Cue “Don’t Stand So Close to Me.” President Obama will be in the Rocky Mountain state today for a speech and fundraiser, but leading Colorado Democrats — including endangered incumbent candidates Sen. Mark Udall and Gov. John Hickenlooper — won’t be anywhere near the man with the reverse Midas Touch.
President Obama is coming to Denver Wednesday. Three of Colorado's top Dems have other plans. #copolitics http://t.co/0sqSOWBmzY

At least not in front of the cameras, anyway.
Just the $. @SenMarkUdall to skip flight, photo op & speech by @BarackObama. He WILL attend closed door fundraiser. http://t.co/JDyf5ydQaR

Lean forward…toward the exits!
Best way to clear out a room full of elected Democrats: shout "Obama's coming, and he's got a camera!"

Break out the world’s tiniest violin:
I'm disappointed that 3 of our top Colorado Dems will not be present for President Obama's visit to Cheesman Park in Denver this week.
