Between 8 and 9 Eastern Standard Time most networks projected Obama as the winner because of the electoral college and the fact that Romney hadn't won any battle Ground states. The House is still majority Republican and likely the Senate is still Democratic majority. Another deadlocked Congress likely looms which tends to be good for the richest of people and bad for the middle class and poor.
