Florida (United States), Oct. 21: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Monday accused his republican rival John McCain of launching an "ugly" bid to stave off defeat, while campaigning along with Hillary Clinton in the crucial swing state of Florida.
With just 15 days to go before the election, Obama implored supporters to flood early voting stations in the state and vote for him rather than McCain.
In 2000 and 2004, the state had voted Republican.
