In today's New York Times GOP incumbent Deborah Pryce admits that her friendship with Mark Foley has done her bid for reelection serious damage:

[Pryce] said in an interview on a tense day of campaigning here, her own internal polls have measured a steady drop in support under the weight of attacks by Mary Jo Kilroy, her Democratic opponent.

Ms. Kilroy has emphasized Ms. Pryce’s connections to Mr. Foley, who was on a list of five people Ms. Pryce said she considered Washington friends in the Columbus Monthly interview.

“I’m totally convinced,” Ms. Pryce said, her voice faint, as she described why her support had declined. “All our polling showed we were going in the right direction until this happened. It fell precipitously.”

Hastert, Reynolds, now Pryce? How many members of the House leadership will go?
