Sen. Martinez Steps Down

Miami Herald story

I'm guessing this is bad for Crist, or at least more troublesome. He might have to step down as Governor to avoid any conflict of interest implications. Any Florida Hoyas (or HiFi) want to enlighten us?

Why is it bad for Crist? It's being speculated he can have his appointee step down in November and gain seniority over every other freshman Senator (provided he wins).
