Well, the polls are closed and at least two TV outlets, WBZ and NECN, are calling it for Patrick.

Interviewed on NECN, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom, in an awkward attempt at snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, spun it a blessing in disguise for Massachusetts Republicans. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

UPDATE: With 0% precincts in, BMG went out on a limb and called it for Patrick at 8:00:00:01.
