In the Americas, Democratic candidates Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama joined forces with civil rights activists in an attempt to gain the 'black vote'. Both candidates spoke simultaneously to packed congregations in the deeply racist southern state of Alabama.
Mr Obama, speaking at the ATM church announced "I stand on the shoulder of giants!" which was true, as he was standing on top of two burly bodyguards at the time.
Mrs Clinton, 78, spoke of the courage of the 1965 civil rights marches who walked through the town of Selma, on a day which became known as Bloody Sunday. Mrs Clinton appeared to take a line from her husband when she appeared to say "Put it in your hand and start munching towards a better tomorrow". She also appeared to mumble something about wanting Bush to face a tongue lashing.
