Two More Democrats Won't Endorse Obama; A Third Won't Attend Convention
Rep. Larry Kissel, NC-8, won't endorse Obama and doesn't know if he'll attend the convention (in his own state!).
Haden Rogers, NC-11, won't endorse and says he has "no plans" to attend.
Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas won't attend the convention. No mention of his endorsement plans.
They join this list of non-attendees (some of whom also declined to endorse Obama over Romney):
Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Jon Tester of Montana, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, as well as Reps. Nick Rahall of West Virginia, Mark Critz of Pennsylvania and Jim Matheson of Utah. Reps. Rep. Stephen Lynch and Richard Neal, both of Massachusetts, will be staying home as well, The (Springfieldm, Mass.) Republican reported.
We're the "extremists," while high-level members of their party find Obama's a wedge issue they can't be associated with?
