NY-26: Tom Reynolds Convinced Foley To Turn Down Two Plush Jobs
It looks as if NRCC chief Tom Reynolds may have gone much farther than is previously known to persuade Mark Foley to run for reelection this year. Robert Novak -- who on Friday reported that Reynolds persuaded Foley to run for reelection despite his rumored sexual problems -- has now expanded on that story. Novak has just reported that Reynolds persuaded Foley to run despite the fact that Foley had two plush private sector jobs offered to him this year. Novak says Reynolds persuaded him not to take the gigs. More coming.

Hmmmm - this would appear to directly contradict Carl Forti's (NRCC Spokesperson) statement on C-SPAN on the weekend that Foley was just one of the entire GOP House caucus that was invited to re-run by Reynolds as a matter of routine. If Novak is correct, then it would appear that Foley received some quite special treatment along the way.
