Well what's right is right. Can teh GOP get a replacement on the ticket? When are Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy resigning? Teddy is a leaving the scene of an accident murderer.
....lol....don't turn a blind eye to this by ridiculing Dems.....this is a black eye pure and simple for Foley..and the Repubs losing a seat most likely cause he is a flaming queen child lover........good lord.....
Yes he can be replaced on the ballot.
It's a good thing he didn't run for and win the Republican nomination for the senate seat held by Bill Nelson this year. He had expressed an interest last year in running for that seat.
If I am reading the statute correct, it looks like the GOP can replace him on the upcoming ballot

4)(a) In the event that death, resignation, withdrawal, removal, or any other cause or event should cause a party to have a vacancy in nomination which leaves no candidate for an office from such party, the Department of State shall notify the chair of the appropriate state, district, or county political party executive committee of such party; and, within 5 days, the chair shall call a meeting of his or her executive committee to consider designation of a nominee to fill the vacancy. The name of any person so designated shall be submitted to the Department of State within 7 days after notice to the chair in order that the person designated may have his or her name on the ballot of the ensuing general election. If the name of the new nominee is submitted after the certification of results of the preceding primary election, however, the ballots shall not be changed and the former party nominee's name will appear on the ballot. Any ballots cast for the former party nominee will be counted for the person designated by the political party to replace the former party nominee. If there is no opposition to the party nominee, the person designated by the political party to replace the former party nominee will be elected to office at the general election. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "district political party executive committee" means the members of the state executive committee of a political party from those counties comprising the area involving a district office
Somebody on another thread suggested Jeb Bush could run for this seat.
I like that idea.
