If he had removed her from office, he would have been another racist Bush denying black people the vote.
The Dems set this up themselves, they will have to clean it up. If they leave her in office, they have budget overruns and screwed up elections. If they remove her from office, the face the wrath of the black community. They tried to shove this off on Bush so they could wash their hands of it, but he didn't take the bait.
Now the local Dems will have to build a case of criminal and/or negligent activities against Oliphant to justify their position against her in the eyes of the black community. It won't be hard and it will be fun to watch them feeding on one of their own.
P.S. Alcee has never seen a black democrat he didn't like. EVERYTHING is racial in his eyes.
