I shocks me to see so many people that are so ignorant, that means lacking of knowledge, about Obama. some people believe things told them on wanting what they hear to be true even when they are not. do your home work and learn the truth, simple philosophy, believe nothing you hear and only half that you see!!!

First two comments from wolf on cnn was "An African American" "Our First Black Man".. As if that were the significant point.. The Point is We have a new President elect… Who was elected on a platform of change. Try to grow up Wolf

Hope for the world!!! Well done USA!!

he's done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't think of much positive to say about Obama winning other than may be now CNN and most of the black population in this country will stop talking about how racist white America is. There is no way on earth that Obama wins without a lot of white voters. So may be people can stop playing the “race card” every time something doesn’t go their way. In addition, the double standard in this country needs to come to an end. You can’t continue to have these black organization that excluded other races (black colleges, BET, black newspaper & magazines, black radio, etc.) and not consider them racist. This is racism and you need to call it what it is. The racism I see in this country now is much strong from the black community than the white community. However, the media is afraid to address it because of this double standard. Blacks seem to be able to justify their racism. This needs to be address if this country is going to move forward with improving the race relationships and I am all for improving them. However, it can't all be one sided like it has in the past (in the past whites were always pointed at as being the racial issue and the ones that needed to change). White america's get tired of being called racist or listening to some black people or the media turn every little thing into a racial issue. This kind of stuff pushes both sides toward more racism even if they are trying not to be. Obama election has been all about change, it is time we see some positive change in the black community's attitudes about whites. This election was racist. Obama got 95% of the black vote not because of what he stands for but because he was black. That is a fact Jack. I am not talking about all blacks, but many didn’t have any idea about what he stands for nor did they really care. You may want to disagree with these points, but you need to come with some facts and data because I have much to back this up.

Congratulations USA from Canada !!!!

"There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures".

William Shakespeare

Four years for McCain to wreck th economy!
Four years for OBAMA to wreck the country!
Which do you prefer???

IS what i am hearing true about Barack Obama? Is he really not born in the U.S.? Did he have ties with a professor that was linked to the iraqian terrorist attacks? If you have any answers please leave a comment. ASAP
Thank You,
Girl from Alaska!

YOU "BETCHA" WE WON OHIO.

This is and very proud moment on earth and a milestone history of a century, after fourty year of the late Rev. Martin Luther King, I have a Dream; and after fourty year the Dream had become a reality, the USA had made the whole proud by electing Mr. Barrack Obama the first color President of USA.This is a signification that in USA dream is Possible, and our hope and dream is that Mr; President of USA Barrack Obama, focus and effort on Intl Policy and request change in African Continent, meaning Democraty and Accountability,emphasize the return of human dignity in the African Continent. ( Pierre Tchoundou, from: East – London, South Africa)

Alright people. It is all but over and Obama will be the next President. He was not my vote. Bush and the old Republicans in Washington did this to themselves and those who trusted them.

Let's stop with all the nastiness and come together and get OUR country back on track. Give the man a chance. Hell, Bush has 8 years. Support our President Elect Obama and let him have the opportunity to do that change he ran on.

If in 4 years it is not any better then we vote him out. That's one of the good thing about the United States of American, we get to vote for our President every 4 years.

I do wish that Pelosi and Reed would go home!

Look at the states Obama won…the entire northeastern part of the country. Now take a look at the red states, or as I like to call them, the redneck states.

People wonder why America is divided, and it's because half the people are still living in a world full of religious hate.

Perform an IQ test on the northeastern states compared to the southern and you'd see what I'm talking about. No offense to the minorities of these figures.

I just found out I lost my job today. So I apologize if I don't feel like a big celebration tonight. What would make me feel a bit better about things would be if everyone who reads this would send me $20. And if you don't, I think you are just being selfish and unpatriotic.

Think 24…African American president Terrorists attacking the US.culminating in a neuclear detonation.

Ive been keeping tabs tonight on the candidates and it says that no republican has ever won the election without winning Ohio.

GO BARRACK OBAMA!

I'm glad people didn't listen to all this misinformed rethoric and lies that republicans always spread… I'm happy people are tired of the status quo… Please don't forget to vote every time an election comes around…

Reading these responses show that hatred and ignorance still lives. We should all take a look at the way the world has changed in the last eight years and judge by that. We have lost thousands of brave soldiers, hard working american citizens both white and black have lost their jobs their homes and their stability. We are in need of a major make over in the united states. Mccain ran a good race but the fact of the matter is all people of all races have lost faith in the government. Facts state that the government has been run by republicans for the past eight years. It is time for the republicans to let the democratics get the job done. Bush messed us all up and all of you who are upset that obama may win need to admit that. Obama can do this he has my support and if in one year the economy is worse I will still stand by and be proud of the vote I cast on nov. 4 2008. God bless america and God bless all the people who have hate in their hearts because you will need it.

