Mid-Term Elections and the Blue Dog Democrats
Of the 34 Democratic incumbents who voted no to health care reform, sixteen are projected to have lost their seats Tuesday while three are locked in races that are too close to call. Eleven Democratic congressman that voted against party lines when health care reform returned to the House floor on March 21, 2010 have retained their seats.
Of the remaining four, Artur Davis (AL-7) unsuccessfully ran for governor and Charlie Melancon (LA-3) lost his bid for U.S. Senate. But Marion Berry (AR-1), and John Tanner (TN-8) escaped election scrutiny and retired.
Those who lost Tuesday and voted against health care reform include: Congressmen John Adler (NJ-3), Michael Arcuri (NY-24), Rick Boucher (VA-9), Bobby Bright (AL-2), Travis Childers (MS-1), Lincoln Davis (TN-4), Chet Edwards (TX-17), Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (SD-at-large), Frank Kratovil (MD-1), Jim Marshall (GA-8), Michael McMahon (NY-13), Glenn Nye (VA-2), Ike Skelton (MO-4), Zachary Space (OH-18), Gene Taylor (MS-4), and Harry Teague (NM-2).
