In the general, yes. But against a strong primary challenger? No.

It's not really a party thing. Corrupt sleazebags of all types usually get reelected.

It's what you get when people believe in the "lesser of two evils" nonsense.

What an incredibly hackish statement.

Because as we all know, Scott DesJarlais, Mark Sanford, Frank Guinta, and Michael Grimm were all defeated in the primary or general due to offended Republicans who care about good government and unethical behavior turning on them. On the other hand, Chaka Fattah, John Tierney, Alan Mollohan, and Bill Jefferson were re-elected by Democratic partisan hacks who only care about the letter after their name. Roll Eyes

Yes, luckily Philly is a lot smarter than the freaks in Staten Island and other places. Wink

With the latter in Bill Jefferson being defeated in a D+25 district by black Democrats who elected a Vietnamese guy.
