Another One Bites The Dust

Florida Rethug Sen. Mel "Being A Rethug Is Hell" Martinez has decided not to seek reelection to a second term in 2010, joining the ranks of Rethug Senators deciding not to risk defeat at the polls. This hurts the Rethugs nationally, since Martinez was one of their most prominent Hispanic political figures. The chances of the Dems picking up this Senate seat are better than 50/50, especially if progress is made on the economy by the Obama Administration in the next couple of years.
