Republicans rallying this morning in Springfield had a new prop: A broom that read "McBolliNelli" on the handle.

The Republican ticket is stumping throughout the state Saturday but began with a traditional GOP pep rally at Interstate Van Lines in Springfield. Gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell was joined by ticket mates Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, attorney general candidate Sen. Ken Cuccinelli and a variety for Republican luminaries, including Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

Before Obama is done, it is going to take more than mops and brooms to clean up the mess. We're going to need shovels, maybe bulldozers.

Looks like Virginia is getting started on the clean-up first, them and NY-23, hopefully New Jersey.

I was there. It was a good rally. The crowd was reminded that when the GOP made a comeback in 1994, Haley Barbour was at the helm of the RNC and now he’s head of the RGA. He provided lots of encouraging words for the crowd.

I haven't posted here since last year, but saw this thread and had to chime in. We went to the JCC rally late this afternoon, and Ken's broom made an appearance there too. The WaPo doesn't have a pic, so here's one I took. :D Photobucket We're fired up and ready for Tuesday here in the Southeast! Go Bob, Bill, and Ken!

maybe we should use the broom as a symbol after we win on tuesday. like the us submariners who put a broom on the periscope shrouds after a successful patrol, indicating a clean sweep.
the dims could match it with “a mop for every flop.”

Maybe there’s one closer than you think! From this schedule, it looks like they will be attending the victory party held in Virginia Beach. Start paddling!

I was about mid-pack at the Williamsburg/JCC rally (where the pic came from). I just have a really great zoom lens. :)

Be happy to post more pics if anyone wants to see them. Just let me know.

There’s always next year. We’ll be taking back the House. Someone’s bound to come visit you, then. Time to scoop up the candy your daughter doesn’t want! Bit-o-honey’s...anything with coconut...

Sure! The ones I posted I linked from the McDonnell site. It was nice to see George Allen in the mix along with the current crop of elected representatives.

They’ll take awhile to upload, but I should have some more up within the hour. For some reason his site has no pics up from our rally.

Unfortunately, Barbour and Allen weren’t at our rally, but I’m just thankful it didn’t pour down raining! It had been raining awhile, and was still raining when we went inside the office. But just before they arrived and we were all sent outside, save for a few drops, the rain stopped and stayed away. Very fortunate.
