Although Feeney admitted the trip to [[Scotland]] was a "rookie mistake"<ref>http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/AP/story/755441.html</ref>, later paid for the trip himself, and submitted a campaign ad in the 2008 elections admitting to his past, his tactic failed. Kosmas won by a large margin - 57 percent to 41 percent - the largest margin of defeat for a Republican incumbent in 2008.
