The Wall Street Journal explains the rapid implosion of the few moderates remaining in the Democratic Party caucus. Someone better call the Air and Space Museum to keep space for at least one next to the Space Shuttle. The centrist Democrats known as “Blue Dogs” sometimes say they’ve been “choked blue” by the liberals who dominate their party. But now it is Republicans and redistricting that are threatening to cripple this once-influential group of House members. Some estimate the number of remaining Blue Dogs or conservative Democrats will fall below 10 after the November election runs its course. Here a few other headlines and stories on the issue. “Blue Dog Dems Bark May Soon Be Silenced” – Newsmax – “carnage”
“Blue Dog Democrats face extinction in next election” – Politico – “poised to get pummeled”
