Mel Martinez
Obama Did Not Play the Race Card

“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 Sen. [Barack] Obama has done an admirable job of that. I don’t think he has race-baited. I think he has been very good about that.”

McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said, “Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. It’s divisive, negative, shameful and wrong.”

But Martinez, born in Cuba, told Puente that he thought Davis was wrong.

“I would not agree with” Davis’s statement, Martinez said.
