Where do I stand do you think? What would you do?

After 8 rounds of interviews the company told me they decided not to hire me. Now I just got an email from the person that initially referred me asking for confirmation of my certifications saying that he was appealing the decision to a higher executive. "We need your skills."

Does this happen? Does this ever work? Would you take a job offer after something like this?
