WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida will resign from the Senate this fall, more than a year before his term ends, according to several GOP sources.

[walsh]

About time.

And hoping Rubio takes his place.

[mathprof]

I hope Crist appoints Rush Limbaugh.

Welcome to two hours ago

[rstrahan]

Thank God and Greyhound he’s gone.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Such a quitter he is. Will the media portray him as a quitter, perhaps he has a scandal about to come out. Is he divorcing his wife, ethics complaints perhaps? It’s a shame Obama doesn’t resign. I’d throw a party if that happened

[Always Right]

I hope Crist appoints Rush Limbaugh.

Or Katherine Harris. But instead, I am sure there is a RINO somewhere he will find.

martinez is a rino who voted for sotomayor

[Cheetahcat]

Yes and go to Hell Mell.

[marron]

That was my first thought, “quitter”.

In jest, of course. Its probably a good move, they probably have it all planned out.

[Humal]

Can Christ appoint himself?

[Venturer]

***martinez is a rino who voted for sotomayor***

Had to stick that knife in us before he left.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well if Little Chin appoints Rubio then a potential gubernatorial rival will be gone.

[SERKIT]

I smell a fish. Did Rahm find something on this guy?

[Will88]

I vote for Katherine Harris, but I’m sure the metro-sexual RINO Crist will act strictly in his personal best interest.

And, Crist might nominate Jeb Bush to set Jeb up for a presidential run, and to set himself up for a run at the senate seat Jeb would vacate in 2010.

[ShandaLear]

That would be awesome! Talk about brains exploding.

[anniegetyourgun]

I expect he’ll switch parties eventually.

[Cheetahcat]

The RINO Rat should have stayed in Cuba that way a Real American could have filled the seat and have done some good for the country.

And, Crist might nominate Jeb Bush to set Jeb up for a presidential run, and to set himself up for a run at the senate seat Jeb would vacate in 2010.

That would be the final nail in the GOP coffin.
