And the election results are beginning to come in from the US.

BBC News has the latest here. They’ll keep updating as the night goes on.

I can’t stay up with you any longer to find out the makeup of the 110th Congress of the United States. But nothing is certain at this point.

Tomorrow I may wake up to a Congress that is no longer an international laughing stock.

I hope so.

Strange as it may seem, I still believe in America.

Tomorrow we’ll have a better idea of how the world will be for the next few years. I hope that it’s a better place when I wake up.

My thoughts and best wishes are with you all.

As better men than I have said: Good night, and good luck.
