Are any blue dogs up for reelection?

[Kablooie]

They've polluted the whole Democratic party so much that it's likely that Republicans will make big gains in the next election. The health bill has become a damaging, pitiful mess because of them and as a result many respectable Democrats will likely lose to Republicans.

Are there any blue dogs up for election that may lose their seats to Republicans because of their sucking up to corporate demands? Or are they all immune and will keep their positions in spite of following a Republican agenda?

2. Every Blue Dog is always vulnerable. By definition, they are Democrats where that ain't popular.

3. Oh yes, right here in CA...

Jane Harman.

She needs to go. NOW.

I'm voting for Marcy Winograd.

I don't think any Republican will win here...

Why should they? We've got Jane.

5. Most of them are Dems in republican districts so they're all on thin ice

They had to talk and vote like repubs so they could get elected or re-elected. I'm not sure that any of them would be much of a loss.

They won't lose to republicans because they sucked up to corporate demands. But they might lose if they were perceived as not sucking up enough.

runs for reelection every two years ... or retires

8. Technically speaking, blue dogs are coversative Dems that are in the House.

So they're all up for reelection. :hi:

Although, from the Senate, it looks like Lincoln (D-AR) is considerably vulnerable.
