Well that was amazing

As I said, we stayed up all night and watched the election -- from 7pm to 7am. In Denmark, we mostly had to rely on CNN, but it was still gripping. Their much-hyped hologram was rubbish though. They could have done the same thing by just compositing in an image (if they didn't cheat and just do that). We supplemented with regular internet checks and some Danish/Norwegian coverage.

I had to stay up all the way to the end of Obama's speech -- I got burned with the 2001 election when Gore hadn't won two days later. The speech was great closure, and I was very tired and emotional by the end. I don't think I've been that tearful during an election night since that time they voted Bush in again.

There's a lot riding on this man's shoulders now, but he will get some great people to help him get there.

Sometimes, things do turn out the right way.

Exciting Times

We're staying up late tonight to watch the election - it's going to be exciting. I really think that the American People have a chance to do something amazing here.

Of course, if they screw it up this time, we're pushing them into the sun.
