04:04 The Big Enchilada, California, with a whopping 55 electoral votes, has propelled Obama to victory! The Democrat has also notched up a seismic win in Virginia; a truly epochal result. Virginia contains Richmond, once the capital of the Confederate slave states; it hasn't voted for a Democrat since 1964. This is a state where, as recently as 1961, Obama's parents' mixed marriage would have been ruled illegal.

04:01 Obama is projected to cross the 270 electoral vote threshold to become the 44th president of the United States!

Listening to McCain's speech now... Gracious!
