Target Blue dogs

Please target the ones in red first.


House Members by State

Name District Competitive race? Obama-McCainJunior? Comment
Brian BairdWA-03Retiring52-46 NoHe's retiring, making him immune to GOP pressure. He recently said he was totally "undecided."
John BoccieriOH-16 Yes 48-50FreshmanBoccieri has turned out to be a lesser priority for the NRCC than fellow Ohio freshmen Kilroy and Driehaus. He has recently sounded open to supporting the bill.
Bart GordonTN-06Retiring37-62 Sophomore He's retiring, which puts him right at the top of the Democrats' priority list since the GOP can't pressure him with electoral reasons. He is a Blue Dog. A very important detail: He voted for the bill in the Energy & Commerce Committee before opposing it on the floor, which certainly suggests he'd be open to voting for it now.
Larry KissellNC-08Yes53-47freshmanFaces a competitive race, though he represents one of the bluest districts among the 39 who voted 'no' in the fall.
Scott MurphyNY-23Not for now51-48freshmanMurphy looks safer than he did this fallThat leaves us with 18 Democrats whose support for a final bill is plausible, albeit still tough to envision. It will at the least require some very heavy pushing for Pelosi to convince any of these:
Jason AltmirePA-04Yes44-55SophomoreDespite a few hints of openness to supporting a bill, he has sounded very hostile to health-care reform and the abortion issue should seal his "no." He's a Blue Dog.
John AdlerNJ-03Yes52-47FreshmanAdler has done his best to position himself as a centrist over the past few months and he is facing a tricky race. Yet, he is less vulnerable than many others on this list and he represents a district that clearly voted for Obama. He should be right at the top of Pelosi's target list.
John BarrowGA-12No54-45NoAllen BoydFL-02In primary45-54NoAt this point, this Blue Dog has more to worry about in the Dem primary than in the general election. He's a Blue Dog.Rick BoucherVA-09Yes40-59NoBoucher looks far more vulnerable now than he did in the fall, which will complicate Pelosi's outreach.
Ben ChandlerKY-06Probably not43-55NoThe filing deadline has passed in Kentucky, and while the race could heat up Chandler doesn't have to worry about facing a top-tier Republican. Will this encourage him to vote "yes"? He did support cap-and-trade. He's a Blue Dog.
Tim HoldenPA-17Yes48-51NoHe's a Blue Dog, and he is facing his first tough re-election race in some time.
Suzanne KosmasFL-24Yes49-51freshmanShe has emerged as a fairly centrist Democrat, so I'd be somewhat surprised if she switches; but her district is not as red as others on this list.
Frank KratovilMD-01Yes40-58freshmanIf Pelosi convinces him that he will lose anyway, perhaps?Betsy MarkeyCO-04Yes49-50freshmanShe's a Blue Dog. The Democratic leadership let her be the main sponsor of the bill repealing the anti-trust exemption; might she repay them by voting "yes"?
Eric MassaNY-29Probably48-51freshmanHe is fundraising off his initial vote for health-care, but he is one of the most obvious votes for the leadership to target.
Jim MathesonUT-02Probably not39-57NoWould be surprised if he votes "yes," but in recent comments he was less hostile than other Blue Dogs. He's a Blue Dog.
Michael McMahonNY-03Perhaps49-51freshman
Mike McIntyreNC-07No47-52NoThe filing deadline passed in North Carolina, and the GOP failed to recruit a credible challenger despite the district's red lean. Despite McIntyre's conservatism, that alone makes him a target to leadership pressure. He's a Blue Dog.
Glenn NyeVA-02Yes51-49freshmanHe's a Blue Dog, a freshman and he faces a tough race in November - a tough combination for Pelosi. But he also represents one of the few Obama districts on this list, so he is sure to face more pressure than others.
Colin PetersonMN-07Probably not47-50NoCommittee chairman. He's a Blue Dog.
Ike SkeltonMO-04Yes38-61No He's a Blue Dog. The abortion issue could prevent Pelosi from convincing him.
John TannerTN-08Retiring43-56 NoHis retirement is prompting talk he might be more wiling to help his party, though he looks likely to do so than Baird and Gordon. He's a Blue Dog.
