If the polls are correct, the result could be as close as 8PM polling day :) ABC has also picked up the story of McCain saying his information is that the election result is closer than people think.

Ron Paul (R-TX) is on the ballot in Montana on the Constitution Party line and could play the role of a spoiler. Although Paul has not campaigned in the state, he is popular in this libertarian state and could draw votes away from John McCain here.
