The 'Super Tuesday' primaries on September 12th were the last great battle for who would be the Democratic Party’s nominees to face the Republican incumbents in the November Mid-term Election. We now have 56 vets who are the official nominees

The following is a summary of the FDs who have survived the primary season and are advancing on their GOP incumbent opponents. Some of these were in districts long since ceded to the Republican (but no longer!), and others won their primary battles. The following information is from our website Fighting-Dems.com. You can donate to your favorite vets here.

56 Fighting Dem Vets running in 26 states. The state with the most FDs is Texas with 7 nominees. Florida and Illinois have 5 each and Pennsylvania have 4 each.

It is needless to say that there are many superb non-vet Fighting-Dems. A selection of some of the finest, like Carol Shea-Porter in New Hampshire, will soon be added to the site. If you want to indicate your favorite or favorites in your comments, they will be considered as soon as it is figured out how to determine a finite list that does not give the whole long list of candidates running across the land. That is just beyond the capacity of the webmaster. It is a site devoted to vets, but it picks at the heartstrings to leave off so many deserving non-vets who are going to help us take back Congress.

The Fighting-Dems.com site is being updated as the editor just returned from the mountains of central Taiwan to the university where he has broad band and not dialup. So he begs your patience.

You can donate to your favorite vets here.

1. We are expanding our scope to include non-vet fighting dems, so...

make your nominations for great candidates. We can't do them all, but a select group to add to our vets is okay.
