis told reporters on a conference call. "We are witnessing, I believe, probably one of the greatest comebacks that you've seen since John McCain won the primary." The McCain camp argued that a sheaf of national and battleground state polls misread likely Republican turnout, and that the race against Obama was much closer than it appeared. Obama's campaign though said Democrats were piling up imposing early vote totals in battleground states, meaning that McCain must win big on election day to catch up. "The die is being cast as we speak," Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe told reporters, saying his boss was running strong in swing states Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and others. "So Senator McCain, on election day is going to have to not just carry the day but carry it convincingly," Plouffe said. The McCain campaign however suggested that it was picking up the votes of some conservative Democrats and that early vote totals were meeting their expectations. Plouffe also said that the campaign would expand its advertising in the frenetic final days of the campaign into Republican McCain's home state of Arizona, following polls which suggested the race had tightened there. The campaign would also take out advertising spots in normally Republican states like Georgia, after being encouraged by early voting figures there, and North Dakota, he said. Both campaigns meanwhile rolled out intense 11th hour get-out-the-vote drives. The Obama campaign may have assembled the most imposing "ground game" in US history, according to experts, but the McCain camp insisted it was replicating Bush's formidable 2004 effort. Flaunting its massive war chest, the Obama campaign has also spent three times more on television advertising than McCain recently, a new study found. Obama spent a whopping 21 million dollars on TV ads between October 21 and 28, while John McCain's campaign spent close to 7.5 million dollars, the University of Wisconsin Advertising Project said. Three quarters of the ad spending was in Republican states, including McCain's Arizona. Meanwhile former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani rallied support for McCain Friday in the crucial battleground of Ohio, with the hero of the September 11, 2001 attacks telling several hundred supporters that McCain was the only candidate capable of reviving the economy and keeping America secure. "John McCain is going to fight for you. He's going to fight to see that your taxes are low and that the economy recovers," Giuliani said, claiming Obama's policies would be "disastrous." McCain invited California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to campaign alongside him in Ohio Friday, before heading to Pennsylvania, where he also trails in polls. The latest national poll by the New York Times and CBS News gave Obama a yawning lead of 11 points over McCain among likely voters -- 52 percent to 41 percent. It also suggested that McCain's running mate choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin -- who would become the first woman elected to vice president -- might be dragging on his campaign.
