The real fun should start when the Dems try to force him to resign so they can keep his seat. Like most Dems, he's in it for himself but to the Democrats, he will just be damaged goods. He was probably also promised all kinds of support from obama, bloomberg, et al too. Watch them throw him to the sharks when his protest fails. He won't know what hit him.
