2. Any stats on how each group voted on certain things?
Might be interesting to see.

Might also be interesting to watch how they campaign.

Good list, thanks for the data!

4. The blue dog coalition
Is the caucus in the U.S House for Conservative Democrats, not DLCers but just plain Democrats who have conservative views.

Most of the blue doggers repersentive Southern Districts.
