When the contenders can’t come to Copenhagen, US Ambassador James P Cain must represent them at the election night party…
…giving pep talks (thumbs up) and discussing politics and the election with revellers and visiting Danish politicians.
Below: Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen greets the ambassador… 
…before giving comments on the election to the press. 
Helle Thorning-Schmidt, leader of the Social Democrats (below), visited the election night party… 
…as did Climate and Energy Minister Connie Hedegaard of the Conservatives (below)… 
…Pia Kjærsgaard, leader of the Danish People’s Party (below)… 
…and Margrethe Vestager, who heads the Social Liberals (below). 
No American party is complete without Budweiser, Coca Cola and Pepsi, as well as burgers and bagels, which revellers from the US, Denmark and many other nations imbibed in large quantities.
