Barack Obama: “Thank you. Thank you, everybody. How do you like my new entrance music?”

This race is going to be close. It could determine which party controls the Senate and whether Ohioans can count on the people in Washington to be fighting for you.

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.

People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
