Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama isn't finished with Gov. Janet Napolitano yet. After dispatching her to Colorado, Florido, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the senator from Illinois' campaign is sending her back to Ohio, into the heart of a race that remains tight with just over one week left to go.

Napolitano will be pairing up on Tuesday with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, with whom the Arizona governor has appeared on numerous occassions over the course of campaigning for Obama, for an economic forum in Milford, OH, "to discuss Barack Obama's economic plan for change," according to the Obama campaign's Ohio website.

Napolitano's public schedule also reveals she will be staying in Ohio throughout the day, appearing at town hall events in Cincinnati and the towns of Lebanon and Eaton.

With time quickly running down before next Tuesday's election, which is not just barely over a week away, both gubernatorial candidates are hard at work on the campaign trail.

Republican Dino Rossi and Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire have both announced extensive campaign tours to try to seal the deal in a race that has been neck and neck for much of the past seven months.

Rossi, who lost to Gregoire in 2004 by 133 votes in a hand recount after leading by decreasing margins in the first two machine counts, has been on a statewide "Road to Victory Tour" that commenced immediately after the fourth of five gubernatorial debates on October 10.

Gregoire, for her part, is following an equally grueling schedule. Her 11-day, 26-city tour began on Saturday at a rally with Native Vote, followed by a series of rallies with fellow female Governors Janet Napolitano (D-Ariz.) and Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kans.).
