Ohio called for Obama - election over

Updated 9 p.m.

I just heard NBC make the call. I say it's unofficially officially over.

Google News’ election page gives Obama a big lead.



Indiana still not called for – whom? The fact that it's not yet called for McCain reinforces that Obama has indeed won Ohio.

Latest from Virginia has Obama closing to a virtual tie with 71 percent of precincts in. Suburban Richmond leaning Obama there, in more good news for him. Obama up three percentage points in North Carolina, with 50 percent of precincts reporting. New Mexico has been called early. Arizona still not callable, which says something about Obama's likely success in Colorado and Nevada.

Speaking of that, Google returns to date have Colorado Obama +10 with 10 percent in on precincts. Looks good. 8:55 Central – Rocky Mountain News calling Colorado for Obama.

Florida a little tighter, but Obama +3 with 57 percent of precincts reporting.

(Note: with states that had early voting, not sure how much of the early vote totals are in the mix. But, remember, N.C. had 70 percent early voting. And, each state that has early voting is different on how early voting results are reported.

Also, whether states have early voting or not, "precincts reporting" is not the same as "precincts final.")
