Tom Perriello, Virginia 5th District. And he's in a pretty conservative district. And he's endorsed by the NRA and VFW. He makes no apologies for his health care reform 'aye' vote nor does he run from it.

An increasing number are. Some examples, Harry Reid, Dina Titus, Earl Pomeroy and Scott Murphy to name a few. Several are realizing the public opinion polls were wrong on how unfavorable the new Law is. They will continue to be a growing number after this election. It will be a large part of the Democratic campaigns in 2012. It's not surprising you wouldn't have seen any on FOS "news".

I can hardly find a candidate that will admit s/he's running as a democrat let alone one that is running on having passed that failure of a bill aka Obamacare. Yeah, it's a BIG F'in DEAL.

more and more democrats are starting to run on the fact that they helped pass the health care reform law. will it help them? it will some, others it will hurt. the ones it will help are the ones that are in solidly liberal democrat districts, or can explain exactly why they voted for the law. still others are using it to demonize their opponent by trying to make the claim that the republican doesnt care about them.

Does Obama count? He's still in the campaign mode.

Quite a few are. As far as those in competitive districts, Tim Bishop.

I mean this is truly beyond belief. How in the world can you claim such a thing when ALL the polls, in virtually every district that is in play and nationally tell you that obamacare is one of the main factors of what is driving the voters

Oberstar in MN - and he's in big trouble.
