ORLANDO, FL --
Interesting words from Sen. Mel Martinez as Barack Obama travels through his home state -- indeed, his home county.
"I think we should be in a post-racial environment," said Sen. Mel
Martinez, R-Fla., a supporter of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., "I think

Martinez made his comments to ABC News' David Puente on Thursday in an interview to run on Puente's show "Exclusiva," which covers Hispanic news from around the world and airs on the network's digital channel, ABC News Now.
