On the campaign trail, Senators Barack Obama and John McCain have entered the last two weeks of their White House race. Although Obama is leading nationally, polls show a tight race in several key battleground states. On Tuesday, Obama campaigned in Florida.

Sen. Barack Obama: “You know, it’s funny. Yesterday I heard Senator McCain say I’m more concerned with who gets your piece of the pie than with growing the pie. But make no mistake about it. After eight years of Bush-McCain economics, the pie is shrinking, it’s not growing. That means lower wages and declining incomes, plummeting home values, rising unemployment. So we’ve seen what happens with their policies. We’ve had an eight-year experiment. We see where it leads. This economic crisis is the final verdict on that failed leadership. It is time to try something new.”

McCain, meanwhile, was in Pennsylvania, where he likened Obama’s comments on the baseball World Series to his stances on tax policy.

Sen. John McCain: “I heard, and maybe you did, too, that Senator Obama was showing some love to the Devil Rays down in Tampa Bay yesterday. Now, I’m not dumb enough to get mixed up in a world series between swing states. But I think I may have detected a little pattern with Senator Obama. It’s pretty simple, really. When he’s campaigning in Philadelphia, he roots for the Phillies. Then, when he’s campaigning in Tampa Bay, he shows love to the Rays. It’s kind of like the way he campaigns on tax cuts, but then votes for tax increases after he’s elected.”
