I am watching the (perhaps, if polls are accurate) final demise of one of the most infamous of the Utah Blue Dog Democrats; Jim Mattheson. I am not in his district now but was a few years back. He is currently running against a tea partier; Mia Love, the Republican mayor of a Salt Lake bedroom community in Utah County. They are both equally despicable politically in my view but turncoat Jim takes the cake. He is running ads day and night about how many major Obabma initiatives he has voted against; Health Care, budget resolutions, stimulus...you name it old Blue Dog Jim has voted against it! He and Ben Nelson would be perfect bed mates. My angst is not so much in the loss of Matheson but my disappointment that it is numericaly a D loss in the House. My view those is that the Blue Dogs must go...the purge of 2010 has to be completed at some point to make way for truly progressively, forward thinking and voting Democrats. I'm sure there are other Kossacks out there in districts where a Blue Dog is still hanging on and perhaps you understand my "angst" at watching a D "loss" but a needed ouster of one more Blue Dog.
