John McCain has defeated Barack Obama in Missouri--the last state to be called in the 2008 presidential election, according to the Associated Press and several other major news organizations.
And boy it was close one. According to unofficial results, McCain leads Obama by 3,632 votes out of nearly 3 million cast--a margin of 0.12 percentage points.
McCain's win in Missouri breaks its tradition as a bellwether for the rest of the country--Missourians had picked the winning presidential candidate in every election since 1956.
Missouri's 11 electoral votes make the final electoral count: Obama 365, McCain 173.
