POLITICAL PULSE
\nHobnob votes could provide some hints about general election<\/b><\/p>\n

Straw votes taken at political hobnobs are often wildly off the mark. But they’re still fun.<\/p>\n

Here are some results from last week’s hobnob sponsored by the DeLand Area Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

Bill Nelson whipped up on Katherine Harris in the U.S. Senate race.<\/p>\n

Congressional incumbents John Mica and Tom Feeney won, though Feeney’s race was much closer.<\/b><\/div>\n

Also, as it’s been reported that the House GOP leadership was informed about Rep. Mark Foley’s predatory behavior with minors in the Congressional page program months ago and apparently took no action, it’s fair to ask what Feeney, as both a Deputy Whip in the House and a fellow member of the Florida caucus, knew about Foley’s behavior and when he knew it.<\/p>\n

Feeney’s campaign, by the way, has received money from Foley in the past, according to this report from MyDD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like his colleague Foley, Feeney has enjoyed trumpeting his own work in the House to create legislation to protect children from predatory behavior. Like Foley, (and those Feeney hangs with from DeLay to Abramoff to Ney to Cunningham to Jeb and George W.), he’s never been big on transparency or honesty either. So we expect he’ll do whatever he can to dance, dodge and otherwise obfuscate on this matter as usual, unless someone holds his feet to the fire.<\/p>\n

We’d love to be proven wrong, but we’re not holding our breath.<\/p>\n

Oh…and this from The Hill<\/i> last week<\/a>, in response to Feeney’s “crazy” campaign smear sites:<\/p>\n

And the accusations of mental illness? A desperate measure, Curtis says. “If I win and get investigations going, he’ll be in jail,” he said. “He’s acting frantic because he is frantic.”<\/div>\n
