**Special** 18 Doughty Street Election Night

18 Doughty Street will be broadcasting live coverage of the US mid term elections tonight from 8pm till 2pm in a special extended show.

Will the Iraq war have seriously damaged the Republicans? Will the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives. What are the implications for the race for the White House? Will George W Bush become a lame duck President?

A heavyweight panel of experts in US politics have been lined up including Simon Burns MP, and representatives from both the Republicans and Democrats abroad.

Make sure you visit 18 Doughty Street from 8:00pm for live streaming.

Iain Dale said,

"We'll be the first UK broadcaster on air with coverage of the US midterms – our coverage starts a full 4 hours ahead of the BBC. We'll be using US bloggers to find out what's happening on the ground in those key battleground states and analyzing the first results with a panel of well informed guests. It'll be a rolling six hour long programme and we're looking forward to hearing from Tim Montgomerie who has spent the last week in the US on the campaign trail."
