Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota; Reps. Artur Davis of Alabama (a candidate for governor), Paul Hodes of New Hampshire (who’s running for Senate) Mary Jo Kilroy of Ohio; New Mexico Lt. Gov. Diane Denish (who’s running for governor), Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter and Houston Mayor Bill White (who’s raising money for a Senate bid).
