Dem Jon Tester -- complete with flattop haircut, wide grin, and hunting gun -- offers his closer: "I'll always do my best to make Montana proud -- because the fact is, right here, right now, we need Washington to look a lot more like Montana. I ask for your vote on Tuesday."

Yesterday's Gallup poll shows Tester leading GOP incumbent Conrad Burns by nine points -- 50%-41% -- though the race has tightened considerably in recent days.
