LORDSTOWN, Ohio (UPI) -- Presumptive Republican nominee John McCain
says he is the underdog but he expects to pull ahead in the final days
of the U.S. presidential election campaign.
The Arizona senator said in Ohio the race between him and likely
Democratic nominee Barack Obama likely will go down to the wire, Fox
News reported.
"I'm the underdog. I'm behind," McCain said. "I've got to catch up and
get ahead. And I expect to do that about 48 hours before the general
election."
McCain made the comments the same day a poll indicated Obama leads him
nationally and in several swing states.
He criticized Obama for refusing to meet his demands for a series of
informal town hall meetings around the nation.
"I would meet him anywhere, anytime," McCain said. "I have kept days
open."
