Jeb phoned me, and said he is moving to Jupiter Island to run for this seat. Foley's name will remain on the ballot. If Foley "wins," then Jeb will be sworn in next January. See how easy that was?

LOL, now that would be great if it could be that easy
What is your view on where this seat sits in terms of vulnerability now?
Poor Kid....He sounded so excited about being in Washington! This is despicable folks.
If Mark Foley's name remains on the ballot then I think it's Lean to Likely Dem. I don't think 50%+1 (including the vast majority of conservatives) will vote for the name of a pedophile, even if it's a euphemism for 'special election'. If Mark Foley's name gets replaced I think it's probably weak Lean GOP, unless the Pubbie is very well-funded, in which case it should be strong Lean GOP.
Ah ... watch for a priest to be implicated before all is said and done.
YIKES.
Thanks for the ping, I think. I was hoping this was just a smear. So is that a seat lost for sure or was he up for reelection this year?

SOMEBODY PUT FOLEY ON THE SUICIDE WATCH.....He must be HUMLIATED beyond belief. I can't beleive he was so stupid.....but then...he's a man. :)
Never mind. I see the answer in the headline. Too much in a rush getting ready for out of town company. And now I am totally disgusted. Freak'n perverts are everywhere.
It wouldn't be a euphemism for special election, there could be a separate special election simultaneous with the general election. The Special Election would have the real candidate's name on it. You would then coordinate the campaign message for the candidate to say that, oh by the way, Mark Foley on the other ballot is really me here on the Special Election.
But still two separate elections at the same time.

Per Florida law, foley's name will stay on the ballot, but that doesn't stop the GOP from getting another candidate and also putting it out to the GOTV effort can rectify it, despite your doom and gloom.
LOL. Hey, we're not all that way!
Hugh Hewitt is talking about this .. says he's seen the emails .. that they are very disgusting and says he's glad Foley is gone
"One article says the newspaper interviewed the kid last Nov. but decided not to run the story til now......seems Foley would have heard rumors or something if this kid and his handlers were out shopping the story."
Can you find the link? Now this kid was not the same kid that he sent sexually explicit PM's to....correct? How long did the house ethics committee know about this? Something smells here. If this was something the dems held on to until now..they put other children potentially in danger for political purposes and the American people would find that despicable.
That is so sad. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders too.
Foley is slime. That said, why would anyone hold back the story if it were an obvious case of child sexual abuse? Were they not giving this pervert the chance to contact other children, thereby putting them in danger?
I am NOT deflecting blame. If true, Foley is to blame and be punished appropriately. But the people (dems, media???) that kept this under wraps for any amount of time due to best political timing should be locked up for conspiracy, aiding and abetting or something to that effect.
