Election Eve

It's hard to believe that this is the last night of the campaign. It is almost 19 months since Barack Obama announced his candidacy in the presidential race on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois and what a 19 months it has been. I have been personally involved over the past three months and it has been an intense but rewarding experience. I can only imagine what it has been like for Senator Obama and those who have been involved from the beginning.

Today, after a full day's canvassing and an evening's phone banking, I should have been exhausted but there is such a buzz in the office it is hard not to be excited. Everyone is working flat out and taking nothing for granted but there is definitely a carnival atmosphere in the air to the point that it makes you giddy. Jitters mixed with caffeine, unhealthy fast food and sweets have made me feel like a young boy waiting for Santa to arrive on Christmas Eve. I just hope he brings the one thing I asked for and not a Mc Cain-shaped bag of coal.

To give you an idea of what it's like in a presidential campaign office on the eve of an election, I filmed a video tour for your benefit. Just click here to view it.
