What percentage of these challengers are Blue Dog types? If we have 280 seats, and 80 of them are Blue Dogs, it could spell trouble.

Obama will, among other things, have to put the Blue Dogs in their place and tell them that this won't be like 93-94 when conservative Democrats screwed Clinton's big plans and allowed the 1994 debacle to happen.

Surprisingly few, considering how conservative these seats have been historically (we picked the low-hanging fruit in 2006).  Possible Blue Dogs from the list include:

NY13- Mike McMahon
NY25- Dan Maffei
NJ03- John Adler
MD01- Frank Kratovil
WV02- Anne Barth
PA18- Steve O'Donnell
OH01- Steve Driehaus
OH16- John Boccieri
MI07- Mark Schauer
MI09- Gary Peters
MN03- Ashwin Madia
CO04- Betsy Markey
IN13- Mike Montagano
MN06- Elwyn Tinklenberg
MO09- Judy Baker
MO06- Kay Barnes
NE02- Jim Esch
TX07- Michael Skelly
TX10- Larry Joe Doherty
OK01- Georgianna Oliver
KY02- David Boswell
VA11- Gerry Connelly
NC08- Larry Kissell
AL02- Bobby Bright
VA10- Judy Feder
LA04- Paul Carmouche
SC01- Linda Ketner
AL03- Josh Segall
NC10- Dan Johnson
SC02- Rob Miller
FL13- Christine Jennings
LA01- Jim Harlan
LA04- Don Cravins
AZ01- Ann Kirkpatrick
AZ03- Bob Lord
AKAL- Ethan Berkowitz
CA04- Charlie Brown
NV03- Jill Derby
CA50- Nick Liebham
ID01- Walt Minnick
CA52- Mike Lumpkin

Not all of them will caucus with the Blue Dogs.  A lot more of them will caucus with the New Democrats.  None of them will caucus with the progressives.  These are not progressive districts.
