Romney: "The same path we're on means 20 trillion dollars in debt in four years. It means crippling on employment continues, it means stagnant² take home pay, depressed³ home values and a devastated⁴ military."

 

Obama: "Our fight goes on, Virginia, because, because we know this nation cann't succeed without a growing, thriving middle class. Our fight goes on because America's always done best, when everybody has a fair shot, and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules."

 

Romney: "If you believe we can do better, if you believe our America should be on a better course, if you're tired of being tired. Then I ask you to vote and work for real change, because Paul Ryan and I are gonna bring a real change to America from day 1."

 

If you think there were a lot of stuff on that maps, it's not even the half of it. Ohio, Wisconsin, Virginia, Colorado, Lowa, New Hampshire, Florida, Pennsylvania, the candidates are campaign hard in states that could go either way tomorrow. One of the things that they were talking about this weekend was a report that came out on Friday. It says the U.S economy added 171,000 thousand jobs in October. But that the nation's unemployment rate went up slightly, to 7.9%. But candidates focused on different parts of that report. President Obama referred to the added jobs and said it shows the economy is improving. Governor Romney looked at the unemployment rate, said it shows the economy is at a standstill.

This is Manav Tanneeru, I'm a senior producer at CNN.COM.

One of them, is what we call the CNN electoral map, it allows you to game out the presidential race by assigning different states to different candidates. The point of it is to see who gets the 270 electoral votes. Now after you make your selections and you come with a prediction, you can share with your family and friends, the social media, e-mail, different methods.

 

Another feature we have is called the CNN Campaign Explorer. We work with Google on this feature. And it shows you the different parts of data, it allows you to take a glance of fundraising data, ad spending data, candidate travel, and also polling.

 

The last feature we have is our polling interactive. It shows CNN poll of polls for the national race and different battleground states, like Ohio, and Florida, Colorado and Nevada. States you've heard a lot about in this presidential election.
