Not really a surprise that CNN calls it for Romney exactly at 8 pm. (7 central!) Not even close to a surprise.

Wow. Stunning victory for Romney here. Ya know, like when the Globetrotters win #NewtasWashingtonGenerals

Still plenty of beer left at Gingrich event.

CNN Exit Poll results: 46% of people said they voted for Mitt Romney; 32% said Newt Gingrich; 12% said Rick Santorum; 8% said Ron Paul.

ABC News One: ABC News projects Romney the winner of Florida primary; Gingrich 2nd, Santorum 3rd and Paul 4th.

CNN: Romney and Gingrich about even with the Tea Party vote.

CNN's election team agrees on the non-technical description: it's a "shellacking" for Romney in Florida

Do we think that the moon colony idea was the tipping for Gingrich? #FLPrimary

While all eyes are on the Republican race in Florida, Democrat Obama was at fundraiser with about 50 donors at a Washington hotel. Press pool was allowed in to hear Obama tell them that he’s proud of his administration’s track record, including 22 consecutive months of job growth, health care reform, Wall Street reform and the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell -- but he’s also mindful of work that remains, according to pool report.

#FLPrimary. That's when the Pander Express ran off the rails.

And Obama marks the evening with a second fundraiser - after raising some $1.7 million earlier. The president will deliver remarks at a fundraising dinner at a private residence in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with nearly 70 guests. Tickets for this event start at $35,800 per couple. That times 70 comes to $2.5 million.

Last night, Letterman monolog: "Newt Gingrich wants to build a colony on the moon. If Newt Gingrich is president I’m going to the colony on the moon."

Even if Santorum had dropped out of the race and Gingrich picked up all his votes, Gingrich would still be trailing Romney by three points (with 65% reporting).

Gingrich got 29 percent of women's votes on Tuesday, CNN says, citing exit polls. Remember this - that's among Republican only women. Florida is a closed primary - everyone who voted has to be a registered Republican. So Newt isn't appealing to Republican women - not sure how he'd play with Independents and Democrats. And there's a gender gap in US politics anyway, with women skewing more toward Democrats. Romney's win among men was only about 3 percentage points.

At Romney headquarters, cheering, flag and banner waving crowd, all heads turned toward entrance but no sign of the candidate just yet
