And doesn't this just demolish the argument that progressives have to hold their nose and vote for conservaDems because the electorate is just too darn conservative?

Empahsis mine.

Goforth is a general contractor who served in the House for four terms and was a Democratic majority whip. Patsy Keever defeated Goforth in last May's primary and now holds his former seat.

Why, yes. Yes it does.
