BUT HE’S VERY POPULAR: More Dems Refusing to Endorse Obama. “Earlier today, news broke that North Carolina congressman Larry Kissell is refusing to endorse President Obama and might not attend the Democratic convention later this year in Charlotte, N.C. And now, there’s word that Rep. Hayden Rogers won’t be endorsing Obama or even attending the convention.”

Nothing to see here, move along. But even Andrea Mitchell isn’t buying it.

UPDATE: The quote above says Rep. Hayden Rogers, but reader John Richardson writes: “Rogers is the chief of staff to Rep. Heath Shuler and is the Democrat nominee for the 11th District. He is not a Congressman. Given the elimination of the Democrat stronghold of Asheville from the 11th District, Rogers has to do everything in his power to distance himself from Obama.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Report: Rep. Cuellar to skip Dem convention. “Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar is joining a growing list of lawmakers who will be skipping their party’s nominating convention this September. The four-term lawmaker from Texas says he wants to focus his efforts on his reelection bid in his district and will not attend the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, Politico first reported.”

You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
