News and Observer on North Carolina’s two blue dogs
NATIONAL–An article in the Raleigh News and Observer touches on North Carolina blue dog congressmen Heath Shuler and Mike McIntyre today, two right-leaning Dems who have made things difficult for President Obama and his health plan.
Shuler represents the southern mountains in Washington.
An excerpt from the piece:
“Some of the commentary coming out of the White House has ratcheted up the pressure on the Blue Dogs in this sense: They’re being told the whole party will be hurt if the Democrats don’t succeed,” said Ferrel Guillory, director of the Program on Public Life at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“There’s a pull for them to be party loyalists,” he said.
