I'm passing along an interesting rumor I heard from a friend who just spent some time in Florida among state Republican officials, involving our good friends Jeb Bush and Mel Martinez.
According to the report, after the new Florida governor Charlie Crist is sworn in, Mel Martinez will resign his Senate seat to serve full-time as RNC chairman, and the new Governor will appoint Jeb Bush in Martinez's place in the Senate.
Anyone else hearing something like this? My friend felt he was hearing this plan from fairly authoritative persons, but I'm frankly not sure.
