Blue Dogs may 'still be barking' but their website is still a 'work in progress'
http://www.bluedogdems.com

Blue Dogs, down from 54 members to 26. And, now down to 25 with Jane Harman resiginng from Congress to run the Woodrow Wilson Center.

Blue Dog Mike Ross (D-AR) is on The Daily Rundown. Says they are 'in the middle with the majority of Americans.' Meaningless claptrap.

He also 'can't support raising the debt limit unless it's tied to serious budget cuts.' The question is will they sign on with the House Republicans' budget cuts.

He thinks the Tea Party Republicans in the House may cause trouble for Boehner. No sh*t!

The Democratic Leadership Council, the iconic centrist organization of the Clinton years, is out of money and could close its doors as soon as next week, a person familiar with the plans said Monday.

But Heath Shuler will not go quietly into the night

"I think the Blue Dogs represent 80 percent of America."

He using FUZZY MATH just like Bush did....

Total number of votes for House candidates in 2010:

75,506,260

Total number of votes for Democratic House candidates in 2010:

41,128,504

Total number of votes for winning Blue Dogs:

2,672,003
