UPDATE: They just called Ohio and New Mexico, two Bush states, for Obama. There is no path to the presidency for John McCain. I’m calling it.

In a decisive victory, Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, becoming the 44th president and the first black president in history. Obama begins the transition period on Nov. 5, and will become president on Jan. 20, 2009.

God bless America! This is truly historic, everyone should be proud of this amazing election.
