Senator John McCain had always watched a movie during the political dead time of Election Day, but on Tuesday he dispensed with that tradition to end a presidential campaign that both sides waged at warp speed. Then, too, his aides said, he was too restless to hang around Phoenix all day. So Mr. McCain headed off for a nearly full day of campaigning, first to a rally in Grand Junction, Colo., in a solidly Republican county, then to a phone bank in Albuquerque. At both stops, he seemed to have a difficult time letting go. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A campaign waged under the specter of war and financial crisis drew to an anxious finish on Monday as Senators Barack Obama and John McCain raced across nine states and asked voters on both sides to discount polls and predictions on the closing day of a two-year pursuit of the presidency. Mr. Obama surrendered the race to the judgment of the American people as he told a booming crowd here, ''Now, it's all about who wants it more, who believes in it more.'' Mr. McCain sought to motivate Republicans who worried aloud that it could be a bleak election, declaring, ''The Mac is back!'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Senator John McCain used the political wattage of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California to reach out to Ohio independents at an ear-splitting rally in Ohio's capital on Friday night. But in what might be a sign of the times, the two only filled half of the same hockey arena that President Bush had packed with 20,000 people on the eve of his re-election four years ago. Still, Mr. Schwarzenegger, who has won the Mr. World competition in Ohio, whipped the crowd into a frenzy with some body-building advice for Mr. McCain's Democratic rival, Senator Barack Obama.

In case anyone was wondering if Ohio was a combat zone for Senator John McCain's presidential campaign, consider that five days before the election the candidate took a 220-mile, six-stop, 12-hour bus tour across the northern breadth of the state. Along the way, he deployed his unofficial running mate, a disappearing and reappearing Joe the Plumber, to try to drive his points home. ''I know history,'' Mr. McCain shouted out at a cold rally on Thursday morning in Defiance, a place whose name summed up his mood. ''I know the last time anyone was elected president of the United States without carrying the state of Ohio was John F. Kennedy. My friends, we're going to carry Ohio, and we're going to win the presidency, and we need you out there working every single moment over the next five days.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Senator John McCain woke Thursday morning to what has become a fairly common greeting in these tough last weeks of his campaign. A raft of polls showing him well behind. Early post-mortems on his candidacy. Even Republicans speaking of him in the past tense. But is it really over? [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Senators Barack Obama and Joseph R. Biden Jr. seldom see each other as they campaign for the Democratic ticket. And they talk only occasionally. But on Wednesday, Mr. Obama delivered a long-distance message to his running mate. ''I think Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes,'' Mr. Obama said, gently chiding the vice-presidential nominee as he sought to sweep aside a dustup Mr. Biden touched off when he predicted that a world crisis would test Mr. Obama during his first six months in office. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Senator John McCain joined in the attacks on Thursday on Senator Barack Obama for his ties to the 1960s radical William Ayers, telling an angry, raucous crowd in Wisconsin that ''we need to know the full extent of the relationship'' to judge whether Mr. Obama ''is telling the truth to the American people or not.'' Mr. Obama, in turn, condemned Mr. McCain's plan for the government to buy bad home loans as a ''bailout'' for risk-taking banks and lenders, and he told several thousand voters in Dayton, Ohio, that Mr. McCain's approach to the financial crisis was ''risky'' and ''erratic,'' a word Mr. Obama used twice. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Both presidential campaigns expressed support on Saturday for the planned government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as a necessary step to protect homeowners from further distress. Senator Barack Obama, in comments to reporters in Terre Haute, Ind., said that although he supported the concept of a takeover, he would withhold final judgment until the Treasury Department released a detailed outline of the plan. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The Obama campaign was already nervous that Senator John McCain might try to steal the show from their big night by letting the name of his running mate selection slip out, and when the McCain campaign announced Thursday that it would run a new television commercial during their convention, those fears intensified. But when it was finally broadcast, the television advertisement that they had feared would be a knife in their back turned out to be something of a Valentine. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Senator John McCain finally made it to an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday morning for a tour and photographs that his campaign hoped would be worth, if not 1,000 words, then at least two -- ''drill now,'' Mr. McCain's mantra in recent weeks. Senator Barack Obama spent his morning in Orlando, Fla., striking back at Mr. McCain in a speech to a Veterans of Foreign Wars convention that accused Mr. McCain of being a lot of talk and little else. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

As Senator Barack Obama headed off for a vacation in Hawaii last week, Senator John McCain was left in the continental United States with the Iowa State Fair to himself. Mr. McCain's campaign promised to take full advantage this week of Mr. Obama's absence -- for starters, Mr. McCain was scathing about his rival in his weekend radio address -- but up close and personal, Mr. McCain sounded as though he would not mind some August beach time himself. ''I think if you were going to take a week off, this is probably an intelligent time to do it,'' Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, told a small group of reporters on his campaign plane in a brief session on Friday night. As for himself, ''what we do is try to take a day or two down, but it seems when I do that they fill it up with briefings and prep and issues and meetings.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
