Flag of United States  , North Carolina
Thursday, November 6, 2008

On election night, I had rushed downtown later that night, to be with my team the rest of the night. They were all happy and partying, as we went back to the office - but there was one little issue nagging us all; North Carolina had not been called for either candidate, as the numbers were simply too close. As the night wore on, it became clear we would not get an answer, a closure on what we had been working so hard on. Some had been here for months - so don't tell them that North Carolina is not important, even as Obama had already won by a landslide.
 
But today, finally, somewhere in the constant flow of other news items, North Carolina was finally called - for the good guys ! I can only imagine that Eric, Damian, Spencer, Stephanie, Dan, Chris, Alex, Phoenix, Jessica and Victor (who did I forget) were cheering as much as I was !
 
When people here in Denmark ask, I take credit. The margin ended up at only 12,000 votes in Obama's favour - and I'm sure that's exactly the 12,000 doors I've knocked on ! Who said that sticking flyers in doors doesn't help ? I chose to believe that I made a tiny little difference in electing the next American President - we all made that tiny little difference...
