There was surprise in a small Ohio bar at the size and speed of Barack Obama's victory, with state after state turning blue on huge flat screen televisions usually devoted to showing American football.
Early in the evening, there were shouts of joy and exasperation when Obama won the crucial prize of Pennsylvania.
When he picked up the local vote by winning Ohio, the deal was more or less done.
"As Ohio goes, so goes the nation," said Jeff Kozy, a dentist who had hoped for McCain victory ." It looks like we'll be moving in a socialist direction now."
With 55 percent of the vote counted, Obama was only narrowly ahead in Ohio by 51 percent to 48 percent. But the State has backed the Winning presidential candidate in every election since 1960 and is viewed as a crucial indicator of the nation's direction.
