People in that district will become very aware of what has happened and will be perfectly comfortable voting for his replacement. Those who vote straight GOP will not hurt us because votes for him in the GOP slot will go to his replacement in accordance with the law quoted above in the thread.
This seat CAN REMAIN SAFE if the GOP moves NOW to replace him. People who know what is going on will vote the replacement. People who do not know what is going on and would vote straight GOP will have their votes count for the replacement.
This seat can remain safe if we work hard.
"This seat can remain safe if we work hard."
I would offer to help, but I am very far away from Florida.
Yes, I agree. I don't get why everyone thinks it automatically goes to a democrat. A good and decent republican candidate will bring out even more support I think.
If he was e-mailing a young boy with this kinky crap I am disgusted. From what I've heard and read this guy deserves what he gets.
Hastert has made it clear he is glad he's gone, whatever the heck he was up to.
Sicko has disgraced his name, his family, and his party.
If it's all a set-up, I apologize in advance, but I kinda doubt it!!
It would seem that the GOP would go for name recognition to replace Foley. Will McBride, a conservative who ran in the primaries against Katherine Harris and is now supporting her, would be a great replacement IMO. He has the money and good backing to run and the experience of being a congressman would be a great help for his future in politics.
