“It is because of the Blue Dog Coalition that there is no floor vote before the August break.”

Herseth Sandlin also made it clear that she believes the Blue Dogs have scored a major victory by getting leaders to back away from their goal of having the House vote on a healthcare bill before members return home for the month of August.

“We’ve achieved the victory of not having a vote on the House floor that will give every member a chance to digest what’s in the bill, whether it’s in a markup that occurs in Energy and Commerce or whether it’s as the bill exists right now,” she said. “It is because of the Blue Dog Coalition that there is no floor vote before the August break.”

1. Our goal should be to find some real democrats and target the Blue Dogs in 2012. They are about as

self serving as the Rethugs.

3. Not to worry. In this state, the 'Blue Dogs' were replaced by Republicans.
