"Delray Beach ain't in the district."
Good find, Torie.
I'm betting that if the GOP can pull a Torricelli here (and Florida has a late primary date), the the new nominee will be state Senator Jeff Atwater.

The GOP party just picks a candidate, and he, Deus ex machina, is the nominee, running under Foley's name. Atwater lives in North Palm Beach, which IS in the district.
I think Atwater is being groomed to run for Clay Shaw's seat in 2008. I doubt he'd want to risk a loss in a tainted election. It would cripple his political career.
