They are moving rapidly.

Office of the Sixteenth Congressional District of Florida
Formerly the Office of Representative Mark Foley http://clerk.house.gov/members/electionInfo/Florida_16th/index.html

I found this interesting too, (from the Guardian)

Though Florida ballots have already been printed with Foley's name and cannot be changed, any votes for Foley will count toward the party's choice.  http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6116193,00.html

So, it looks like you vote for Foley and don't have any idea who is really running. Or am I not understanding this?

From an article in 2003

Noting Rep. Foley's “sharp left turn on gay rights,” Norman, the New Times columnist, writes that the Congressman’s pro-“gay” votes in Congress “were more likely motivated by his personal life, or if you prefer the cynical view, by a strategy to keep gay constituents at bay so they won't force him out of the closet.”

Norman, a former Democrat and now independent, writes: “More than truth, history is also at stake. Foley could be, if he were to come out, the first openly gay senator of any party in United States history.”

That is precisely the fear of some conservatives who don’t want the first “openly gay” senator on Capitol Hill—whether he runs as a homosexual now or is “outed” later—to be a Republican.
