Sen. Mel Martinez, who was one of the nine Republicans that voted to confirm Sonia Sotomayor yesterday, is resigning.  His resignation will be effective at the end of the August recess. 

Florida governor Charlie Crist will be making a replacement appointment.  Crist is regarded as a potential 2012 presidential candidate; this is a chance for us to see what sort of leadership we can expect from him on a national level.  So don't fuck it up, Charlie!
