GOP polling firm, but I'm sure it is too far off.

All this seems like a little timely devine intervention.

Maybe the Big Guy isn't ready for an America completely dominated by leftist crazies.

Two years ago, Foley's indiscretions were a sign of the corruption of the entire Republican Party. So why are Mahoney's his alone? Why isn't this a sign of the corruption of the entire Democrat Party?

I find this strange - usually this type of activity brought to the attention of the gullible public voters is a 'resume enhancer' for a RAT.

Since it doesnt mention the party membership of Mahoney ... this must be a Democrat, right?

As for:
“Mahoney had paid a former campaign staffer $121,000 to prevent a sexual harassment lawsuit, also listed 16 percent of the voters as undecided.”

Wait a sec ... this abuse of power is ‘just about sex’ so it doesnt count!

And BTW, why isn’t it front-page news for weeks like the Foley scandal... hmmmm?

How about we collect this and other Democrat scandals and send it out to everyone on our email tree?

I say baloney! This is a resume enhancing experience for Democrats. He may win in a landslide. Look at William “Cold Cash” Jefferson. Voters in LA may send him back to Congress. I’m telling you, this guy Mahoney may get reelected in a landslide!

Sure they did. They've known about these for almost a year, yet have said or done nothing.

So what’s stopping the Dems from pulling a Lautenberg to get another candidate on the ballot wayyyyyyyy past the usual deadline?

Little comfort to Joe Negron, however.

Tim Mahoney(D-FL)is mired in multiple sex scandals,Charlie Rangle (D-NY)is mired in a tax evasion scandal,and William Jefferson(D-LA)is mired in a bribery scandal. Yet two years ago, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA and Speaker of the House)promised America that the Democrats would deliver the most corrupt free House of Representatives ever. So much for another empty political promise

BTW, William Jefferson appears to be on his way to his second re-election since his scandal broke. His supporters are found in large numbers in ACORN.

Why do Democrats make such good politicians? Because they are devoid of any scruples. Ann Coulter referred to them as “Godless.” Barack Obama is their anointed leader.

This is probably an outlier poll, but it’s bound to be within reason. After being embarrassed by Mark Foley, the locals were in no mood to be embarrassed again.

It’s not outside of reason. The Palm Beach Post just rescinded its endorsement of Mahoney and called on him to withdraw from the race. He’s supertoast.

That means that the GOP should pick up at least two seats in the House (this and that of Paul Kanjorski). There’s a little hope out there.
