Obama wins re-election, CNN projects
Washington (CNN) - Barack Obama will be re-elected as president of the United States, CNN projects. He will win the critical swing state of Ohio, putting him over the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the White House, CNN projects
Mitt Romney took an early lead over Obama with more than half the races decided Tuesday, but the Republican challenger lost both his home and birth states and was trailing in key battleground states, according to unofficial returns and CNN projections.

God Bless You Mr. President.
What a great night!!!!!!
Now that Obama is here to stay for another four years, can we PLEASE come together and get something done for the country? Democrats should not gloat, Republicans should not pout - there's no time. Get to work come Tuesday and let's get on with the business of the country.
as a female, senior citizen, disabled veteran and one of those 47% that your opponent spoke about, and one who didnt want to bail out the auto industry which so many depend on in this region, i want to congratulate u on a second term of office, and being true to the heart and soul of this country. we love you and your family so much.Lets keep moving forward! thanks and lets get going.
He sure has some nice teeth. And a Harvard brain to boot!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 WINS. SEE YA IN 4 YEARS, GOP!
God bless Obama, USA.
Great Choice America!!! Obama 2012!!!!
To Four and Truth and Ancient- Thanks for all the spirited conversations.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Canada is very happy for you!!!
And so far the electoral map looks vaguely familiar, where have I seen it before?
Oh yeah, that one term celebrity, Nate Silver!
By all means, keep using those GOP forecasters within the Fox echo chamber, that use old goat bones and chicken legs to forecast election results.
Continue to ignore science and mathematics.
Please.
Hey truth hurts and Friends .
Please work with our president , we need to work together .
All the best to you GOP guys and gals.
See you in three years , till then remember , TRUTH DOSNT HAVE TO HURT !
God Bless America , All of us !
Time to go back to the popular vote. America voted Romney, the system chose Obama.
Yes we can
GOP ready for 2016 Hillary
Again Bill Clinton and Obama will campaign for Hillary Clinton
Somebody check on truth hurts....maybe he's helping mitt write that speech he didnt think he was gonna need....lol Obama 2012 thank you america
I sure hope Truth Hurts and Four and the Door show up and back up all the crap they spewed coming down the stretch.
Seriously! I challenged both of them to show up with their EXCUSES.
So... Im waiting. But not for long!!!
Gonna crack open some champaign with the Mrs after we put our son to bed and celebrate common sense winning out over fear and ignorance.
Obama 2008 & 2012
Now lets finish the clean up job!
Why is Ron Paul at the top of the Ticker when President Obama JUST WON REELECTION?
Please remove his comments as they are not relevant. Period.
Also, thank you to Colin Powell, M. Bloomberg and yes, Governor Christie. I think it was the turning point in the election and changed quite a few minds.
Obama/Biden 2012-2016
God bless America and the great people. Americans have decided and its time to get to work now. Cogratulation Barack Obama.
Checkmate...now that's how you play chess!
Let's move this country forward Obama/Biden 2012!
America voted Romney, the system elected Obama. Time to eliminate the electoral college and reinstate the popular vote.
Did someone say " may the BEST MAN WIN "? He did.
So glad so many republicans like me voted for Obama! My family and I just could not vote for Romney since he lied so much. The republican party has lost a lot of people's respect. Let's see if they will win it back on how well they work with President Obama over the next four years!
I think Mitt Romney and the Republican party owe it to Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh for their help and the celebrations for success.
If the problems we have today don't change for the better within the next 4 years then Romney should have won.
Obama didn't help us in the last 4 years why do u think hes going to do it now?
We are very happy for victory May GOD add you more wisdom for leading the world!
Hey truth hurts.....truth hurts....lol
What has he done for this country in the last 4 years?! Please someone tell me what a great job hes been doing.
