The first Tsunami wave is just rolling in over the Washington establishment.
Sitting here late at night (02:35 am) and watching the American election drama unfold minute by minute via a lot of different channels; I just want to say one thing – it is an honour to see a democracy in action where the common people are sending a very strong and clear message to the political elite. And are actually throwing them out.

I’m not even an American(I’m Canadian) and even I’m glad those democrats are loosing power in in the senate and house. Yes, they still have control of the senate, but if you look at it, you see that they lost seats and lost influence, and lost the congress.
