Yes he can be fired this way. My take is the message it sends to the political parties is you want liberal candidates when you vote for the most liberal choice.

If you vote for Alison Grimes (D) over David Patterson (Libertarian) and Mike Maggard (Write-In), I believe the message received will be you want a more liberal senator.

When running as a liberal republican candidate is the political kiss of death... they'll get the message that liberal republicans can't win.
