Ohio Goes To Obama

Barack Obama Wins Re-election 2012.

It’s Over !  

As the results come in we’ll update this post throughout the night.  Not just Romney VS Obama, but other key House and Senate races also:

Update:  A message was posted on Ann Romney’s Facebook Page:

Status update
By First Lady Ann Romney
Just to let people know…the Old Media and the Opposition allegedly plan to claim victory BEFORE the polls close to discourage late voting for Romney. DON’T FALL FOR IT. Even if you are in line at 9 PM because you got in the door in the nick of time, right from work, and you haven’t had lunch or dinner, STAY IN LINE AND VOTE FOR ROMNEY. It is not a wasted effort.

10:30  pm  Update:

PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Romney Takes:  Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Georgia, Arkansas, South Carolina, Indiana, W Virginia, Kentucky, Utah, Alabama     = Romney 159 Electoral Votes

Obama Takes:  New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, New York State, New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, Wash DC, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan  = Obama 148 Electoral Votes

—8 p.m.: More pieces of the puzzle will start falling into place as polls close in the District of Columbia and 16 states, including battlegrounds Florida (29) and New Hampshire (four).

—8:30 p.m.: Polls close in Arkansas (six), where Romney is comfortably ahead in surveys.

—9 p.m.: Polls close in 14 states, including battlegrounds Colorado (nine) and Wisconsin (10). Democrats have carried Wisconsin for six straight presidential elections and Obama had the edge in polling going in, so a flip here would be especially noteworthy.

— 10 p.m.: Polls close in four states, including the last of the battlegrounds, Iowa (six) and Nevada (six).

—11 p.m.: Polls close in five Western states, but most are foregone conclusions for Obama. He gets 78 electoral votes from California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington; Romney gets four from Idaho.

— 1 a.m. Wednesday: The last of the polls close, in Alaska. Romney gets three electoral votes. Will many people still be up?

Political junkies could well be waiting to see how things play out in one or more battleground states.
