Pissed off about health care - here are some progressives already running in 2010

Jennifer Brunner, is Secretary of State in Ohio, and much more progressive then the establishment backed Lee Fisher, in the race for Ohio's senate seat.

Rhode Island State Representative Betsy Dennigan, who is progressive and pro-choice, is running in a primary against current Rep. James Langevin, who voted for the Stupak amendment.

Andrew Romanoff is the former Colorado House Majority Leader, who has bucked the establishment and even the President to run a primary against Michael Bennet, who voted against the Cram-down legislation, and until very recently was not generally supportive of the public option.

Doug Tudor is a progressive Democrat running in the primary against self-proclaimed "blue-dog" Lori Edwards in Florida's 12 Congressional District.

Bloomington Resident D'Ippolito is running against Evan Bayh.

Joe Sestak running against Republican turned Democrat Arlen Spector.

Also keep an eye on Lt. Gov. of Arkansas Bill Halter, who many believe could run against Sen. Lincoln.

Dr. Ami Bera, going after reTHUG Dan Lungren's seat in California's 3rd district:

Dem's failed in their last attempt to unseat Lungren, but the 3rd voted strongly for Obama and there's a much better chance for 2010.

10. I also neglected Regina Thomas
