McCain was spending the day in Ohio, a state he must win if he is to be president.

No Republican has won the White House without winning Ohio and it was the state that put Bush over the top in 2004. McCain again attacked Obama for a plan to spread wealth instead of growing wealth.

John McCain, Republican Presidential Candidate, said, "After months of campaign trail eloquence, we've finally learned what Senator Obama's economic goal is. He told Joe he wants to quote, 'spread the wealth around'. Spread the wealth around. He believes in redistributing the wealth - not in policies that grow our economy and create jobs and opportunities for all Americans. Senator Obama is more interested in controlling who gets your piece of the pie than he is in growing the pie."

A poll released on Sunday shows Obama's lead over McCain has dropped to 3 points. Obama leads McCain 48 to 45 percent, down 1 percentage point from Saturday.
