Moments ago, House Democrats concluded a caucus conference call to discuss, among other things, strategy for dealing with the new, potentially hostile, environments at town halls in their districts. I’ll fill in the blanks with more info as it becomes available, but the long and short of it is that–astroturf or not–the news early this week served as a wake up call to Democrats, and over the last 24 hours or so they’ve been coalescing around a strategy for managing their events, and advancing their recess message, with or without interruptions.
Late update: On the call, Democrats agreed to push ahead with August plans and messages. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) recounted his run-in with rowdy protesters to prepare members who haven’t been accosted for what to expect and how to react.
