The presidential race: Barack Obama wins the White House

As the polls closed in California, the television networks and the Associated Press projected Barack Obama as the winner of the state's 55 electoral votes, pushing him past the 270 electoral votes he needs to become the nation's 44th president.

In the end there were no battleground states. Obama secured the presidency without a winner being projected in Indiana, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Nevada, Arizona or Colorado.

Below is coverage of the presidential content from Politicker.com reporters across the country:

The 2008 Election in the


The 2008 Election in the United States of America is over…does this also mean that promises of the candidates are also over. I hope you have thought long and hard to whom you're going to vote for. Hopefully, America has made wise decisions. I hope the American people really thought about the issues in play before casting their vote on November 4th. It’s sad that the reality of how much people think about their political choices is less than studied. Some of us put more thought into whether to take out a payday advance than what the issues are. Listen to this brief audio snippet for instance. It‘s a recent episode of “The Howard Stern Show,” posted courtesy of BPM Deejays of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Roving Reporter Sal roamed the streets of Harlem, New York to get the opinions of men and women, to see whether they supported Barack Obama or John McCain for President. In actual fact, this was to determine whether African-Americans would automatically vote for Barack Obama simply because he’s black. Sal reverses the candidates’ positions on issues like the pro-life argument, stem cell research, the war in Iraq and who Sarah Palin is. Shockingly, many of the responses were brainless. Sal gets people to admit that they support Obama despite what policies he represented. This discussion has exposed something truly depressing. The truth is that many people are uninformed as to the issues. Many people try to play a part of popular opinions. I just hope that during the elections, you really thought about it.
