ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Florida Republicans on Monday chose a nominee to replace disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley in the November 7 House of Representatives election, but it is too late to change the ballot so the newcomer can only win by persuading voters to cast ballots for the man accused of sending lewd messages to teenage boys.
"It's a big challenge," said the substitute candidate, state lawmaker Joe Negron. "A vote for Mark Foley is not a vote to re-elect former Representative Mark Foley. Mark Foley's name is a place-holder. I'm asking voters to vote Republican."
Oh, man, that's going to be a tough educational campaign...
