As John J. Miller of NRO reports:
Former housing secretary Mel Martinez won the Republican nomination for Senate tonight in Florida, defeating former congressman Bill McCollum in what may have been this year's hardest-fought GOP primary. With 92 percent of the unofficial returns in, Martinez has captured 45 percent of the vote, compared to 31 percent for McCollum.
"We won in every part of the state," says Jennifer Coxe, the communications chief for Martinez. "It speaks volumes about how well he'll do in the general election."
Martinez will fly to New York on Wednesday, and plans are already underway to have him speak at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.
Hopefully, this will move the Latino vote for Bush, as well.
