Adrenaline and a boatload of campaign cash are the fuel as President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney open a two-week dash to the November elections.
All the focus now is on the nine states whose electoral votes are still considered up for grabs.
Obama campaigns today in Florida and Ohio while Romney heads west to Nevada and Colorado.
Obama's team sees a win in Ohio as the best way of ensuring re-election. And it says internal polling gives Obama a lead in the state, partly because of the president's bailout of the auto industry.
Early voting in Washoe County continues through November 2.
