CNN is reporting that Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) has been picked by President George W. Bush to head the Republican National Committee.
Martinez, a Cuban-born Senator elected in 2004, is staunchly conservative on most social issues.
The Senator has been the target of an FEC investigation into the under-reporting of campaign debt by half a million dollars and another FEC complaint regarding improper solicitation of corporate donations.
