Posted on November 29 2010 by Congress Watcher

Restore America’s Voice Ineffective Online Ad Campaign For John Boozman

Posted on October 27 2010 by Congress Watcher

The retirement of so many Blue Dogs in this election cycle suggests that their opportunistic political strategy of voting like Republicans has not been sustainable.

Marion Berry Challenged On The Left

Posted on December 21 2009 by Congress Watcher

Congressional candidate Ken Nadler may not win the election in 2010, but he could be the deciding force that knocks Blue Dog Marion Berry out of office, if he can peel away enough progressive votes in protest of Berry’s many efforts to defeat Democratic legislation by cooperating with congressional Republicans.