You all just wait – the PUMA's are still lurking… they're gonna spoil it for Obama… mwuhahahahaha!!!

go bama

Many congratulations from a Brit.

This is history in the making. I am so proud of every American who voted today, regardless of who they voted for.

I respect McCain, he is a good man and an excellent politicia, and that is something that won't be changed by this campaign and his mistake of selecting Palin as a running mate.

Thank you Ohio!

Congratulations, President-Elect Obama!

Yeah Ohio!!!

Remember a story about a race between a tortoise and a hare?

Minnesota for Obama, or should I say Mr PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

Good for us ,we need the change .

YOU SEE IT. ALL YOU HATERS CAN STOP….. ITS OVER….

You people have no idea what you have done. You will get change but not the change you thought the middle east is proud of you

Let's see how this will play out! Obama's 1st day in office-raise taxes, 2nd day-outlaw all guns, 3rd day-shutdown all nuclear plants and coal-fired plants, 4th day-withdraw all American troops from foreign soil, 5th day-hold a summit meeting with all the heads of Islamic States, 6th day-change the name of the country from the United States of America to the Socialist Republic of America.

"Um… I noticed that a majority of hate-filled comments contain spelling and grammar errors. It shows how uneducated some people are on the wrong side and why they stayed with Bush!"

Should be "Hum. I noticed that the majority of hate-filled comments contained spelling and grammatical errors. This shows how uneducated some people can be: those who stayed on the wrong side, supporting Bush."

Don't throw stones; don't be condescending.

It's time to reunite the nation. For all those saying that it's a sad day for America, that the uneducated voted for McCain, or that the uneducated voted for Obama, that McCain supporters are racists or haters, that Obama supporters are idiots… I have news for you: this is what democracy is about. America has spoken, now we unite and make this great country even greater!

Congratulations to President Obama. He ran an impressive campaign and earned this victory. Now, let's see him deliver, because for all the talk of unity and "reaching across party lines," there are a lot of promises to fulfill and a lot of people waiting for this man's star to crash.

I will be nicer to my white neighbors in Ohio for now on. You have made me proud of my state. Thank you

No surprise…since there are so many empty park benches that were filled by a Democratic judge stating park benches count as an address. Only in Dayton, Toledo, Cleveland or Ohio. Have fun screwing up this country the next four years. If anyone thinks the flag goes away, you can think again. This is America, and I'm glad to be part of it….Not Obama nation…..Pathetic…..

WHO SAID ALL BLACKS VOTED BECAUSE OF RACE?!!!!!! BE FOR REAL! I VOTED BECAUSE MCCAIN RAN A SHADY CAMPAIGN! HIS CHARACTER SUCKED SO DON'T FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP THE WHITE MAN IS TRYING TO SAY AND SUGGEST BLACKS ONLY VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!!!! THAT PISSES ME OFF!!

well done america. you are back on top:) i hope that the boorish, ignorant few will accept their diminishing roles as the minority and fizzle out.

Thank You Ohio!

I'm a french man leaving in Aotearoa,

America !

The futur is yours,show the world what you are capable of.

Natives,White,Black and the Rainbow become one to save the planete.

Vive la liberte,Vive l'amerique !

How can true Christians vote for Obama. Wake up America America America

the world congratulates the open minded americans and is glad to have you back. after the 8 year disaster it's good to see we've all learned something. go US! go Barack!

Liberal media bias + idiotic sheep of America + white guilt + black racism = an inexperienced, unqualified, socialist, radical, terrorist President. Time to take from the hard-working and give to the lazy and jealous. Don't forget that the economy failure is due to Democrats' green-lighting subprime mortgages. The idiocy of liberal Americans amazes me.

What a relief! We, your northern neighbours salute you.

I'm from Toronto canada and we're all glued to these stats right now. We treat this like it was our own elecion. The whole world right now is watching with patience and confidence in the American people to do the right thing. Obama is the truth and we ALL deserve hope.

Come on people. We are all citizens of this wonderful country. Why are we being vicious about this. We are about to have a new president. Personally, I believe that both candidates love their country and are patriots. Either one will give us the change we desperately need (although they may take us on different paths to get there). Let's stop acting as though this is some sort of sporting event where one team loses and one team wins. Okay, I'll get off my soap box now. Thanks. Peace.

