Election results: Obama able to capture new states

Obama was able to not only hold onto all of the states that were won by Kerry in the 2004 election but also able to win some stongly republican states in the mountain/plains region. He won in both Monatana and Nevada, both states that voted Bush in 2004. His victory became clear as well when he took Ohio, anothere state that voted bush in '04, a state that no president has ever lost. This re-coloring of the map of the U.S. from red to blue could mean big things for future elections and could make for many more battleground states in future presidential elecitons.
