Trouble for moderate to conservative Democrats in Congress. From The New York Times: "The 'super PAC' supporting Blue Dog candidates has a problem that on the surface would seem enviable: tons of cash on hand! But the reason is one no one would wish for a group — it does not have enough viable candidates to support. With the decimation in the ranks of centrist House Democrats in recent years, the Blue Dog Coalition, the Blue Dog political action committee, has turned to dishing out cash to candidates via another PAC that may not quite meet its mission and even to a nonprofit dedicated to centrist legislative solutions."
The article continues about the Blue Dog Democrats: "In August, the PAC, which began the month with $1.7 million in its coffers, gave $700,000 to the House Majority PAC, a super PAC that is laboring to win the 25 seats needed for Democrats to take back the House, and $700,000 more to Center Forward, a social welfare organization. The House Majority PAC supports a variety of candidates, including those decidedly left of center."
