With multiple networks now calling Ohio for the president, Obama will return to the White House for four more years. Stay tuned for more soon from MoJo‘s David Corn, reporting from Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago.

On social media tonight there is much chatter about the 47 percent; Romney’s infamous comments to rich donors, revealed in the video published by MoJo back in September, marked an inflection point in the race by many counts. Watch the video here and read the full transcript here.

 

Thank you!

We didn't know what to expect when we told you we needed to raise $400,000 before our fiscal year closed on June 30, and we're thrilled to report that our incredible community of readers contributed some $415,000 to help us keep charging as hard as we can during this crazy year.

You just sent an incredible message: that quality journalism doesn't have to answer to advertisers, billionaires, or hedge funds; that newsrooms can eke out an existence thanks primarily to the generosity of its readers. That's so powerful. Especially during what's been called a "media extinction event" when those looking to make a profit from the news pull back, the Mother Jones community steps in.

The months and years ahead won't be easy. Far from it. But there's no one we'd rather face the big challenges with than you, our committed and passionate readers, and our team of fearless reporters who show up every day.
