Silver lining in another House Dem surge?

Reports are that Democrats could add as many House seats this fall as in 2006.

Bottom line would be that Blue Dog Democrats would have to decide whether they wanted to be “Blue Dog” or “Democrat” on several issues.

Even if half of 30 new Congressmen this year might fall in the Blue Dog coalition, the other 15 would negate the part of this Congress’s Democratic majority that is owed to Blue Dogs.

Even if we whack those numbers to 20 new seats, and half of them not Blue Dog, the 10 “pristine” new seats would pretty much do the trick.
