Negron Preparing For Rematch With Dem Tim Mahoney

Remember Joe Negron? He was the GOP candidate who lost to Dem Tim Mahoney after replacing disgraced GOP Rep. Mark Foley, who resigned after the page scandal forced him to give up his House seat. Now Negron's back: He's getting ready to challenge Mahoney to a rematch in 2008, according to Roll Call. This is not great news for Dems, because Negron lost by a single percentage point to Mahoney — even though Negron's name wasn't even on the ballot; Negron had to run under Foley's name. Next time around, presumably, Negron's name will indeed be on the ballot — so Mahoney will likely need to work as hard as he can to hold the seat.

Maybe this will be the unusual one, but Kos showed a stat saying that out of close to 200 rematches the incumbent won all but 6 times
