Fighting Dems, 2006

From dKosopedia

Fighting Dems is a phrase (short for "Fighting Democrats") that can have two similar meanings:

A) Non incumbent military veterans who ran for Congress in 2006 as Democrats.
B) Members of Veterans for a Secure America (all of which are also described by criteria A).

All of these candidates were challengers, and as usual, the incumbents won most of these elections. However, six Fighting Dems and two non Veteran parents of servicemen in Iraq won their races, and seven of those eight seats taken by Fighting Dems were previously held by Republicans. A number of fighting Dem's also came very close to being elected.

Further more the Fighting Dems forced Republicans to donate time, money etc. in districts and statesd that in previous years they had not. This allowed non Veteran Democrats in other Districts and states to win.

Everyone listed under U.S. Senate or U.S. House won their primaries, unless noted otherwise.
