Millions of dollars have been spent on TV and radio ads for the U.S. Senate race. However, the last day of campaigning between these candidates boiled down to basic politics – talking to the people.

There were no high-profile political celebrities campaigning with Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan or Republican challenger Thom Tillis on Monday's election eve after a week with Bill Clinton, Mitt Romney and John McCain appearing with the candidates.

Hagan and Tillis focused instead on efforts by supporters in the campaign's final hours. Hagan visited her Cary field office Monday morning to encourage workers preparing to knock on doors. Tillis visited a GOP campaign site in Cornelius and made phone calls to voters.

Tillis and Hagan are running close in polls. Libertarian candidate Sean Haugh could be a spoiler.
