Half of all conservative Blue Dog Democrats lost last night

So much for them being the saviors of the party.  Interesting that the Blue Dogs helped cripple Health Care Reform and climate change legislation, yet they still lost.  So why did the Democratic leadership and the President listen to these people?

As we've always said, even if you try to appease the Republicans by voting their way, by cutting back your proposals and making them more conservative, they'll still call you a dirty f'g hippy by the time the next election rolls around.
