Blue Dog Dems consider involvement in Senate races

Arkansas Congressman Mike Ross, leader of the Blue Dog Democrats, made the front page of The Hill today, a widely read publication on Capitol Hill. Frustrated that their fight to end deficit spending has been stonewalled in the U.S. Senate, Ross says the group may endorse candidates running for the upper chamber.

“We’re never going to restore fiscal discipline to our government until we get more Blue Dogs elected to Republican Senate seats,” Ross said. Thanks largely to Ross, the organization is flush and has more money that it can spend helping its own members. Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner could be the recipient of Blue Dog support.
