WATCH NOW: OBAMA TO WIN RE-ELECTION;
OHIO PROVES PIVOTAL, NBC NEWS PROJECTS

By Michael O'Brien, NBC News

Updated at 11:09 p.m.ET: President Barack Obama was projected by NBC News to win re-election to a second term, beating Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in enough swing states to secure four more years in office.

Propelled by an advantage over his Republican opponent in his Midwestern “firewall” – Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa – Obama prevailed after a long-fought election in which the economy, its slow pace of recovery and Obama’s management of it, became the central issue.

Romney’s path to victory vanished as NBC News declared Obama the projected winner in Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, states the GOP nominee had contested in a bid to expand his Electoral College map.

The battleground states of Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire, and Colorado – each of which were considered toss-up states entering Election Day – remained too close to call, according to NBC News.

The adults remain in charge. In our next episode, how big a scapegoat is chris christie gonna be? The GOPers are MAJOR grudge-holders. I wonder how much ground he's gonna have to try to make up. He'll be the fall guy now, for certain.
