According to CNN, Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL), just elected in 2004, will run the RNC after Ken Mehlman steps down.
I guess it looks like Martinez will juggle both being a US Senator and head of the RNC. I think he should choose which he wants rather than leaving Floridians in limbo of having a Senator with two jobs.
Hopefully Democrats won't think Martinez is "unattackable" just because he is Hispanic. That's definitely a Republican goal here.
