The results of the midterm elections are eagerly awaited world-wide, with the expectation that they will be a sanction for George Bush. The details of the inner workings of Congress escape much of the international audience, but the potential significance of a change in majority in Washington is plain for all. Yet, the election is mostly followed as a precursor to the presidential choice in 2008. There is considerable interest in the fate of potential headliners: George Allen's melt-down, Hillary Clinton's sovereign campaign, or Barack Obama's emergence. The results tonight will be followed more closely than ever - in that light, but also as an indication of future restrains on the Bush administration's foreign adventures.
