We're into the final days before voters cast their ballots in U.S. presidential election, and candidates aren't letting up. During a campaign stop in swing state Virginia, Democratic nominee Barack Obama hammered home the issue of trust. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "...you've got to ask yourself who do you trust? You know you may not agree with every decision I've made. Michelle doesn't agree with every decision I make. There may be times when you are frustrated with the pace of change. I'm frustrated sometimes with the pace of change. But you know I mean what I say and I say what I mean. You know what I believe. You know where I stand." For Romney, it's all about gaining trust from moderates. Playing the middle, Romney is driving home a message of bipartisanship. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, MITT ROMNEY, SAYING: " I am going to work with Republicans and Democrats in Congress. I am going to meet regularly with their leaders, I am going to endeavor to find good men and women on both sides of the aisle who care more about the country than they do about politics." Election day is next Tuesday, November 6th.
