McDonnell received a warm welcome when he arrived in Alexandria, VA. I cannot recall the last time a Republican campaign held a GOTV rally there. (See more after the jump)

And Attorney General candidate Ken Cuccinelli (disclosure: for whom a family member of mine works), brandished the "McBollinelli broom" -- predicting a Republican "sweep" tomorrow...
McDonnell's daughter, Jeanine -- an Iraq war veteran -- addressed the crowd, saying, "We have a message to deliver tomorrow night."
Despite their optimism, each candidate stressed a simple message: 1). Don't believe the good poll numbers -- keep working, and 2). Republicans can win in Northern, Virginia.
Proving Republicans can win in NOVA, Alexandria City Council Member Alicia Hughes was on stage. A Republican, she was recently elected on the Independent ticket, but was supported by the local GOP.
