Several top Democratic senators from coal-mining and oil-producing states who are facing competitive midterm races are conspicuously absent from the roster, including Sens. Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas. Also absent will be Sen. Mary L. Landrieu (D-La.), who was appointed head of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources this year amid complaints from environmentalists within the Democratic Party. Surely, you can understand that those Democrats were there in spirit, but they are up for election so they must hide their position from the voters.
