Allen Boyd (Bluedog FL) will face primary challenge

[liskddksil]

State Senate Democratic Leader Al Lawson will challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd in 2010, sources close to Lawson confirmed this morning.

Boyd, elected to Congress twelve years ago, is a leader of the “Blue Dog Coalition,” a group of conservative Democrats. The Panhandle farmer also served in the state House.

Hopefully the first of many to announce runs against these guys who are backstabbing the Democrats at every chance.

1. That's my district. I'm thrilled to hear this.

2. Al Lawson's not exactly a bleeding heart liberal himself.

I gotta say, I was surprised Boyd turned down a run at the Senate. He's precisely the kind of Dem that wins statewide here (Just look at Bill Nelson)
