Joe Biden - "This election in my view is a fight for the heart and soul of America. The best way to sum up the president's view, my view and I think your view, is we see an America where in the words of the Scripture, what you do unto the least of my brethren you do unto me," said Vice President Joe Biden in remarks delivered at the NAACP annual convention. "As President Barack Obama says, we are our brother's keeper, we are our sister's keeper, we have an obligation. I believe this election will come down to character, conviction and vision. And it will not surprise you, I don't even think it's a close call." (Photo: Associated PressAP)

Barack Obama - Negative ad campaigns blaming President Obama for the state of the nation's economy "may be a plan to win an election, but it’s not a plan to create jobs," said the president in a speech delivered in Iowa on Tuesday. "It sure as heck is not a plan to grow our economy. It’s not a plan to revive our middle class. They don’t have that plan. I’ve got that plan, Iowa." (Photo: David Greedy/Getty Images)

Mitt Romney - “This president has been outsourcing a good deal of American jobs himself, by putting money into energy companies — solar and wind-energy companies that end up making their products outside the United States,” said Mitt Romney at a campaign event in Colorado, responding to Obama's attacks on his tenure at Bain Capital. “If there’s an outsourcer-in-chief, it’s the president of the United States, not the guy who’s running to replace him.” (Photo: AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
