TITUSVILLE - Republican Congressman Tom Feeney wants voters in his district to know about his work on space issues. Democrats want them to know about his golfing with a criminal lobbyist.

In the first serious challenge since carving out his own district six years ago, Feeney thinks he will win re-election based on issues; Democrats are reminding voters he is linked to a Washington corruption scandal.

Democrats are sending out almost daily reminders that Feeney went to Scotland with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff on the same 2003 golf junket that led to former Ohio Rep. Bob Ney's prison sentence on corruption charges.

Feeney dismisses the attacks. He says he has the experience and knowledge needed to protect the space industry that is so vital to the district stretching from Orlando's sprawling eastern suburbs to the Kennedy Space Center.

1. 'Welcome to Florida,

home of sun, sand, a delusional governor and a heartless Legislature.
We regress in this state on a daily basis. Florida has been sold to corporations and the religious right.
Thank you for the post. Peace
