The Republican Hispanic outreach is officially over

When Sen. Mel Martinez was named the titular chair of the RNC last November, it was always a bit of a transparent joke to try and curry the hispanic vote.

Well, I guess after shouting "Dirty Mexicans!!" for a couple years and skipping all the Hispanic debates and events, the Republicans finally accepted that a token appointment wasn't enough.
U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, who took over as the first Hispanic chairman of the Republican National Committee earlier this year with a pledge to reach out to minorities, is expected to resign the post early next year.

In a brief interview, Martinez, of Orlando, said Monday that he would quit after a GOP presidential nominee is selected in early 2008 because "it was a logical time."

My money's on another white guy.
