Fla. Sen. Martinez Won't Run in '10

Florida's Sen. Mel Martinez won't be running for re-election in 2010, leaving open a senate seat that's sure to attract big money and fierce partisan competition. The first-term Republican was a sure Democrat target anyway, given that his constituency is split on whether he deserved another shot in Congress. Martinez is seeking more free time by retiring, insiders tell the Washington Post.
