This, just five days before the election in a bid to score an upset victory over Democrat rival, Barack Obama.

McCain said the race for the White House is growing tighter each day. The Arizona senator assured his supporters that he's coming back.

With Obama running ahead in many of the traditional Republican states, Ohio is considered crucial to a McCain victory on Tuesday. McCain said he is betting his hopes on the state, where many polls show Obama with an edge.

John McCain, Republican Presidential Candidate, said, "Yes, we will lead. Yes, we will prosper. Yes, we will be safer. Yes, we will pass onto our children a stronger, better country. But we must be prepared to act swiftly, boldly with courage and wisdom. I am an American and I choose to fight. Don't give up hope, be strong, have courage and fight."
