There is no credible challenge to any Dem from Utah.
It's all in your mind. It's wishfull thinking...LOL
That was with Obama at the top of the ticket Independs went big for the Dems, they are now going for the Republicans look at NJ and Va. and all the polling. African American turnout was huge in 2008 will be far less in 2010 without Obama on the ticket, again look at NJ and Va.
It ain't all in my mind. I think it is in Politico's mind too. LMAO!
At least the Democrats have enough people in the middle-to-conservative spectrum to have a coalition like the Blue Dogs. Where is the GOP coalition for moderate-to-liberal Republicans? Oh yeah... it is non-existent
Oh well for 2 years anyway. They will be swept away in 2010.
Yes my friend but many of the new congress people who gave the Dems the majority were Blue Dogs, part of the 50 state strategy. Please try to keep up.
Of course the Democratic Party expanded their base substantially.
Did I say otherwise? Go ahead and provide a link the post where I made that claim.... Once again since you will be incapable of doing so again, thanks for failing

Yikes you can't really be that obtuse can you? You say Blue dogs have been around for a decade then you say they expanded their base in 2008. Do you understand the inherent contradiction. I suspect not.
The Blue Dogs elected in the last election cycle are in danger in their districts if the vote with the left. If they don't vote with the left they will be in danger from the left. See the Politico article I posted.
You really should be paying me for this education.
No, he voted for this bill, but his overall voting record is still fairly conservative and Republican. He is in a staunchly Democratic district, his chances at re-election likely aren't that strong regardless, but it would have been political suicide for him to vote against this bill in that district.
Do you not think that some Dems committed suicide by voting with Nasty Nancy? I am sure a number of them did. She did ask them to take a bullett for the Gipper (Barack Hussein) and some of them did so.

I hate pointing out simple facts...
The Democratic Party existed before 2006 when they won control in the House and Senate. They expanded on that in 2008. No contradiction, just a simple fact. Same with the Blue Dog Coalition. They existed BEFORE 2006, but they EXPANDED on it in 2008. How difficult is that to understand?

You make it way too easy! Thanks for failing
Yes it is clear you hate pointing out facts since you haven't stated any I haven't provided for you. The only failure I can see is your failure to contradict any point I have made regarding the problems the Dems find themsleves in. But thanks for playing.
By the way if you expand your base it means you are expanding a group you do not already appeal to. For example, the Dems got a greater percentage of African American votes in 2008 that would not say they expanded their base. If however they got more votes from a group they traditionally do not get votes from, lets say pro life Christians. That would be expanding the base.
My teaching never ends.
