Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) could be ripe for a challenge for his seat in 2010, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.

Only 36 percent of voters in the survey said Martinez deserves a second term. More voters — 38 percent — say that he doesn’t, and 26 percent are not sure. When asked whom they would vote for if the election were held today, 40 percent said they would support the Democratic candidate and 36 percent said they would back Martinez.

It doesn't have anything to do with illegals and amnesty.

It has everything to do with Tancredo's statements that the legal immigrants in Florida are a bigger problem than the illegals, that south Florida is a turd world country.

Delay had the same software as the judge.

Excuse me? That comment is nonsensical.

Tom Delay had nothing to do with Henry Bonilla losing.

And Delay unlike Hastert and Boehnher is actually a facsimile of a leader who took in to the rat party.

Martinez, Chambliss, Coleman, Burr and on and on need to be dumped! Why keep these scumbags when they will just turn on the conservative base.

Sure he did. He knew the lines he drew wouldn't hold up in court.

Any way, Bonilla didn't lose in Laredo. He lost in Maverick County and because GOP voters in San Antonio didn't turn out.

Poppycock. The last thing anyone in the Texas GOP wanted was for Bonilla to lose, you can thank democrats for it, not Delay. You want to tell me what your gripe is one one of the few effective leaders the GOP has had recently? You must really loathe him to invent nonsensical lies about driving Henry Bonilla from office.

Certainly not, cause Laredo under the new map is entirely in the 28th district. He lost cause of heavily rat Southern San Antonio.

He only won in 2002 because the Bush family went all out to get him elected. I hope a good Republican goes after McCain, too.
