Or at least he is running around saying that he is. But he will have to run with Foley's name on the ballot.

10. I though no one could get on the ballot

that is what the media is reporting anyway.

[liberaliraqvet26]

11. His name wont get on the ballot...

the name will read Mark Foley but the votes will go to whatever sacrificial lamb the R's pick.

[MrCoffee]

13. This guy stepped out of the way in the FL AG race...he's being rewarded

and Foley's "Democratic" challenger was a puke last year.

something's extremly fishy here.

14. Negron backed intervention in Terri Schiavo case

The frontrunner right now to be the GOP's candidate for the seat of Rep. Mark Foley -- who resigned yesterday amid revelations of his sexually-charged emails to House pages -- is Florida State Rep. Joe Negron, a 45-year-old lawyer and aggressive fundraiser. Florida GOPers are telling the St. Petersburg Times that Negron is a strong contender, and Negron himself told the paper, "I'm making calls as quickly as I can." Who is Negron? Well, here's one indicator: Negron full-throatedly supported Gov. Jeb Bush's efforts to intervene and prevent doctors from allowing the death of Terry Schiavo, the Florida brain-dead woman who was allowed to die after a national battle over her fate. Negron's take on Schiavo? It was wrong, Negron said in June, "for a judge to say you can't put water on the lips of a citizen of Florida."

Negron's conservative position on Schiavo could be a liability for him if he gets the nod from GOP leaders to take on Tim Mahoney, the Dem nominee who'd been running a credible campaign for Foley's seat.
