Shocking news with Senator Mel Martinez resigning early. I wonder who Governor Crist will appoint. I am sure he wants to appoint himself, but that would not be a smart political move. He should appoint a caretaker until he can win the seat outright. There are plently of Florida Republicans out there who can fill the position for the remaining year or so. Among the possible candidates include former Governor Bob Martinez, former Lieutenant Governor Toni Jennings, Florida Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer, former Congressman Clay Shaw, and Florida Agricultural Commissioner Charles Bronson.
