Arrived back in London early this morning. It's grey and cold. But the warmth and the aura of Tuesday's stunning election result shine through as the newspapers publish pages and pages of Obama stories with front pages given over to record the historic victory.
Even The Sun headline reads: THE EARTH MOVED. We all feel moved by the last week's campaigning - the expectations are high, the enthusiasm and relief were tangible, and there are big lessons for us Brits in motivating volunteers and voters.
This is the final post for Virginia Real. Well, perhaps until we get closer to Inauguration Day on 20 January 2009. Bring on President Obama!

Welcome back! Let's hope some of the energy and enthusiasm that you've brought with you and which America is radiating, can now be applied here. Although we have had a Labour government for 11 years now, we badly need to re-connect and enthuse the electorate in the same way.
