Another Blue Dog Democrat in Trouble at the Polls

Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio) ran as a “raging moderate” in 2008. However, Politico describes Rep. Driehaus as "a reliable backer of party leadership." This alleged blue dog has been revealed to be a Nancy Pelosi lap dog. Voters are not pleased. Driehaus is down 17 point in the latest survey to the same man he defeated in 2008.

Politico reported:

Another day, another SurveyUSA poll showing a Democratic member of the House down 17 points to his Republican challenger.

Yesterday, it was Rep. Vic Snyder (D-Ark.), who announced his retirement on the same day the alarming poll was released. This time, the latest SurveyUSA poll shows Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio), a freshman Democrat who represents the Cincinnati area, losing to former Republican congressman Steve Chabot, 56 to 39 percent.
