USA Today: AP: Obama elected nation's 44th president - Democrat Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of the United States, the Associated Press is projecting, making history and completing a stunningly rapid rise to power by becoming the first African American to win the nation's highest office.
A projected California win put Obama over the top, giving him 55 electoral votes — enough to surpass the 270 needed for the presidency over Republican John McCain. The Illinois senator won key state after key state Tuesday, and McCain losses in Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania were harbingers of the outcome.
Only four years ago on election night, Obama was a newly minted U.S. senator-elect after serving for years in the Illinois legislature. Now he holds the title of president-elect.
