DES MOINES (AP) - With less than four weeks until the election, both presidential campaigns are turning their efforts to delivering Iowans to the polls.
Republican John McCain is heading to the state again Saturday for a rally in Davenport, a move his supporters say shows he intends to win in Iowa despite polls showing Democrat Barack Obama leading.
McCain's campaign declined to discuss specifics of its effort, but strategists for Obama say they've readied a massive field operation with 120 paid staffers and 6,000 volunteers working out of 50 offices around the state.
Much of the effort will focus on rural areas that traditionally vote Republican but where McCain might be vulnerable because of his opposition to the farm bill and ethanol subsidies.

Anonymous, is it that you're making that statement up the reason you can't put your name on your post, or is it that you think you shouldn't have to answer to dumb comments like that?
