I spent the first part of election night making calls to Virginia and North Carolina, until the polls closed at about 2am over here, then made a few calls to Iowa and Colorado!!! Then my husband and I and friends (either there or connected by phone or internet) watched with increasing, what was it? happiness, serenity, reassurance, excitement. relief, hope, gratitude... a mix of all these feelings, as state after state was projected for Barack!
It was an extraordinary night!
I took my son to school at 8am and then finally went to bed for a few hours, only to be woken up every few minutes by happy friends calling to congratulate and share how good they felt about it all!!!
I'm still exhausted from my first all nighter since university but am walking about with a warm glow - I was part of it all amd it was magnificent!
