As the 2008 presidential election approaches we're hitting the road to find out what core values Americans hold in common. Each day we'll create a short video portrait of an American community that reveals the issues that are influencing voters. The road leads through swing states Pennsylvania, Iowa, Michigan, and Colorado, as well as the diverse communities of Las Vegas and New Orleans as the day of the election grows nearer.
