New Dems And Blue Dogs WHINING It Costs Them More To Run For Congress Than It Costs Real Democrats

9. Snow came to mind after I posted

Though she played cat and mouse with her vote far too much, she was pushed out by the new guard of her party because they wanted to play Tea Party. A lot of the time, saying a Blue Dog votes with Dems most of the time leaves the party open to being held hostage to the likes of Lincoln, Landrieu, Lieberman on the important stuff. And Blue Dogs are also most prone to losing their seats which sometimes means the party has to spend enormous resources and neglect other areas. I do think the extremism in the Republican party has pushed more Republicans to the other side, to the detriment of our own party as much as theirs. And strangely enough, they still set the agenda even when they are a minority in Congress and not in the White House. Curious.
