Florida Democrats may think that the Foley Scandal has given them one more opportunity to gain a seat in Congress but the Democratic candidate there may be something of a Trojan Horse.

The October 6, 2006 Wall Street Journal described candidate Time Mahoney as a moderate liberal, a gun owner who sees Ronald Reagan as a 'political hero'. He says he is a conservative Christian. Positions actually to the right of some Republicans. Most curious though is his campaign manager Charles Halloran. The Village Voice wrote about Halloran in 2003 saying that he worked on New York Democrat Rev. Al Sharpton's campaign and did so at the bidding of Roger Stone, a Republican activist also described as a Republican trickster. Halloran reportedly has worked on other campaigns for Stone and uses Stone's Central Park address when in New York. Then there is the employer of Mr. Halloran's wife. According to an article in the February 2004 L.A. Weekly.com she has worked for the Carlyle Group, a military-industrial-complex corporation whose alumni include George H.W. Bush, Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan and a slew of others very much involved with the Bush administration agenda in the middle east.

Mr. Mahoney's `attributes' as reported in the Wall Street Journal and the credentials and relationships of his campaign manager urges the question of who is really behind the Mahoney campaign and consequently how will he vote if elected?
