First there was Republican King County Councilman Reagan Dunn, warming up the crowd of about 100 supporters out here in a small Bellevue warehouse behind Republican Dino Rossi's local campaign headquarters. No surprise, Dunn predicted a Rossi victory tomorrow night amid a great wave of Republican successes nationwide.

Then came Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna, who also spoke of "a wave surging across the country" and promised: "This country is going to start going in the right direction again."

Next, eastside Republican Congressman Dave Reichert, who brought the boilerplate: "This is a critical time for our country. We have a choice to make. The choice is clear. We are at a crossroads." He said Republicans are eager to be back in power in D.C. so they can turn their too-long-ignored beliefs into action.

Such as? Reichert explained:

We want our government to stop spending. We want our government to stop borrowing. We want our government to stop taxing. This is about America, ladies and gentlemen.

Not to be outdone, former Republican Senator Slade Gorton spoke of ten years of Democrat-induced darkness and declared: "Tomorrow that 10 year night will end in the beautiful dawn of Dino Rossi."

Then Rossi took the stage. He noted that some polls show him pulling ahead, but seemed anxious to make sure all of his supporters still vote. "Polls don't mean anything," Rossi said.

Stitching together parts of old stump speeches and scripted answers from the two debates, Rossi pledged to kick Murray "and her tennis shoes" out of the U.S. Senate, declared that she'd "changed" over 18 years from a budget hawk into a prolific earmarker, and promised to reverse President Obama's health care reform effort. "We need to repeal this health care bill and replace it with something that works," he said.

What is this election all about? Rossi explained:

This election is about getting your freedoms back.

A man in the audience who was standing under a large American flag yelled: "We're taking out the trash!"

And then the rally closed with B.o.B.'s "Magic," which Rossi's sound man told me "is kind of his theme song."
