Pledging that "the Mac is back," Sen. John McCain told a hangar full of cheering supporters that he would confound polls and pundits and win tomorrow's election against Sen. Barack Obama.

About 1,500 enthusiastic partisans erupted in applause as the flying version of the Straight Talk Express taxied to a halt at Pittsburgh International Airport. Mr. McCain and his wife, Cindy, emerged, accompanied by an entourage that included former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.

A smiling, ebullient candidate drew a deafening response as he said, "We're going to win this thing. ... Pennsylvania will do it and Pittsburgh will be the important area."

Mr. McCain was back on his plane less than an hour after it landed, heading to another stop in his final, frenetic charge across seven states in his upset quest for the White House. The Arizona senator started his day in Tampa, a pivotal region in a state he must win to have any chance of an Electoral College majority.

After stirring the cheers of more than 15,000 supporters at Mellon Arena, Mr. Obama headed to a Carson Street storefront for a well-choreographed visit with volunteers working down computer lists of phone numbers.
