Outraged Democrats plan to use the behavior of Mark Foley  as a campaign club to beat the bushes for Republican voters.

Maybe it's working.  Republican Tom Reynolds is in charge of protecting House seats in the upcoming election.  But he finds himself so far behind in the polls that he had to resort to "human shields" according to Britain's Times Online:

"Mr Reynolds suffered widespread ridicule for holding a press conference
last week where he surrounded himself with young children of
supporters, prompting reporters to complain that in such circumstances
they were unable to ask him about the sexually charged computer
messages. The Democrats muttered about Mr Reynolds using “kids as human
shields”.

On the other hand, too much focus on Foley may not be the best way for the party of gay marriage to attract angry republicans.  Here's Earl Ofari Hutchinson referring to an MSNBC poll in the Huffington Post:

"The poll certainly found voters more ready than ever to punish GOP
candidates for the appalling corruption, arrogance and ineptitude of
the Republican leadership. But the Dems make a colossal mistake if they
think that Foley and the GOP's follies alone will put them over the top."
