Full video of Barack Obama’s ‘Final Argument’ speech in Ohio.

From The Washington Post

Barack Obama made a “closing argument” to the American people that sounded a lot like the opening argument he offered nearly two years ago, putting forth a broad and optimistic message that emphasized the economy, downplayed partisan politics and promised this election can “change the world.”

“In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo,” Obama told a roused, capacity audience at the Canton Civic Center.

“In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history.”

It was not happenstance that Obama began the final front of his campaign in this state. A victory here, where President Bush locked up his reelection four years ago, is crucial to Republican John McCain’s electoral strategy.

The candidates both are campaigning here and in neighboring Pennsylvania today.
