Barack Obama President-Elect of the United States of America; McCain concedes

Barack Obama has been projected winner of California, pushing him above 270, assuring victory. He has also been projected victor in Washington, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and also in Florida. John McCain has been projected to win Idaho, South Dakota, and Arizona. With Nebraska's votes in doubt, Barack Obama has taken a commanding 338-156 lead. He also has taken a majority in the popular vote with 46.3 million votes to McCain's 42.9 million.

John McCain has conceded the race and President Bush has reportedly called Obama to congratulate him.

CNN is projecting that the GOP has 40 seats in the Senate wrapped up, meaing they only need one more to keep the Democrats from 60. The Dems have already been projected gains of at least 10 so far in the House and were predicted to gain 20-30 overall.

This leaves North Carolina, Montana, Missouri, and Indiana too close to call with Alaskan polls still open.

On behalf of the Truth For Youth and its contributors, I'd like to congratulate the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama.
