1. Unfortunately, if you remove the party label and ask a different question:

what percent of conservatives lost their seats vs. what percent of liberals lost their seats -- you wouldn't be so happy with the answer. Overall, Congress moved to the right.

[TheKentuckian]

2. I'd just advise them the black President can still send his monkey ass to the "FEMA Camps"

for the "gay indoctrination" and "redistribute his wealth" to Mexicans.

I think they deserve pure batshit in response to their shitty nonsense.

7. Hilarious -- I will use that. (n/t)

3. Might it be that Progressive Dems were in relatively safe progressive districts

and Conservative Dems were in conservative districts so they were more easily beaten by a Republican?

This is a good example of making statistics say what you want them to say.

[BzaDem]

4. Of course, that was because districts with progressives have FAR more Democrats in them than

districts with Blue Dogs. So a Progressive who got 70% in 2008 but 55% in 2010 wins, but a blue dog who got 55% in 2008/40% in 2010 loses. Even though both lost the same amount relative to previous elections.

10. +1

there are some outliers, kucinich is in an area that is usually just barely on the left but do we really see someone like kucinich winning a seat in oklahoma any time soon? sanders is excellent and the people in vermont vote for him but would he stand a chance in hell to be a senator from texas?

5. the conservative Dems were mostly from conservative areas

the reason we won congress was because we won in many conservative areas and the Dems running were more conservative than Dems in more Blue areas .

6. If That's The Case, Then Good Riddance

Better a Repug true-believer than a Blue Dog scumball....

[klook]

8. Well,

except that those Blue Dog scumballs provided the numbers that made Nancy Pelosi Speaker and John Conyers chairman of Judiciary.

I don't like 'em either, but they were under the Big Tent with us.

[Gaedel]

9. If you like having a minority in the House. nt

11. Yeah,got that ...

bye,bye,Bluedogs don't let the door knob hit ya...
