I didn't talk about Salazar because she didn't run against an IDC member and her election is more controversial.

(53,794 posts)5. Shouldn't it say IDC incumbents lost?
It's depressing to read that 7 Dem incumbents lost.
Renew Deal
(81,866 posts)6. 1 of them was not in the IDC
They lost to Democrats in the primary 7 Democrats also won.

My guess is they will be less of assholes now, or simply go republican entirely and out themselves completely.
