The Washington Post reported this morning that about 100 House Democrats will be skipping an annual three-day meeting where they’ll be discussing strategy for the upcoming midterm election. Among those who will be absent are vulnerable Reps. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) and Joe Garcia (D-FL), as well as Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH) and Rep. Pete Gallego (D-TX).
Not only are they running from Pelosi and House Democrat leadership, but they’ll also skipping out on a private meeting with President Obama, as the article notes:
The no-shows will miss President Obama, who is planning to visit the Hyatt resort here for his third face-to-face encounters with House Democrats in three weeks.
If one thing is clear, it’s that these endangered Democrats would rather be anywhere else than at a secluded resort with Pelosi and Obama.
