The Republicans and the Democrats have put forward hard hitting television advertisements in an attempt to secure voters with just 11 days to go before the US Presidential election.

The latest advertisement unveiled by the White House shows a pack of wolves prowling menacingly on screen as a female narrator accuses John Kerry of being dangerously weak on national security.

John Kerry's running mate, John Edwards, described it as a despicable and contemptible attempt to scare Americans.

For their part, the advertisement from the Democrats likens George Bush to an ostrich, with his head in the sand, and John Kerry is compared to a soaring eagle.
