*-- Obama, Romney race to finish line --*

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Monday was crunch time for U.S. presidential candidates to reach remaining undecided voters and urge Americans to exercise their right to vote.

"This is get-out-the-vote time, which is why [President Obama] is all over the battleground states urging people to get to the polls," Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said on CNN Monday. "Trying to persuade that last little sliver of undecided voters that they be out there, but mostly it's energizing voters making sure they get to the polls."

On MSNBC, 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain said the final day likely is nerve-wracking as well as exciting for candidates.

"And people are fired up," the U.S. senator from Arizona said, adding later. "There's incredible enthusiasm out there. How that translates, I'm not exactly sure, but it's bound to be encouraging" for Republican standard-bearer Mitt Romney.

Meanwhile, CBS News reported Obama has 237 electoral votes and Romney has 191, after proportioning the states that will definitely vote for each candidate. "Obama has a head start," said CBS News' Political Director John Dickerson said.

Dickerson said Obama has 431 possible scenarios to win the required 270 Electoral College votes and Romney has far fewer -- 76. If Romney wins battleground states of Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia, he still needs another state, Dickerson said.

The latest United Press International poll indicates Obama and Romney are tied at 48 percent among likely voters. And poll after last-minute poll indicated the race was tied, virtually tied or statistically in a dead heat -- phrases meaning it's just too close to call with Election Day less than 24 hours away.

Obama, Romney, Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan were scattered across the country Monday, cramming in 11th-hour visits to battleground states.

Romney ends his day in New Hampshire, where he won his first primary of this political season, at a rally in Manchester. Musician Kid Rock will perform.

Obama's last campaign stop is in Iowa, where he won his first presidential primary in 2007, before traveling to Chicago for the night.

Rocker Bruce Springsteen will be traveling aboard Air Force One for a couple of appearances alongside of Obama, the president's re-election campaign said.

Aides to Obama and Romney predictably predicted an election victory on Sunday.

"It is going to be a big win for [former Massachusetts] Gov. Romney," Romney campaign Political Director Rich Beeson told "Fox News Sunday."

Obama senior campaign strategist David Axlerod told Fox Romney's intention to focus on battleground states such as Pennsylvania was a sign of desperation.

"They have tried to expand the map because they know that in the states like Ohio, where they have to win, no Republican has ever been elected without carrying the state of Ohio," he said. "They are behind and they're not catching up at this point."

On Sunday Romney told a crowd in Des Moines, Iowa, "We're only two days away from a very different path, from a fresh start. Two days away from a new beginning."

In Concord, N.H., Sunday, Obama said, "I'm here today because I'm not ready to give up on the fight."
