The final major rally in Manassas, Virginia, on Monday night, marked the 20th time his campaign has stumped in Virginia.

Sen. Joe Biden will also visit the state Tuesday when the polls open. Obama's plane landed in Chicago after 1 a.m. ET Tuesday. He made no more campaign stops, however, ending a difficult day that began with news of his grandmother's death.

McCain campaigned until nearly 3 a.m. ET, concluding in Prescott, Arizona.

McCain rallied on the steps of the courthouse, where his hero Barry Goldwater launched his 1964 presidential bid. The site is also where McCain always makes his final stop in his Senate campaigns. Earlier Monday, Sen. John McCain called on Pennsylvania to help him erase his deficit in the polls and score an upset over Sen. Barack Obama. "Just one day left until we take America in a new direction. We need to win in Pennsylvania and tomorrow, with your help, we will win," McCain said, pounding his fist on the podium at an event in Moon Township. Volunteer, knock on doors, get your neighbors to the polls. I need your vote," he said.

Obama leads McCain by 8 percentage points in Pennsylvania, 51 percent to 43 percent, according to CNN's latest average of state polls. Watch Obama's last rally, in Virginia »

McCain's campaign has said it is buoyed by its internal numbers not showing up in public polling.
