PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Gov. Jeb Bush had important advice Monday for state Rep. Joe Negron, who is facing the difficult task of attempting to keep disgraced Congressman Mark Foley's seat in Republican hands.

"Wave, Joe," Bush uttered as he and Negron stepped into a crowded room that roared when they saw the governor, leaving Negron standing a short distance behind him without too much notice.

Few people in Charlotte County had heard of Negron before Foley resigned over lurid messages he sent to teenage pages, but Republican leaders are pushing hard to educate voters about him and let them know that checking Foley's name on the ballot is really a vote for Negron.

"If Joe Negron is not elected, a Democrat you don't know will be, and he'll be part of a majority, possibly, that has Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as it's speaker" Bush said to boos. "This is a huge race."
