What's in the orange juice down there?

According to a story in the NY Times this morning, the GOP actually has a pretty good chance of keeping Mark Foley's seat in Congress. This despite the fact that the name of the GOP candidate, Joe Negron, isn't even on the ballot; Mark "measure it" Foley's is.

The election, which pollsters now list as a "tossup," features a candidate who is "a self-described fundamentalist Christian who opposes same-sex marriage and tighter gun control." That's not Negron, that's the Democratic candidate, Tim Mahoney.

Apparently there are a lot of people in FL-16 who wouldn't cotton to havin' that kind of "Librul" represent them in Congress. (Maybe they're troubled by Mahoney's liberal views on evolution and miscegenation.)

Lucky for them that Mr. Negron was available, having earlier in the year dropped out of the running for Attorney General, due to a lack of name recognition.

Just a postscript - the Dem, Tim Mahoney, won. But "Mark Foley" still garnered 48% of the vote.
