    Blue Dogs building sway on the campaign trail (AP)

    In this May 12,2008 file photo, the-Mississippi Democratic Congressional candidate Travis Childers, right, and Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-La., visit the Mississippi State Veterans Home in Oxford, Miss. On a recent Saturday afternoon in small-town northern Mississippi, two little-known conservative Democratic congressmen went door-knocking and restaurant-hopping as if their own careers were on the line. They were campaigning Childers, who went on to win the GOP stronghold in a special election a few days later. 'Hell, I wouldn't do this for myself,' Rep. John Tanner, D-Tenn., who has served in the House for two decades, told Childers. That's only partly true. Tanner and 'Blue Dog' Democrats — conservatives 'choked blue' by their party's liberal base — are building their own operation to propel like-minded candidates to victory this fall. They also are quietly adding to their own influence within a party that is personified by liberals such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and increasingly Barack Obama.  (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File)AP - On a recent Saturday afternoon in small-town northern Mississippi, a little-known conservative Democratic congressman went door-knocking and restaurant-hopping as if his own career were at stake.
