A standing-room crowd went wild and wilder in the ballroom of a Hilton hotel in downtown Cleveland as the number 270 got closer and closer. Meanwhile, about 45 excited students packed into a dormitory lounge on the Drake University campus in Iowa to watch election results roll in on CNN, nibbling on red, white and blue food (red salsa, graham crackers with white frosting and blue - O.K., technically purple - grapes) and drank red and blue Hawaiian punch.

"What on earth are you doing there?" my 11-year-old daughter sensibly inquired on the phone one day when I explained where I was staying. It's a question all visitors to Tallinn could find themselves trying to answer...
