Florida Governor Crist in the Spotlight After Republican Senator Martinez Resigns
The Sunshine State is buzzing over Republican Florida Senator Mel Martinez’s sudden resignation.

Joining The Takeaway to talk about this is Joshua Johnson of WLRN-Miami Herald News, and Al Cardenas, former chair of the Republican Party of Florida. He’s also a good friend of Senator Mel Martinez.
