The world is watching the Arizona Biltmore today, the end of the road for John McCain's campaign. 

It's where he will either give his concession speech or officially be on his way to the White House.

Before the sun even came up Tuesday morning, work crews got down to business putting the finishing touches on the Biltmore terrace and conference rooms.

Before that, Prescott was the hot spot last night.  Hundreds crowded around the historic courthouse there waiting to see and hear John McCain.  Prescott is connected to the political past of Barry Goldwater.  McCain was introduced by his tearful wife Cindy Wednesday night around midnight.

It was the end of a long day.  McCain hit seven swing states yesterday from coast to coast.  He urged his supporters to get out and vote and knock and their neighbors' doors to make sure they get out and vote.  He took shots at Senator Barrack Obama, basically calling him a tax and spend liberal.  He also claimed the pundits and pollsters are dead wrong.  Most say McCain is way behind.  He claims his chances are alive and well.

McCain will visit Colorado and New Mexico today then head back to Arizona to watch the results come in and finish the day at the Biltmore, either accepting victory or acknowledging defeat.
