A Republican Rout

It's 9PM PST (midnight on the right coast) and the GOP has regained control of the US Senate. The exact margin won't be known for a while, but it is possible that when the dust settles they may have gained a stunning nine seats. Meanwhile in the generally overlooked House of Representatives, the GOP looks like it will enjoy its biggest majority since the 1920s.

I think Mr. Obama is in for a tough final two years in office.
