Senator Joe Manchin, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, and Representative Nick Rahall will all be skipping the 2012 national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Manchin has already publicly stated that he is unsure if he will vote for Obama, and has voted with Republicans on several big issues.
The senator said that he felt his time was better spent focusing on the people of West Virginia's future, rather than this single election.
Tomblin and Rahall have not given any sort of release as to why they aren't going.
Obama is very unpopular in West Virginia, having barely won the state primary against a convicted felon; he also struggled in Arkansas and Kentucky.
