Digby muses on the problem that a lot of the new Dems getting elected in repug areas like Mississippi-01 are Bush Dogs who may cause problems downline.

quote from NYT but I'm not linking.

While much of the Congressional political focus has been on the declining fortunes and numbers of House Republicans, House Democrats have their own problem - they are winning too many elections.

By prevailing in conservative locales where they ordinarily would not have a chance, Democrats are widening the ideological divide in their own ranks and complicating their ability to find internal consensus.

I wouldn't call Childers a Bush Dog.  I believe he's generally with us on everything but guns and Roe, which is better than being against us on everything.

Those are problems I can live with compared with the alternative.
