The list, which is attached below, comprises those who: (1) voted for at least 2 of 3 bad bills (Stimulus, Cap-and-Trade, and Obamacare) last year, and (2) represent (we are using that term loosely here) a congressional district where McCain received at least 45% of the vote in 2008. A few others (Bean, Driehaus, Foster, Kildee, and McNerney) made the list even though their district bucked historical trend by only supporting McCain with 43 or 44% of the vote (below our 45% threshold). We included them because they: (1) voted for at least 2 of the 3 bad bills, (2) represent a district that is historically moderate/conservative, and (3) simply “rode the wave” to election in ’08 (current polling data is proving us correct).
