President Bush "is wrapping up his reelection bid as he began it, on the attack," the Boston Globe reports. "But political scientists note that while Bush's campaign strategy might help fire up supporters in regions of the country where he is popular, it might not be having as powerful an effect in all-important battleground states, such as Florida and Ohio."
Meanwhile, the Des Moines Register notes that Sen. John Kerry "turned sharply from the bruising attacks on" Bush's "conduct of the military occupation of Iraq and instead offered a hopeful appeal to independents and Republicans with just six days until the election."
