Basically, this posting gives you the chance to state whether you think that if the new House is closely divided, if there might be Blue Dog defectors away from Pelosi, perhaps even some party switchers.  Have fun.

With the scenario of a closely divided House, but still with 218 or more Democrats, who are some Blue Dogs or others who might defect (if reelected)?

Perhaps this question has more relevancy now that several Blue Dogs have announced that they will not vote for Pelosi for Speaker.  For instance, Jim Marshall, GA-8, plans to vote "Present" and hopes that a centrist Democrat will emerge, assuming the Democrats maintain a majority.  But, he says he will not vote for a Republican.

Of course, he probably will not be sitting in Congress come January.
