Craig, Vitter and Ensign demonstrate that one can stick around for months and years after being caught in ACTUAL sex scandals (ones involving real-world sex or solicitation), despite lying about them ceaselessly.

The differences with Weiner are self evident:
a) the underlying scandal was actually NOTHING (except to the sick imagination of the puritan mind)
b) the corporate media made it into SOMETHING (on an incredible scale compared to the Republican scandals)
c) Weiner is leader of the progressive caucus, who just tried to expose REAL conflicts of interest and possibly criminal service to corporate interests by Clarence Thomas, and he was targeted for termination by the Breitbart circle, and therefore he's fair game for the corporate media.
