Unbelievable!

It's still hard to believe. Did we actually win? Are the polls closed? Is there a problem in Florida? In 2004 I was going door to door -somewhere in New Hampshire, minutes before the polls closed, asking those we had identified as Kerry supporters if they had voted. It felt desperate. New Hampshire went for Kerry by a very narrow margin that night, and as we drove home to Massachusetts - struggling to stay awake, we were hopeful that the Granite State would be the difference, nationally. It was a very long, and painful night. I think I passed out on the couch, about 2:30 a.m., after Florida had swung back and forth, and after hearing news of long lines and strange polls out of Ohio. It took a long time to recover from that. But in 2007 we somehow got out of bed, drove north to New Hampshire, and once again went door to door. Janet - to be honest, began as an Edwards supporter. I was for Chris Dodd. Eventually though, we joined Obama. On election night we were fairly confident - intellectually we knew that it was going to be our night. But emotionally we were all a bundle of nerves - waiting for the bad news. It never came. Indiana not only didn't turn immediately red at 7:30, it looked rather blue. Did Indiana really go for Obama? Virginia? North Carolina? It's still hard to believe.
