Good Night, and Good Luck
- 10 Nov 06, 09:57 PM
Well, the mid-terms have come and gone, a wave crashing over the country, Congress, the White House and a bunch of very over-worked 大象传媒 journalists.
With the voting over, this blog is wrapping up too - but first, thanks are due to many.
I personally wouldn't have made it through the election season without , which works overtime to keep the politicians honest (more power to you!), and Larry J Sabato's , whose predictions were uncannily accurate.
Thanks also to everyone who made this blog such a success - the 15 大象传媒 journalists who cheerfully added it to their already huge list of responsibilities, and to you readers who contributed over 3,000 comments on everything from the economics of the oil business to where to get grits in London.
This blog may be closing up shop now, but keep your eyes peeled - Matt Frei resumes his Washington diary next week. Look for him on Wednesday.
Till then, good night, and good luck.

To the Washington bloggers,
This really has been a most fascinating insight into how things work in the world of American politics.
Although I enjoy reading Matt's Washington diary each week, with the Midterm Blog, we've been able to follow the political game at each twist and turn.
To the Washington Editor Andrew Steele, I really urge you to consider keeping some sort of "Washington Blog" going.
Something perhaps to parallel Nick Robinson's UK blog?
I've learnt far more over the past six weeks from the postings here than from any newspaper editorial or dare I say it, American news broadcast!
Please consider it!
Lauren
