Nov. 4 – Editor's Note: Good morning. It is election day in America and I hope you have already been able to vote. It's been a long road and and an intense election season and in some ways I am thankful it ends (hopefully) today. I will be watching the election from Berlin and am signing off until Wednesday morning. Until then, good luck and happy election day! I'll be back soon with a selection of post-election commentary.
