FLASHPOINT for Nov 15, 2006

Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2006 | 7:11 a.m.

So what does a party do when it gets crushed at the polls? It changes leadership. Thus, national Republicans announced Tuesday that Florida Sen. Mel Martinez will become the face of the GOP. So what about the local Republican elite? The party probably sees mixed results with wins at the top but serious losses in four of six constitutional offices and the shocking defeat of state Sen. Sandra Tiffany. Chairman Paul Adams is seen as a maverick or a loose cannon, depending on whom you are talking to in the GOP. So who should take over? Nominations: The ever-voluble, ready-to-attack activist Chuck Muth? Or how about the more laid-back Steve Martin, the outgoing controller? Or a legislator such as state Sen. Bob Beers? I am so helpful.
