I see Foley is pro-"choice" as well. Seems as if Florida GOP could do better than this.

He voted to ban PBA, to ban Federal funding of abortion and to ban human cloning. More here

His district includes northern Palm Beach County and abuts Robert Wexler's district. That a Republican is elected at all, much less with the landslides Foley gets, is an accomplishment. Yes, he does have to finesse certain issues--Medicare and Social Security mostly. Foley is a quasi-libertarian and was, I believe, a member of the GOP House Libertarian caucus.

Personally, if I was Rove, I would get rid of Foley, run Kathleen Harris, yes I know she would probably lose, but the DNC would spend a fortune on making sure they beat her, they would pour money and resources like crazy into that race, and thats money, resources, etc that will not ever be used in any other race, it will leave senate races and house races for rats under funded, since Terry has shown he lets grudges outweigh conventional thinking.

In 2002 Terry poured money essentially down the drain by pouring everything into McBride against Jeb, even though Jeb was never, ever in danger. Some of the guys who are angling for his job (carville) keep hitting that was a big strategic mistake, the fact that Terry never admitted it was a mistake, and said in that scenario, he would have no choice, it makes it better. Granted, you don't get the senate seat from Florida, but how many other seats will you pick up because of that?
