US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has attacked his rival for negative campaigning in the final days before the election.
Mr Obama, appearing in Nevada, said the "ugly phone calls, the misleading mail and TV ads, the careless, outrageous comments" were preventing change.
Republican rival John McCain, aware of being behind in the polls as he spoke in New Mexico, said he was a "fighter".
He told supporters not to give up hope of a White House victory.
Both candidates were campaigning in western US states during the weekend.
Nevada, New Mexico and Colarado were all Republican at the last election but could prove crucial if the vote is tight on 4 November.
Mr Obama, returning to the campaign trail after two days off in which he flew to his ailing grandmother in Hawaii, said a negative campaign was not what the country needed.

"Ugly" is the new popular code word for "racist".
Just picture what it would be like with this idiot in the White House.

I have two answers to that, Senator:
1. “If you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.”
2. “Sarah Palin is a c....”

McCain’s an idiot.
He’s being called a racist yet is holding off on the Wright nuke for fear of being called a racist.
Makes sense.

McCain’s ads are “preventing change”. Well, cry me a river. I hope none of our enemies try to prevent change or obama would break down and cry.

This guy sure is a big cry baby! Hell, does anyone think this kind of whining will keep our enemies at bay? Wait...he is the enemy!

Quick, send in the media storm troopers, they will prevent the preventers of change from changing change!
Given the whirwind we've been through this past year, anybody still seeking change is a chucklehead.
