Open Left

you mean open seats? (0.00 / 0)

In general, yes.  For instance, Darcy Burner has a primary challenger who think the district needs a Democrat who is more 'moderate', and we raised a bunch of money for her.

That's not part of the Bush Dog Democrat campaign, though.

Primary candidates (0.00 / 0)

I'm concerned about a primary candidate in my district who has DCCC support, presents himself on blogs as a "progressive", but actually announces conservative policies in the local newspapers & in e-mails to supporters. His camp uses the old "progressives' can't win in this conservative district, and I'm not buying it. 
There will be a least one progressive challenge to this candidate, and I'll be supporting him in this primary.

I'm fed up with the Bush Dogs. I think they greatly undermine our objectives, and although I supported all D's in the last cycle (and worked really hard for them!), I've decided to only support candidates whose values align fairly closely with mine.

Thoughts?