WELL DONE OBAMA …BEST WISHES FROM NEW ZEALAND.
GO BACK TO YOUR MOOSE SHOOTING LIFE PALIN…YOU
CANNOT BE THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD!!
YOU ARE SEEN AS A JOKE BY THE REST OF THE WORLD.
HARD LUCK MCCAIN , DON'T BE A SORE LOSER, CONGRATULATE
OBAMA AS THOUGH YOU MEANT IT!!

I give it a year… then all the promises fall away.. One woman on TV tonight said she was so happy "Now I don't have to pay my mortgage, I don't have to get a job. It's a great day!" ** ugh. Bammy's got a whole lot of promises to keep. Let the games begin…

** I saw that at about 2:45pm this afternoon on CNN in one of their exit poll interviews.

I think it is wonderful how Obama is using the excess campaign money to help those in financial trouble……oops….I forgot, unlike other Presidents, he is throwing a big blowout multi-media bash in Chicago. Mr. Obama, How many mouths could have been fed with that money (even more in Kenya!)

This election is historic. Never in US history will there be such a letdown as in the next four years. The depression will be both economic and social.

This is the most nerve wrecking day ever!!! I pray the right one wins!
Its looking pretty good for Obama. I wonder how he's feeling right now.
its going to be a long night. Im going to be so tired tomorrow because im not going to sleep until i find out who our President will be!!!
God Bless

When will African Americans, speaking for myself get over the color of my skin and vote with heart, mind, honesty, reality, and not the lies or the color of my skin, which I will use against you, and have!

I grew up in a conservative part of Michigan. I moved to California in my 20s, and it was a liberating experience. I endured the misguided Vietnam war (initiated by Democrats), and became informed and educated along the way. I watched the Bush administration start another war that I vehemently opposed. I watched as the economy started to fail, and I wasn't surprised, though Allen Greenspan was. I've watched the Christian right exercise far too much control, and now I'm watching a change that I believe will be a vast improvement over what the Republicans have been serving up. I'm ready, however, and I believe Obama will be too, to work on mending the political fabric of our country. Rude discourse and ranting opinions need to be tempered with intelligent thought and commentary. Thank you Ohio!

Goodbye to GWB (greedy white boy) and his pitiful politics. How did our gov't grow 70% under republicans. McCain lost because he is still in the Oil Age, and it's over. The Stone Age didn't end because we ran out of stones. Today is a good day…

Thank GOD…..CAN WE GET ON WITH THE FUTURE ALREADY….BARBARIC PHILOSOPHY, BARBARIC FUELS, AND BARBARIC TOOLS…..TIME FOR SOME BALANCE AND REALITY. MAN CAN'T RULE THE COSMOS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT IT RULES US FIRST.

*hand salute* to President Elect Obama

MEANY HEAD however took my post OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um… I noticed that a majority of hate-filled comments contain spelling and grammar errors. It shows how uneducated some people are on the wrong side and why they stayed with Bush!

LET'S GO OBAMA & BIDEN!!! I've never been more proud or excited to be a Delawarean. Biden has done Delaware good and I know that with Obama, he will make our country proud!!

THANK YOU OHIO!!

What a wonderful day in America

I am not a democrat OR republican…I look at the facts and vote accordingly. I work very hard every day and am a 46 yr old single mother. I cannot afford health care, and I have lost 2 jobs under Bush's lead…Than k God for Obama….He understands what its like to struggle, Im glad OHIO finally WOKE up and voted in a REAL leader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from brazil we are looking for change thanks all Americans for make Obama our president!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! obama won in ohio i cant believe it i just have this feeling obama going to win!!!!!! he has to win i just could not take it if obama lost the election!!!!

Funny how the south doesn't want to vote for a black man?

Ryan–In case you know..the "educated" ones voted for the "educated guy"-Obama!! The rednecks are the "mindless"people who voted for the bimbo "palin"
And what expereince are you talking about? Just being 72 year old does not mean anything. And BTW, being able to see "Russia" from "Alaska" is "foreign experience" huh!!
The smarter and the more decent one won…:)

Good Luck America!!!
May you sleep well tonight!!!
Look in the mirror!!!
Read between the lines!!!
Beware what you wish for or receive!!

Can anyone find out if Obama has a brother that can run for Canadian office?

