The environment wins

A friend of SBW passed this interesting electoral information along from something called Teh Daily Kos.

While looking for something else, I stumbled on last year’s “Dirty Dozen” list by the League of Conservation Voters. And check it out:

Sen. George Allen (R, VA) — lost to Jim Webb

Sen. Conrad Burns (R, MT) — lost to Jon Tester

Sen. Rick Santorum (R, PA) — lost to Bob Casey

Sen. Jim Talent (R, MO) — lost to Claire McCaskill

Rep. Dan Boren (D, OK-02) — still around

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D, TX-28) — ugh, fake “Democrat” still around

Rep. Katherine Harris (R, FL) — got crushed by Bill Nelson

Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R, AZ-05) — lost to Harry Mitchell

Rep. Richard Pombo (R, CA-11) — lost to Jerry McNerney

Rep. Deborah Pryce (R, OH-15) — won by a sliver, is quitting after this term

Rep. Charles Taylor (R, NC-11) — lost to Heath Schuler

Rep. Heather Wilson (R, NM-01) — survived by a sliver, one of only two R’s on this list to do so, and the only one left running again in 2008

Politicos take note.
