Republican Mitt Romney told voters in Nevada he is counting on their support: "So the Obama campaign is slipping and shrinking. The President can't seem to find an agenda to help America's families. Our campaign is a growing movement across this country where people recognize we're going to build a better future for the American family, for every family in this great country. We're coming together with more power, more energy. I'm counting on you, you guys here, I need you to vote."

Democrat Barack Obama continued his whirlwind tour of eight states in two days with a pitstop in Denver, Colorado; "I am going to stop in Chicago to vote before this 48-hour day is done", he told the crowd,"I can't tell you who I am voting for, it's a secret ballot. But Michelle says she voted for me. That's what she said."

Election day is on November the 6th and with the polls predicting a close-run race, the candidates have it all to play for in these nine swing states.