This is and very proud moment for the whole world and indeed for a humandkind and dream come true of one of most heros on earth Rev. Martin Luther King, Now the new President of the USA Mr. Barrack Obama had a mission to kick out all these rooting african president, from Gabon, Cameroon,Chad,Egypt,libya,,Equato -Ginee,Guine – conakry and Zimbabwe, on the serious note Mr. Barrack Obama had to emphasize the departure of these dictators and request accountability at the African continent ( Pierre Tchoundou from South Africa -East London)

Our friend "That One" is the president. You loser McCain. McCain go a do farming, get lost.

I am so glad that this election is over. A lot of people don't want to believe that racism is still alive and these past 18 months have proven that. Race should not have had anything to do with the election at all but it did, it should have been the best person for the nation not the color of their skin. I know several Democrats that voted Republican because they do not want an African American to be President. I just cannot for the life of me see how anyone could have voted for McCain/Palin the only thing I heard from them is what Obama wants to do or can't do well what were their plans for the nation? I can't stand to see her or even listen to her she acts like she is running for a popularity contest or still in a beauty pagent. I mean I just don't understand how anyone can think that she is qualified to be a leader. Wake up people it's time to let go of the hate for other races. I don't believe that any one color is any better than the other. I could care less what color the candidates were as long as they are Democrat that's the way I was voting. Let it go!!!!!

Whatever there Rethuglican. Get at me tomorrow. I'm going to be celebrating tonight.
Palin Phailin Piglin…doesn't matter. After tonight it's Sarah I-r-r-e-l-e-v-a-n-t.
Spelling smack = the last hope for tools that are beaten.

Way to go, ohio! I hope now that we can all come together and work for change as one nation. The worls is watching and shares our hope that America can again become the great nation of our ideals. Its been a rough 8 yrs, but not so rough that it cannot be repaired. Let's quit bickering, take time to mourn our candidate(s) who lost, and figure out a way to work together. Go buckeyes!

64 to the White House!! I O'bama can start measuring the drapes now.

OBAMA I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, I KNOW YOUR GRANDMOTHERS SPIRIT IS WITH YOU, I BELIEVE THAT IS WHY GOD TOOK HER, SO SHE COULD BE WITH YOU IN SPIRIT. BLESS YOU.

No more excuses….Obama President

The economy will be fixed…..
We will be oil independent at last…and forever…..
Everybody will have Good Healthcare Plans….(same as Senators)
Tax Cuts….
No more Wars….Bin Laden will be captured….
Last but not least………The END of the "Race Card" !!!!!

Obama won Ohio and Pennsylvania because he spent, spent, and spent almost 6 to 1 in advertisements more than the amount of money John McCain could ever dream of spending in the two states or nationwide.

Don't forget Obama is a 600,000,000 dollar Baby!

Good for him

'Obama for McCain' I will tell what is really sad: the fact that you can't even spell 'America'. It has one 'm' not two.

*No matter what your political convictions are this is an eye opener….What
a thankless people we are!!!

David Letterman, on President Bush. (Surprising)

David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see….

'As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been,
but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it
seems to hit the mark.' 'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine
and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be
true given the
source, right?

The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with
the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country
is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the
citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I
am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?'

A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days
a week?

B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer
and heating in the winter?

C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and
see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?

E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific
Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification
papers as we move through each state.
F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find
along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from
around the world is just not good enough either.

H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up
and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you
to the hospital.

I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.

J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a
group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch
equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family, and your
belongings.

K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a
burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a
bullet-proof
vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias
raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of
teenagers own cell phones and computers.

M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we
enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?

Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world
has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great
disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed
people in the world who do nothing but complain about what
we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the
good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no
plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval
rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days
after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of
recession? Could
this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for
succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist
attacks? The
commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending
you an d me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this
news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a
look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think
about it……are you upset at the President because he actually caused you
personal
pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your
sorry ungrateful behind every day.

Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have
volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.
There is
currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able
to refuse to go and end up with either a "general" discharge, an
'other than honorable" discharge or, worst case scenario, a
"dishonorable' discharge after a few days in the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of
Americans?

Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and
they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with
blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner?
The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They
offer what
sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying'
them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like
O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he
did he would have done it this way……Insane!

Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom
of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country.
There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed
people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be
thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of
control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the countr y
from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist
attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of
Allegiance?'

-David Letterman

I cant just sleep,but to see how Obama is barracking the votes to himself.Lets just let the old Man Mccain go to sleep.He should be retired from active job.The white house should go for people who are full of live.Welcome Obama to the white house.

