“TONIGHT,” exulted Rand Paul, the victorious Republican candidate for the Senate from Kentucky, “there’s a tea-party tidal wave.” And so, in almost all respects, there was. The Republicans, energised by the enthusiasm of tea-party activists, have picked up at least 60 seats in the House of Representatives. That exceeds even the Republican landslide of 1994 in scale, and gives the party its biggest majority since the 1940s. It more than undoes the Democrats’ gains of 2006 and 2008, and serves as a massive rebuke to Barack Obama. The president can no longer count on a Democratic majority in Congress to enact his agenda; he will now have to recast his presidency in the light of America’s abrupt jerk back to the right.
