LOOK/LISTEN: McCain and Palin rally supporters in Iowa

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin continued to talk about Joe the plumber on Saturday, while also tagging Democratic nominee Barack Obama with his own nickname, calling him “Barack the wealth-spreader.”

The Alaska governor hammered away at Obama’s tax plans during her campaign stop at Hy-Vee Hall, saying he was “not being candid” with voters.

“He is hiding his real agenda of redistributing your hard-earned money,” Palin said. “Joe the plumber said to him it sounded like socialism.”

Republican presidential candidate John McCain portrayed himself Sunday as the candidate who would fight for the middle class and working people – unlike those “tax-and-spend” Democrats -- before a crowd of about 2,000 in Cedar Falls, just nine days before Election Day.

“Senator Obama may say he’s trying to soak the rich, but it’s the middle class that’s gonna get put through the wringer,” McCain told the crowd at the University of Northern Iowa’s West Gymnasium. Later, he added: “I’m going to make sure we take care of the working people.”

The last time former Vice President Al Gore headlined the state Democratic Party's Jefferson Jackson Dinner it was 1999 and he was in the midst of own his quest for the White House.

Nine years later he was back at the Hy-Vee Hall fundraiser telling approximately 1,200 Iowa Democrats to look to the past in order to decide how to vote for the future.

"If you believe that the last eight years have been good for America, if you believe that our foreign policy and our economic policy and our civil liberties policy and our environmental policy and our health care policy and our education policy have all been handled extremely well, then you may want to reward the party in power by supporting the McCain/Palin ticket," Gore said Saturday night.
