    BEIJING, Nov. 1 (Xinhuanet) -- US President George W. Bush and Democrat challenger John Kerry have begun a frantic sprint to the end of their presidential campaigns. Latest polls show the race for the White House remains too close to calls.

    Sunday saw Bush traveling across Florida. There he won a strong endorsement from retired General Norman Schwarzkopf, who led America against Saddam Hussein more than a decade ago.

    Meanwhile, Democrat candidate Senator John Kerry was firing back on his campaign trail in Manchester, New Hampshire. He said he would take unprecedented measures to protect national security, which would include quick Cabinet appointments. With little new to say, both candidates were focusing on energizing their supporters.