Let the back-pedaling begin. Now that he's got the Presidency, be prepared for the great re-writing of the election rhetoric:

From now to Jan, watch how that magic number of who won't see a tax increase to change from $250K, to $200K, to $150K.

Then, watch the back-pedaling when they say, no, we meant FAMILIES that make less than $150K, so that really just means individuals making less than $75K.

Then, watch even more back-pedaling as they start saying they only mean your INCOME taxes won't go up, but that they didn't promise anything about all your other taxes (which will of course be going up).

I hope I'm wrong, but I think we're about to spend the next three months being told that what we heard isn't the same as what was really said.

just hope he's the savior everyone thinks he is…

if he's not, it won't matter. Charisma tends to do that to sheep.

Congrautualtions USA:

There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA IS UP MORE THAN 50%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

No wonder, it will not be an easy presidency. Look what legacy Bush has left us with?
Obama will need all of America to reverse this Bush effect.
We can Do it. And baby, we are.
History being made right before our eyes.

Repubs come on now. We've had 8 blood sucking years of YOUR president, get over urselves. Barack Obama will be a great leader of this country and I hope u'll be around when we reach across boundries and try to heal the gap.

GOBAMA !!!!!

Yes Ohio!!!

I am happy and proud of our new President elect Obama…. and the world is celebrating with us!

Happy day!

Note to republicans: maybe you guys can strive to lose with a modicum of dignity and graciousness…. don't you guys get that your hateful negativity is a huge reason you are losing!!!!! And oh yea, lest I forget… the unqualified Palin pick didn't much help either!

Obama/Biden 2008 and 2012

c-ya later mavericks…we won't miss ya.

Hey you Joe the Plummer…how does President Barack Obama sound…lol LLLandslide baby YEaaaaa

I hope you can come together to help President Obama fix the global challenges we all face. I don't know if Americans know how close you've come to being left behind as dead weight as the rest of the planet moves into a whole new united effort. Obama was your best hope and dam good hope if I do say so! He's going to need all of you with him so I hope those who are dissappointed can show their patriotism by standing behind your President.

Congratulations – Well Done!

@ Tony

We've suffered from uninformed unintelligent leadership and their devoted followers for the past 8 years.
Now step aside and quit hating while the smart folks fix the damage done by you rethugs.
Oh and by the way, until the rethug brand retools and becomes more "inclusive", you don't have a shot in h e double hockey stick of gathering more youth and minority vote. The party of the old stuffed shirts and fake Christian Conservative right is out.

this is really a great and important election . i thing change is great for everybody hopefully people will open there eyes and see that people r tired of strugling and suffering. its time for change and that change is obama

This country is ready for a change. Why not start in OHIO!! There is NO WAY McCain can win now!! ADD "em up

Repubs come on now. We've had 8 blood sucking years of YOUR president, get over urselves. Barack Obama will be a great leader of this country and I hope u'll be around when we reach across boundries and try to heal the gap.

Another congrats from a Canadian! Obama is no doubt the best choice for a better economy, and that's what Americans need right now.

BYE BYE SARA..YOU JERK !!

Obama All The Way!!!

God bless this country! we will need it.

I am a supoter of OBAMA and im only 11 believe THAT!
I Know i cant vote but still i hope and am pretty sure Obama willl WIN!

It was not written in the laws of this land, but the TEAM Is about change! GO TEAM OBAMA!

Congratulations to John McCain you have the popular vote! Not The colored or prejudice vote.

All I can think of is Acorn and the media.
What would've happened if the media had supported both candidates equally and acorn wasn't a part of all this.
Is the result tainted? History will tell.

Its a beautifull thing to see a black man reach this far in the race for the white house, i never thought i would see this day but thanks be to god i did and that very famous dream is upon us!

Finally got rid off the Bush legacy and his sidekick McCain. Good ridance

It's not the end of the road for McCain yet!
Miracles do happen, at the end of the day.
I can wait!!!

To all of the Republicans predicting doom and gloom: you guys ran the works for the last eight years. Its time to give someone else a chance. That's the voting process in a Democratic Republic (and I'm not talking political parties).

god bless america ,god bless obama and mcain, but only the right one will win tonight

I think both candidates ran respectable campaigns. The recent figures saying both candidates were over 60% negative are misleading.

The kind of negative that we saw in 2000 and 2004 was not present in this election. Nor was Karl Rove. Coincidence? I think not.

ITS OVER!!! Thank you President Elect Obama!!

