Final push for key US poll states
Found on BBC News on Sunday, 31 October 2004
US presidential candidates George W Bush and John Kerry are campaigning in key swing states in a final push ahead of Tuesday's election.
A fresh video message from Osama Bin Laden, released on Friday, has pushed national security back to the top of the agenda.
President Bush started Sunday's campaigning in Florida, which he won by just 537 votes in 2000 after a series of recounts that decided the overall election. He then moves on to Ohio.
Also in Florida, President Bush cheered supporters in Miami with an attack on Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
"I strongly believe the people of Cuba should be free from the tyrant," the president said.
Now doesn't this come in handy? Right before the elections, new threats from Osama, rising the fear again and pushing people closer to an aggressive Dubya who strikes first, thinks later and never excuses for his mistakes (like the missing #1 reason, the WMDs). Plus, we also hear details about the next target: Cuba. Beware, they will attack the US sugar canes and support terrorists with free cigars.
