World News Originating from Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa All Week for the
Great American Battleground Bus TourÂÂÂ
With just 29 days until Election Day, ABCs World News with Charles Gibson is hitting the road this week, reporting from five cities in closely contested states across the Midwest for the Great American Battleground Bus Tour. While on the road, Gibson will sit down with both presidential candidates for interviews following their second head-to-head debate: Senator Barack Obama on Wednesday, October 8 in Indianapolis and Senator John McCain on Thursday, October 9 in Madison.
The Great American Battleground Bus Tour kicks off tonight in Dayton, Ohio and continues on to Bowling Green, Ohio (October 7); Indianapolis, Indiana (October 8)*; Racine, Wisconsin (October 9); and Davenport, Iowa (October 10).
In each city, Gibson and World News will look at the key issues facing voters as they prepare to cast their ballots in this historic election. What will it take for Senator McCain or Senator Obama to sway undecided voters? Gibson will speak with voters in these closely contested states for a first-hand account of the issues that will ultimately decide this election.
*The bus tour of battleground states was initially stopping in Kalamazoo, Michigan, but the schedule was adjusted after the McCain campaign announced it was curtailing operations there. ABC News will feature a report from Chris Bury in Kalamazoo, where he will speak with a group of voters about some of the key economic issues that are playing a decisive role in the race.