Looks like HISTORY!! "bout time!!

thank Ohio , PA, you should be proud of your vote. You mad the right choice asta la vista old screwed up politic .Thank a billions hi ha!!!

I wnt obama 2 win cause i no he will make a change

if either 1 loss`s the electoral vote and wins the popular vote that will be a fight that will last past jan. 20th. people are tired of their votes not counting.

Joe the plumber, Obama will cut your taxes next year, isn't that great? Thank you Ohio, thank you! thank you! I love you all!

the spelling is "PALIN" Mr Butcher….and you'd better hope that CNN didn't speak too soon with only a 10 point difference with only 15% of votes accounted for…. remember CNN only PROJECTS, they don't DECLARE

No!!! ~ Its Obama Baby ~

Goodbye to Gidget and the Geezer!

Personally being from Ohio I never would've thought this state would vote Dem, but I've never been happier in my life. For once I feel like my vote mattered and was a part of this crucial battle. Barack Obama 08/re-election 2012

You people have no idea what you have done. Its not the change you think it will be

I have never been so proud of my country. This is history in the making. Congratulations, fellow Americans! Democrats, Republicans, and Independents unite! We have written a new chapter in the History books!

Have y'all noticed that not once has Palin said anything nice about Obama? I wonder how it feels to be mean and a sore loser. McCain, I feel bad for you because you are a good man, but Sarah Palin is an idiot. Fool me once, shame on You, fool me twice shame on me.
Sarah Palin you make me want to puke.

maybe now that Obama will win we can get back to what is important in this country and get away from the corpratocracy

To all of you who are gonna be mad if Obama wins you must be rich because if McCain wins all of us will be living in the poor house and gas will be sky high!!!!!!

Unity
The good black and white people of this country have spoken It is a mandate…..
President Barak Obama! Thank you GOD for letting me be witness to this day!

Hey, anonymous. Take your 3000 dollars and leave. All your money? Please.

Moving to Canada, go ahead and move. Leave the country to the true patriots that want to rebuild it after what Bush has done. This is one of the greatest days in our countries history. Finally we may have learned that hate, fear and division is not all of what the republicans made their minions think it would be.

WTG Ohio! BTW …. Do you realize your total number of delegates is off by 1. The total should be 200.

Congrats to CNN! for their Victory!!!

LETS GO OBAMA !!!! LETS MAKE HISTORY OBAMA 08′ WE CAN DO IT !!!!

ohio lets rock the vote!!vote for a change OBAMA

Apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur?

Congrats to CNN! for their Victory!!!

Obama there u go!the victory is ur,i believe u can make the world proud!rejoice oh u obama's supporter

ohio lets rock the vote!!vote for a change OBAMA

That's what we needed Ohio and we got it BOO YA let's go Obama you're the man we need in the White House.

It's a sad day for Cleveland and the rest of the state. As glad as I am to see record turnouts, I'm saddened by the results and what they mean for America. Oh well, does anyone know if taxes qualify as charitable contributions now that Obama is going to "spread the wealth?"

Congrat from Canada. Special thanks to rual America for voting with your minds.

we are all in this together. let us stop the us vs them and let the light shine. do not fear obama. it is time to move forward. count me in

Gotta love how the higher turnout of mostly uninformed follow-the-crowd has affected this election. It's scary, actually. Oh well, it's only 4 more years of ineptitude at the worst-case scenario and in the interim we can enjoy bashing Obama like the Democrats mindlessly bashed Bush for the past 8 years. It works both ways folks.

To USA:

You are welcome for us not making the same mistake 3 times in a row.

Congratulations President Barack Obama.

-An Ohian

As Jefferson and Adams feared the great experiment in Democracy is over. It was great while it lasted.

Just think how Obama will serve as a role model for many Afro-americans.This is like a dream come true!And what a brilliant first lady we will have!

Viva la libertad. Thank you all thanks to the most powerfull country in the world thank you mr president obama

You are the man BARACK!!!!

I understand that both China and Russia are now considered capitalist countries in the true definition of the word… enjoy!

Oh, you republicans are just the worst sports in the world. You lose a battle and you immediately cry foul play. There was no foul play here, your team just stunk. Game over baby!!! Go Obama Go!!!!!!

OMG…McCain just conceded the race…speech coming in 5 minutes!!!!

I can't wait until all these uneducated voters realize who they actually voted for. Obama has no business experience, barely any political experience, and no international experience. But he is going to save this nation. My god we have turned into a bunch of idiots.

Thanks Ohio. again.

