Is there a Doctor in the House? Another Republican Falls Victm To Mysterious Virus Quitteritis

First to fall victim to this strange virus was Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, now today Florida Senator Mel Martinez (republican) shocks supporters by simply upping and quitting with a lame excuse. Someone better develop a vaccine pronto as the Party of Lincoln soon will be know as the party of Quitters and instead of an Elephant as their sysmbol, it soon will be Pinocchio. What's up with this quitting BS? They say they want the job then halfway into the task they bail,,,
Judging from the local comments at the bottom of the following miami herald article, doesn't seem like Mel will be missed by his constituents...We hardly knew ye Mel

"""TALLAHASSEE -- Sen. Mel Martinez told friends and supporters Friday in an e-mail that he'll step down from the Senate as soon as a replacement is appointed to fill out his term.

``My priorities have always been my faith, my family and my country and at this stage in my life, and after nearly twelve years of public service in Florida and Washington, it's time I return to Florida and my family,'' said Martinez, who had already ruled out a run for re-election in 2010.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Gov. Charlie Crist, the leading Republican to replace Martinez in the U.S. Senate, will have the power to appoint someone to fill the remainder of Martinez's term.

Crist has denied that he'd appoint himself. He's expected to make an announcement on a fill-in before the end of the August recess when the Senate returns to Washington. Some names already surfacing: former Sen. Connie Mack, former Gov. Bob Martinez and former Secretary of State Jim Smith."""
