Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain and Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama bounce from state to state, but the support at the local level, many believe, will be the difference come November.

There's not a lot of time left, and both sides are doing what they can to get voters to head to the polls in November.

Campaigns are calling on their neighbors, as the presidential election heads down the final stretch.

"Politics effects all our lives, and the more people that realize that, the better off we'll be,"said Jeff Schultz of the Rock County Victory Center in Beloit.

Schultz runs the center, which is a home base for volunteers doing their part to help the Republican candidates they support, win in November.

It's campaigning the old-fashioned way.

The main emphasis is, we're still doing the doors, and we're doing the phone calls like we did before. It's the same methodology, but we're doing it on a much greater scale. We're really pushing now, whereas before, we pushed definitely, but we may not have had the means or the volunteers, said Schultz.

Democrats are making the same call for voters and volunteers.

Speaking at the UAW Local 95 hall in Janesville, DNC chairman Howard Dean expressed every vote counts.

He referenced that John Kerry beat George W. Bush in Wisconsin in 2004 by just 11,000 votes, or two votes per precinct.

"You don't think what you do makes a difference? I think there are a lot of people in this audience who have made an awful lot of phone calls in the last few months. An awful lot of people getting out knocking on doors. You don't think you make a difference? Two votes. Two votes per precinct," said Dean as he addressed the audience.

Dean said Wisconsin could come down to the work supporters do on the street.

"I think it makes enough of an impact so that the state of Wisconsin could go either way as a result. If you do this, and supposed the folks get another 1,000 votes out, you do that 10 times in Wisconsin and you win the state," Dean said.

With just weeks to go, both campaigns will continue doing everything they can to get residents to vote.

Both sides view a nonvoter as a vote lost.

"Well, I think a good vote is better than a bad vote... But we want everybody to vote. It's important that people participate in the process," said Schultz.

Both campaigns anticipate the presidential race in Wisconsin will again be very close.

A WISC-TV poll last week showed Obama leading McCain by just 6 points: 49 percent to 43 percent in Wisconsin.
