GOP official says it's over for McCain

(CNN) - The Ohio loss is a crushing blow to McCain. A senior-level GOP official tells me it's over. He's done.

There is no way he can win without Ohio, that was his last hope.

    "Thank God" is right. Eight years of Bush's mismanagement was enough. Time for a change!

    Nice. Really Nice... In the United States it's not over until it's over. "Senior-level GOP official" ought to be ashamed of themselves.

    I live in Ohio and good to see our state making a critical decision correctly. I have no ties to either party, but think it was time for a change in the White House. Good luck President Elect Obama!

    Yes, America has voted for change. BUT CHANGE TO WHAT? High taxes and defense cuts? That is always good for the economy.

    We're on our way to being a second rate country. But don't worry Obama will go talk to the Iranians and Al Queda – that'll work.