(In case some of you don't understand the again part. Ohio voted for Bush 4 years ago. You can stop scratching your head now)

I still think it is too early to say. There have been some minor problems, give it about another hour and a half . It is so close, and alot of the older voters were waiting until today to vote, and many of them had to use a paper ballot.

Ohio thank you!

We all have waited for this moment! We can get back on track as a leading country.

Honestly, if you feel the need to support McCain and Palin…please do so under the states he won…on over here on the OBAMA-BIDEN side…thanks!

I thought it was important for my children to be with us when we voted. We pulled into the parking lot with about 20 spaces (half empty). My 8 year old wanted to know where Obama was. I just thought it was the sweetest thing, she actually thought he was going to be there when we voted! Thanks for all the coverage!

the change we need is approaching! that is obama!

I guess Joe the Plumber JUST couldn't bring all his plumber friends out to change this vote.

Obama should have had his supporter Muhammad, Kim, Fidel, and Hugo in a commercial with him!!

if ohio does go to obama – he wins – but you're basing reality on exit polls and partial results…don't count on it just yet

yippy ky yay obama

Big "O" for Obama. I am one proud american!

For the person who said "HA! Republicans, you are getting what you deserve! People are seeing right through your lying ways!", what you don't get is that both parties lie…once they are in office, there is no difference between a Republican and Democrat!

Yahhh! Finally Ohio voters woke up and realized who has their backs!

M J Christian if your statement is what your christianity is all about, I want nothing to do with it. We the people not filled with hate and the true patriots of this country have just spoken. You are sad and now in the minority. If you and your kind do not change the stay there will be long.

we are in a world of hurt, I hope you are happy now, you'll be crying in less than a year

I'll admit it OBAMA!!!! Obviously this country has been going down the tube & experience has proven failure finally the change we NEED!!!

This is a wonderful day change is coming
Congratulation for Obama and Biden

See John, God don't like ugly. Now you've lost the election, your dignity and your honor!!!

Was it worth it? Sleep on that….

great, just freakin' great. is there any capitalist society left on earth? I'm taking my money and heading there…

Well done OHIO!!!!
John and Sarah, we have some lovely parting gifts for you. Plain, yours is a one way ticket back to Alaska and hopefully a peach with an "im" in the front and a "ment" in the rear.
John, you get a thanks for your service pin and a well wish in retirement.

Yes we can!
obamanation here to stay

@David from Ohio

Don't worry, your state is redeeming itself by seeing through all the stupid lies :]

@MJ Christian

Can YOU admit you voted for/supported that epic disaster of a "president" you call Bush ?

If Obama does win…a sad day for ammerica(Note-ohio is definitly McCain, go to WTOV9.com.

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! Welcome back to the world! I'm watching from Canada and am so proud of you ALL for the effort and good judgement! Well Done!

Seriously I was proud to be from ohio until tonight. THis is ridiculous!!! Is the majority of this state seriously stupid enough to believe an inexperienced unAmerican liar can give our country what it needs!!??!! This is pitiful!!! I don't consider myself a republican, I was all for getting republicans out of office and electing a democrat until I sw who it was!!! I'm seriously scared of what is going to happen in the next 4 years and hopefully thats all it is and we aren't stupid enough to do this to ourselves again!!!!

The win for Obama is predicted to win based on mathematical formulas. This election they have been extremely careful about their projections. Even fox is saying the same projections. They are not trying to stop people from going to the polls on the west coast you tard.

Thank God I'll not have to hear from Sarah Palin for four years. And to be truthful, I hope she's the front runner for the GOP in 2012, for she'll surely guarantee the Democrats another 4 years. Go on home to Alaska Sarah, your 15 minutes has concluded.

This is a great day to be an American. First time we've been able to say that for the last 8 years!

This is NOT a good thing, people. Doesn't anyone READ anymore? Maybe everyone in Ohio is drunk…

McCain supporters can go to Canada and Mexico now.

QUIT ARGUING EACH OTHER PEOPLE, OHIO IS GONE!!!! OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT, PERIOD!

Obama's got it. Let's see how long the honeymoon lasts.

I've always been proud of my country until today unlike Michelle Obama

We are Barack'ing the Vote America! Yes!!!

Woot! I overheard a phone conversation and was worried but the guy on the phone must have been Republican. I am not sure Obama will fix everything, George made it a long hard road. After his 8 years in office I hope this nation has changed for the better.

Barrack's "contributers" or supporters in other countries are celebrating tonight with guns and plans!!!!!!!

