Progressives are celebrating the Tuesday primary losses of two Pa. Blue Dog Democrats. Rep. Tim Holden lost to personal injury attorney Matt Cartwright and Rep. Mark Critz won a narrow victory over fellow Democratic incumbent Rep. Jason Altmire.

Redistricting and an influx of cash from organized labor contributed significantly to the Blue Dog losses:
@AP calls it for Matt Cartwright in the 17th district, meaning redistricting has claimed Rep. Holden. #2012

PA unions contributed 600+ vols 2 Critz camp, knocked 10,000+ doors, made 64,000+ phone calls, & sent 36,000+ pieces of mail. #PAlabor #PA12

But conservatives on Twitter decided to have a little fun with analyzing the primary results:
Obama ate the Blue Dogs.

So it appears that the Labor machine has reared its ugly head in the PA primaries. Blue Dogs are dropping like Obama's dinner.

Tim Holden was a "conservative democrat." And here I thought Obama had already eaten all the Blue Dogs. #tcot
