In Florida (and D.C.) they are dealing with the fall out from discovering Republican Representative Mark Foley's improper behavior. It appears he is a seriously sick man, the level of his perversion has yet to be gauged. He has resigned and may possibly face criminal charges.
It seems to be coming to light that there were those in leadership who knew of his behavior over a year ago.
The fact that it was not dealt with immediately looks very bad for the Republicans.
The fact that it just happened to come out so close to an election he was almost guaranteed to win looks very bad for the Democrats.
