Vote for daddy, says Sasha Obama,6

IGNORING the crowds who flocked to a giant picnic with Barack Obama in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the White House hopeful's six-year-old daughter took the stand to urge them to "vote for daddy".

Senator Obama has been campaigning hard across Indiana this weekend, ahead of a crunch Democratic primary in the state tomorrow, and has been flanked by his wife Michelle and their two daughters, Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6.

It is the first time the girls have accompanied their father as he campaigns for his party's presidential nod since the contest in Iowa back in January.

The Illinois senator is battling with former first lady Hillary Clinton to take on presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November's election.

North Carolina also holds a primary tomorrow.
