Fighting Democrats

If the numbers here are correct, the party breakdown of military veterans challenging DC incumbents in 2006 is 36 Democrats to 2 Republicans. Interesting. I don't have a roll call, but info on 23 of the Democratic candidates is here, and the site adds that more information is coming soon.
