Obama Wins Ohio

So much for Joe the Plumber helping John McCain in Ohio.

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama moved within 70 electoral votes of becoming the first African-American president in history on Tuesday night, winning Ohio, Pennsylvania and several other large Eastern and Midwestern states, according to projections by NBC News.

Obama won his home state, Illinois. Republican Sen. John McCain was in a close fight in his home state, Arizona, in a race that NBC News said was too close to call.

Arizona should be an easy win for McCain.
