DAYTON, UNITED STATES: Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry catches a football pass at a school field in Dayton Ohio 31 October 2004. Kerry was on his way to Sunday service at Shiloh Baptist Church in Dayton when his motorcade pulled off the road and he had a catch with members of his staff. Candidates John Kerry and George W. Bush began delivering closing arguments to American voters 31 October, sprinting from state to state in the final 48 hours of deadlocked presidential race. The candidates kicked up the punishing pace of their campaigning, while their running mates, relatives, and celebrity supporters joined the fray in events across the country, urging Americans to go to the polls 02 November.
