Northeast coast blue for Obama

November 4, 2008

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama cemented an early lead by winning Pennsylvania, one of the hottest campaigning spots for both parties. Its 23 electoral votes brings his total to 103 to McCain’s 34, according to MSNBC.

The Illinois senator was projected to prevail in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, DC. Results for New York and Rhode Island are not in. Obama also was projected to win his home state of Illinois.

Republican John McCain was projected to win Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Oklahoma.

Got something to say?
