A FRANTIC FINISH FOR THIS SEEMINGLY ENDLESS ELECTION-- AS BOTH CANDIDATES STUMP FOR LAST MINUTE VOTES-- WITH ONE CANDIDATE EVEN HERE IN NEW MEXICO. NEW MEXICO IS ONCE AGAIN AT THE CENTER OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE -- WITH JOHN MCCAIN SCHEDULED TO SPEAK JUST AN HOUR FROM NOW IN ROSWELL....AS HE TRIES SCORE SOME LAST MINUTE VOTES. OUR JEFF MAHER IS LIVE THERE RIGHT NOW-- AS MCCAIN SUPPORTERS AWAIT HIS ARRIVAL. JEFF? A LARGE CROWD OF SUPPORTERS ARE EAGERLY AWAITING FOR SENATOR MCCAIN'S PLANE TO ARRIVE HE'S SCHEDULED TO SPEAK IN ABOUT TWO HOURS HERE IN THIS HANGAR AT GREAT SOUTHWEST AVIATION - - THE SAME PLACE WHERE RUNNING MATE SARAH PALIN CAMPAIGNED LAST MONTH WORKERS SPENT HOURS SETTING UP THE WHOLE EVENT - AND MCCAIN SUPPORTERS HAVE COMING IN BY THE BUSLOADS. THIS RALLY IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN PALIN'S. THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN SAYS IT WILL BE SMALLER BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS - - THEY'RE EXPECTING ABOUT SIX TO TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE. PALIN'S WAS NEARLY TWICE THAT AMOUNT. SENATOR MCCAIN IS EXPECTED TO SPEAK FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR - THEN WILL FLY OFF TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA FOR THE FINAL STOP FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. WE TALKED TO PEOPLE WHO DROVE HUNDREDS OF MILES TO SEE MCCAIN SPEAK. MCCAIN IS EXPECTED TO SPEAK FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES, THEN HE'LL FLY OFF TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - STOPPING TO SPEAK TO SUPPORTERS THERE, AND THEN WILL MAKE HIS FINAL STOP BACK IN PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. SEVERAL LOCAL STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS ARE GOING TO SPEAK AT THE EVENT. OF COURSE WE'LL BRING YOU CONTINUING COVERAGE ON THIS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. LIVE IN ROSWELL.  « Less