Congrats President Obama!!!!!

isn't it wonderful!

jim

We won't know what his real politics are until he has been in office a couple years. He's had an easy time so far with endless promises of "change." We'll see how much change we really get. There certainly will be no excuses given that the Democrats will most likely control the house and senate as well.

THANK GOD! This is wonderful. I pray that Senator Obama turns at least 7 Red States BLUE!
I think that this will prove to the RACIST/BIGOTS/SKINHEADS AND PROFILERS ALSO THE MINORITY HATERS THAT GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY!!!!!

Game over, and the fake will now fade.

Yeah ohio.

Time of morning……

I am loving every minute of this. I have been listening to these conservatives and their love for Bush for the last 8 years. It is time to heal the wounds this man has caused to this country.

WOW…this is serious.

i'm in tears already…and i never get emotional…wowww…God Bless the US Armed Forces and the United States of America…

OBAMA/BIDEN 4EVER…

Kina.

I will never call Barack Obama President!!! This Election Was rigged from the start!!

IT'S ON AN POPPIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hero and hottie. Mccain and palin all the way!!!

That's crazy… I really thought all those robocalls and hatemongering were going to pay off…

As Ohio goes….So goes the nation

Caribou Barbie will be back to visit Bridge to Nowhere.

it's in the bag! Landslide baby!

Great… 4 years of socialism!! Higher taxes, less personal freedom… awesome!!!

Will the media ever admit to their support for their candidate?

change is needed, change has come, im glad ohio accepted it..change

GOD BLESS AMERICA! TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, WE ARE NOT ALL RACIST, HATE-FILLED MONSTERS LIKE OUR LEADERS OF THE PAST 8 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

told ya so.

IT LOOKS LIKE ACORN WIN THE STATE……

Canada loves OBAMA!!!!! Congratulations. Come visit us soon and bring the kids Barack. Go east first!

Could you explain the basis/method by which CNN "calls" various states – eg. WI with 0% reporting is called for Obama (my candidate), OH with 15% called for Obama, but FL not yet called even with 50% (I think) reporting

OHIO!

my son is a Buckeye!

My parents (deceased) are Buckeyes!

THANK YOU for voting for this historic

OBAMA!!

I look forward to the future!

Congratulations CNN!!
You've succeeded in helping to elect the most under-examined, inexperienced, pro-abortion, anti-family, anti-free-market President in my lifetime. You guys should get your group of reporters together and have a giant celebration. You did an outstanding job of tearing apart one candidate while worshiping the other. A special congrats to David Gergen, Wolf Blitzer, and their teams. I can only say this….I hope when the tax rates hit about 55% you all have to pay your fair share just like the rest of us. You should change the name of your network to "The Obama Channel."

Jeffreson county has not givin figures yet….

We are so screwed with the results of this election.

Thank you OH…keep your fingers crossed for NC and FL

It looks like the Civil War is alive and well!

why are you predicting with only 2% coming in…trying to help obama win by discouraging republicians on the west coast to vote. Low…

At this point, we need to go on with the concession speeches. McCain's fate is quite clear along with the repubs, in the dust and in debts.

Its over. McCain and Palin might as well go hunting for wolves. Its done

Yey!
Obama/Biden'08 and 2012

The politics of HATE and FEAR and LIES are over!!!!!
This is going to be one of the greatest days in American history!!!
Obama-Biden '08!!!

So when everything stays the same or even gets worse, will ANYONE out there admit they voted for Barack Obama today??? In two years, we can recover by voting in the Republicans back into the Senate and the House.

This is the most exciting news of the night as far as battleground states go! Yes way to go Ohio!

OMgoodness – this is amazing

Game over

It's quite obvious that God was not on anyone's mind when they voted today. "President Obama…." How much more WRONG can anything sound?

for the first time in my adult life, i am REALLY REALLY proud of my country

thank you Ohio!!!!!

I've never been prouder of my state than tonight.

thats it…
new world…

The 2008 Presidential Election
John McCain is like a gladiator,
while Barack Obama is a negotiator.
What's needed in this time of crisis?
Someone who could lead without bias.

We need one who's cool under fire,
and not seen as an impulsive liar.
Someone who can think on his feet,
and will never, ever concede defeat.

Someone who is intelligent and kind,
and able to get us out of this bind.
Someone that we can always trust,
and will do his best–that's a must!

Someone who'll know just what to do,
and always strive to follow through.
If he'll do so we'll all be blessed,
for he'll have weathered every test!

The Maverick and Mrs Moose are going down!!
