Blue Dawgs
According to Wikipedia, these are the so-called "Blue Dog Democrats", who represent conservative districts. As such, they need to be held accountable if they back the hard-left line of Speaker Pelosi and President-Elect Obama. If they go along with them to keep from loosing choice committee seats and barrels of pork to bring home, remind them that they can only have those things if they're still in Congress. No committee chairmanship or pork for you if you're making your third unsuccessful bit for the job of dog catcher. If they back Pelosi & Obama on their radical agenda, we need to hang that around their necks like an albatross, and back conservative Republicans to retake those seats. In particular, the leadership of the Blue Dogs need to feel the pressure from We, The People. More cost effective to bring over the delegation's Whip and other leadership, if you have the resources to turn a few. Make your dollars and your letters count.
