Update - Obama projected winner of Ohio

CNN and Fox News are projecting Barack Obama as winner of Ohio, a major swing state, and New Mexico while they are calling Louisiana for McCain, giving Obama a commanding 200-90 electoral lead. With the typically Democratic West Coast factored in, that would give Obama 273 electoral votes and victory.

The GOP has never won the Presidency without Ohio.

These are just projections, and the actual result may differ as in Florida in 2000, but it certainly seems that the road is open for Barack Obama to win.

Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Colorado, and Virginia are still too close to call.
