Anybody have any feel how the Blue Dogs aka DINOs fared last night?

For what it's worth, I don't think we really lost anything when we lost Bayh's seat.

5. Wow! Thanks for that ! I have to get to work now, but bookmarked for later!

2. a bunch of them lost. and a bunch of non-blue dogs also lost

It was the Democratic brand that took the hit, not any particular wing of the party.

7. Which congressperson was a DINO?

I never can get any names that hold up under scrutiny. And when people say DINO, they better really mean DINO, as in they voted with the Republicans every time. Otherwise they are only engaging in manipulative hyperbole.

9. I would think regularly obstructing or actually opposing Obama's program would

make one a Dino. Why do you think single payer was taken off the table so early?

11. So you can't name one? n/t

12. How about Evan Bayh?

14. He votes 71.5% of the time with his party.

Not a DINO.

15. You can't go by a simple percentage of votes ; you also have to consider the

backroom demands that had to be met before he agreed to vote with the caucus. Blue Dogs did more damage to the Health Care Reform Bill than any Republican!

[LoZoccolo]

16. My point isn't that he's always right or that he's not more conservative.

It's that there really isn't such a thing as a DINO in this congress.

8. We lost one in Az, but that's not because he was a blue dog, it's because the rw were fired up in

this state because of Brewer.:puke: :puke:

[Uzybone]

10. if any democrats deserved to lose, its the blue dogs

[southernyankeebelle]

13. Allot of blue dogs lost. My lost and I really don't care because he was a republican lite.

17. Ours here in Utah won.
