BREAKING NEWS: Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) is resigning, announced at staff meeting

This is not a slam dunk. It is breaking news at CNN.

This rumor has been out there for a while.

If he does resign, this gives Governor Crist a chance (who is running for Martinez's seat), to appoint himself. This also will help him in a possibly hard primary against a stone cold conservative, Rubio. It is about shoring up a seat to HOLD IT.

OK. That's all for now.

Per POLITICO, he announced this decision at a staffmeeting.
