There are two freshmen Democrats that I (really, really, really) want to see defeated in their primaries next year. "Cave man" Dan Lipinski (a reactionary social conservative who only has his job because of an egregious act of nepotism) is an utter embarrassment given many of the good things the Democratic Party stands for. In 2004 Henry Cuellar knocked out former Congressman Ciro Rodriguez in a very fishy primary election. He's got two strong candidates running against him - Rodriguez and Richard Raymond - and they are both winning the support of a variety of current and former members of the US House. Here's hoping Democratic challengers send these men packing next year.

And you're bitching about two?

But these two are long-reviled by me, and since there were recent stories about them actually being challenged (something that's all too rare an event when it comes to those who deserve it) it seemed a good time to note that they could conceivably be taken out. I wish their opponents the best of luck.
