The major networks have called the battleground state of Pennsylvania for Barack Obama. Between Fox News and CNN, Obama has taken 175 Electoral Votes, winning New York, the District of Columbia, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois as well as Pennsylvania. John McCain has been projected as winner in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, and Wyoming for 81 Electoral Votes.
This gives Obama 15 states plus D.C. while McCain has won 11.
Missouri, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina are too close to call. The popular vote is nearly tied, with CNN reporting Obama with 15.3 million to McCain's 15.1 million.
In the Senate, the Democrats are projected to pick up 3 seats including Elizabeth Dole's in North Carolina, giving them a majority. The Republicans have successfully defended the Georgia race and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's seat in Kentucky.
