McCain and Obama look to November
Washington | May 11, 2008 12:01:13 AM IST
The Democratic Party has yet to nominate its presidential candidate, but advisers for U.S. Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama say it's time to look to November. Strategists for both teams say Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is all but out of the race completely. Advisers for McCain, R-Ariz., and Obama, D-Ill., are working on campaign ads targeting the other and already have teams in key battleground states, The New York Times said Sunday. McCain developed speeches on global warming and other non-partisan topics in an attempt to woo the much-needed independent voters while Obama will spend this week trying to counter negative stereotypes lingering from the racially-tinged Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal, The Times said. Latino voters play an influential role in this year's presidential cycle, the Times said, with Democrats courting the Hispanic vote in GOP strongholds like Nevada and New Mexico while Republicans work for the same in California. Obama is the clear winner in the race for campaign funds, with about $240 million in his coffers compared to $80 million raised by his presumptive rival McCain. (UPI)
