(CNN) -- Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama on Tuesday pounced on each other's tax proposals as they campaigned 90 miles apart in Pennsylvania.
Sen. Barack Obama slams Sen. John McCain's economic policy at a rainy rally Tuesday in Chester, Pennsylvania.
"John McCain's ridden shotgun as George Bush has driven our economy toward a cliff, and now he wants to take the wheel and step on the gas," Obama said at a rainy rally in Chester.
"When it comes to the issue of taxes -- saying that John McCain is running for a third Bush term isn't being fair to George Bush," he said.
Obama said the country needs a "new direction," adding that he's the candidate who could bring about that change.

In Pennsylvania, Obama holds a lead of 10 percentage points, 52 percent to 42 percent, but McCain's campaign has said it is buoyed by internal numbers not showing up in public polling. Watch the latest on battleground polls »
The state has 21 electoral votes up for grabs. Pennsylvanians have voted for the Democratic nominee in each of the last four presidential elections.
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell last week urged the Obama campaign to return to his state before Election Day.
