Election-night live blog: Barack Obama is the next president of the United States

We’ll be live-blogging through the night here. A number worth noting from the exit polls is that 62 percent say the economy is their top issue, that’s very good news for the Obama campaign. Also consider the weights that McCain is running with–76 percent of voters think the country is on the wrong track and George W. Bush’s approval rating is 27 percent.
