Polling closed here in Virginia almost an hour ago and it's tense as we wait for the results to come through.
It's been an amazing day. The enthusiasm and excitement for Obama has been evident everywhere. Voters queuing to vote from 4am this morning! Almost half of people voting by 10am! Hoots and cheering on the streets!
All despite rain in northern Virginia this afternoon. But not enough to stop people going to the polls en masse.
Today we've been out knocking on doors, leafleting and encouraging drivers to get out and vote.
The number and diversity of volunteers out for Obama has been astounding, as has the organisation of the Democrats on the ground in northern Virginia. All inspired by Barack Obama.
It feels like May 1997 when Tony Blair was elected in the UK.
The world waits...
