It's only a matter of days until the United States elects their next President.
And the presidential hopefuls are still hot on the campaign trail.
John McCain and Barack Obama are trying to secure as many votes during these last few days.
In Virginia, McCain rallied up support.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN MCCAIN SAYING:
"Fight to get our economy out of the ditch and back in the lead. Fight for the ideals and character of a free people. Fight for our children's future. Fight for justice and opportunity for all. Stand up to defend our country from its enemies. Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. America is worth fighting for."
Virginia is usually a Republican state, but this time it's on Obama's side.
The Democrat hopeful was in Nevada.
He said he'll cut taxes for those earning less than 200,000 U.S dollars.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA SAYING:
''You know I am going to give a tax break to 95 percent of Americans who work everyday and get their taxes taken out of their paycheques every single week, and I'll help pay for this by asking folks who are making more than 250,000 dollars a year to go back to the tax rate they were paying in the 1990's.''
Obama currently has a lead over McCain in the polls.
With only three days to go, Americans must choose between the first black president or the former Vietnam prisoner of war.
