SEN. BARACK OBAMA

At a rally of more than 13,000 in Sarasota, Fla.:

"Folks have to watch every penny, tighten their belts."

"If you want to know where John McCain will drive this economy, just look in the rearview mirror. Because when it comes to our economic policies, John McCain has been right next to George Bush. He's been sitting there in the passenger seat ready to take over, every step of the way."

"Don't believe this election's over. Don't believe it for a minute."

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN

Speaking in Defiance, Ohio:

"Last night Senator Obama said that if he lost he would return to the Senate and he would try again in four years with a second act. That sounds like a great idea to me. Let's make it happen."

"Ohio is hurting now, people in Ohio are having trouble staying in their homes, keeping their jobs. We have got to get this economy out of the ditch."

"Senator Obama voted for billions in corporate giveaways to the oil companies. I voted against it." (an apparent reference to a 2005 energy bill that President Bush pushed through Congress)

SEN. JOE BIDEN

With dozens of laid off autoworkers on stage behind him in Missouri:

"At the end of the day, it's ultimately about jobs."

"Stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq and spend it creating jobs here in the United States."

GOV. SARAH PALIN

Campaigning in Cape Girardeau, Mo.:

"We believe in the forward movement of freedom and not in the constant expansion of government. And we believe that the virtues of freedom are still worth fighting for."

"We believe the best of America is not all gathered in Washington, D.C. We believe it is here in the kindness and goodness and courage of everyday, hard-working Americans. We believe America is not the problem; we believe America is the solution."

"In times of economic worry and hardship -- crisis that we're in right now -- someone is attempting to put those concerns aside on Election Day -- national security issues."
