Is Loretta Sanchez still a Blue Dog?

I don't know why she was ever in it.

She used to have a decently competitive seat. Joined it mainly for the label, never voted their way.

Of the remaining members:
-Colin Peterson and Sanford Bishop are decent bets for retirement.
-Jim Cooper, David Scott, Kurt Schrader, and Mike Thompson could also retire this cycle.
-Cheri Bustos and Kyrsten Sinema are members pretty much only for the label, and I expect both might be more liberal now that they have both survived two races with convincing numbers.


That pretty much just leaves Dan Lipinski and Henry Cuellar, and even if Gwen Graham and Bruce Ashford join, that hardly forms a caucus.

Peterson has reportedly told some reporters that he plans on running until 2020, purely to spite Republicans.
