It will be a quiet weekend on the campaign trail for President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, as they will focus mainly on their prep for the final debate in Boca Raton, Florida on Monday night.
As we discussed yesterday, when the candidates leave Florida on Tuesday, there will be 14 days of campaigning left, and around 10 swing states to choose from.
We will find out more about the President's schedule by Friday evening when the White House puts out its "Week Ahead" notice for reporters; the early travel plan is that Mr. Obama will have a rally in Delray Beach, Florida on Tuesday and then join Vice President Biden in Dayton, Ohio.
The Obama campaign says that Biden will stump for votes in Ohio on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
Some might say that demonstrates how the Obama campaign sees Ohio as the ultimate firewall against Romney.
As for Mitt Romney, he will go from Florida to Colorado on Tuesday - and like the President - Romney will be joined that day by his running mate, Paul Ryan.
Romney also sent the clearest signal yet about which states probably won't get the big time focus over the next 18 days, as the campaign is shifting resources out of the Tar Heel State - confident of a victory.
The Obama Campaign rapped the move, but it would be surprising to see the President campaign there, given that he hasn't been to North Carolina since he left Charlotte the day after the end of the Democratic convention.
As the week wraps up, both sides have polls they can point to - Romney's growing lead in the national Gallup tracking poll, where he now leads by seven points, and the President in a series of swing state polls in Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Colorado and Wisconsin, where he is stubbornly holding on to short leads.
And what do we make of the poll that shows Romney ahead by four points in Pennsylvania?
18 days to go, and no shortage of story lines in this race.
