Who were the 6 Democrats who voted it down?

I assume this is the vote (it's 184-233): http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2013/roll074.xml

The Democrats need to kick them off the ballot for 2014 and run real Democrats.

SERIOUSLY. The minimum wage is a Democratic litmus test, or at least should be considered one. If you're a Democrat and you vote against raising it, you should just switch parties right now. You aren't a Democrat if you're against raising the minimum wage, period.

As much as I disagree with how they voted, think about it.  Do we really want John Barrow's and Jim Matheson's seats to be open in a non-presidential election year?

I'm not saying we should primary these two in particular... but do we really have much to lose? It's not like we can win the House with such vicious GOP gerrymanders everywhere.

Someone answer SPC's question: How high would a minimum wage have to be before voting against it doesn't make you a DINO?

"Higher than it was at its peak when adjusted for inflation" might be a good line to draw.
