This is about the "democratic party" Jack, not the congress. And Jefferson won the primary, not the general election.
(correction; it was a runoff election and that puts him in office)
My bet is the dems would rather keep a scumbag who'll add to their power rather than stand by their supposed "principles" and give him the boot.
