Senator John Kerry, the Democratic candidate in the U.S. presidential election, and his running mate Senator John Edwards spent a full day campaigning. On Wednesday, Senators Kerry and Edwards campaigned in three states: Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, which are crucial for determining the winner of the pivotal November election. Mr. Kerry claims that he and Senator Edwards have better views than President Bush, but Republicans argue that Mr. Edwards, who has only served one term as a senator, is too inexperienced to hold the position of Vice President. Results from two polls released on Wednesday by CBS and NBC show that if the election were held today, Democrats would defeat President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney by five and eight percentage points, respectively.
