MSNBC, Fox call Ohio for Obama

The state, which was key to George Bush's victory in 2004, has apparently gone blue this time around.

Barack Obama has apparently accomplished one very important thing that Al Gore and John Kerry could not: According to MSNBC and Fox News, he's won Ohio and its 20 Electoral College votes. Assuming that projection holds up, this election is all but over.

Update: ABC News has called it for Obama as well.
