Political bits (The Republican South)

(Politico) At a townhall, a South Carolina Republican Rep. dares to tell people they might want to turn off Glenn Beck. He's met by boos and people getting up and walking out. (Does the Limbaugh apology policy now extend to Beck?)

(NYTimes) Fla. Sen. Mel Martinez announces he'll resign and not finish his term. (Gov. Crist who is running for that seat, faces the minefield of naming a replacement. Any vote the replacement makes will be pinned on Crist.)

And, Jenny Sanford moves out of the SC governor's mansion.
