@ Politico: the fact that the remaining Blue Dogs survived the 2010 elections suggests “that they’re a pretty capable group of candidates,” said Alan Abramowitz, a political science professor at Emory University. “Of course, with redistricting going on, it’s hard to know what’s going to happen to their districts.”

With redistricting not going well for Democrats in the South, this is a overly optimistic piece on the Blue Dog Caucus and their chances at survival in 2012.  New lines and another tough cycle, this time with a unpopular President at the top of the ticket, may make the money raised irrelevant.
