Pennsylvania Goes to Obama UPDATE: Ohio, too.

Posted on November 4, 2008 by Jeff Fecke

So says ABC, Fox, CNN, and MSNBC.

If correct, that’s probably the ballgame. McCain doesn’t have a path to 270 without Pennsylvania.

Updated by Amp: Ohio has been called for Obama. This means that McCain would win every single swing state left — and still lose the election. The race is over; Barack Obama is now the president-elect of the United States.

    68 to go and 55 should be from California, not to mention other states. He’s also narrowly leading in Florida.

    You guys should have seen my campus tonight…all us godless, effeminate, baby killing, white hating, homo, fake America dwelling, terrorist supporting communists got together and went INSANE. When everyone was chanting “we are united, not divided” and some dude was holding up his flag it brought tears to my eyes. I love being an evil latte sipper

    Just for a bit of gloat, I highly recommend this essay by Grover Norquist, written a bit over four years ago. Here’s how it starts:

    The modern Democratic Party cannot survive the reelection of President George W. Bush and another four years of Republican control of both Congress and the White House.

    No brag. Just fact.

    I’m while I’m at it, I’ll quote this entire post by Ezra:

    Spencer Ackerman asks, “Remember in 2003 and 2004, when there was all this talk about how the Democrats were in danger of no longer being a national party?” I do remember that. I also remember how Democrats had to get religion if they ever wanted to be competitive again. I also remember how they had to appeal to the white heartland by nominating candidates more culturally recognizable to rural voters. Instead, they went in the opposite direction, running a candidate who was recognizable to the majority coalition Democrats hoped to have in 10 years. It seems to have worked out pretty well. It’s almost as if pundits don’t really know what they’re talking about.
