Polls just closed in the portion of Florida in the Eastern time zone. Polls in the western panhandle close at 8 p.m. ET. (Fun fact: you can travel from Florida to Oregon and only lose an hour.) The general expectation is that the exit polls will allow the networks to call the race for Romney shortly after 8. TPM’s Evan McMorris-Santoro is at Newt’s election night rally in Orlando. A pretty subdued place tonight.
