Vulnerable Democrats who are doing good things, including opposing the capitulation bill, and much else. To be on this list you have to
1) Not be one of the 86 who gave Bush a blank check;
2) Have a liberal voting record and either
3) Have won with 55% or less in 2006 or
4) Come from a district Bush won.

These Progressive Democrats deserve our unwavering support in helping them continue our cause, and revising current policy.

50.02% over Rob Simmons 49.98%. Freshman. 8/8. Doesn't get much closer. Kerry took this one with 54%, maybe it will become safe Democratic seat?

Darlene Hooley

OR-05 (Map)

54% over Mike Ericson. Hooley was first elected in 1996. She's not exactly a liberal, but not really a blue dog (NatJnl 71, ProgPunch 81), and she always gets serious opposition (she hasn't ever gotten over 60%) in this swing district that went narrowly to Bush over Kerry (50-49) and Gore (48-47)

50.3% over Mike Fitzpatrick. Yet another freshman. Also 8/8. Fitzpatrick was elected in 2004. Prior to that, this district was fairly Republican, but it's changing. Kerry and Gore both won narrowly (each with 51%).

Peter Welch

VT-01 (Map)

53% over Martha Rainville. Welch replaces Bernie Sanders, who went to the Senate. He's also 8/8 on the key issues. Sanders usually won pretty easily, and I'm not sure why Welch did not do so.
