Now that CT is over with, lets look to what primary challenges are left
I decided to scour The Green Papers, and come up with a list of primary challenges against Democratic incumbents in the House and Senate. Most of these take place on what I call Super Tuesday 06, September 12th.

Disclaimer - This is a full list for information, and does not necessarily constitute an endorsement from little old me.

Of course, there's Jonathan Tasini vs Senator Clinton:

Also, in New York, there are challengers for Towns, Engel and McNulty (links in order of incumbent)

In Maryland, there are challenges to Albert Wynn and Chris Van Hollen.

In Minnesota, a challenge for Collin Peterson

In Rhode Island, Jennifer Lawless is challenging James Langevin

In Wisconsin, Chip Denure is taking on Ron Kind for supporting the war:

In Florida, a challenge against Kendrick Meek:

In Massachusetts, Phil Dunklebarger is taking on Stephen Lynch. Something of the lone right-winger in the otherwise progressive delegation:

In Washington State, Hong Tran, the only challenger to Maria Cantwell who refused to be bought off:

In Hawaii, DLC'er Congressman Ed Case is challenging Senator Akaka. And Neil Abercrombie also is facing a challenge:

2. Eric Massa CD29 New York

This is the race to win and Eric Massa can do it! His incumbent opponent is a Bush clone who has completely sold out his district
