Democratic Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma said Tuesday Barack Obama is "the most liberal senator" in Congress and he has no intention of endorsing him for the White House.
However, Boren will vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August and will vote Democratic on Nov. 4.
"I think this is an important time for our country," Boren said in a telephone interview. "We're facing a terrible economic downturn. We have high gasoline prices. We have problems in our foreign policy. That's why I think it's important."
Boren, the lone Democrat in Oklahoma's congressional delegation, said that while Obama has talked about working with Republicans, "unfortunately, his record does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion."

??If drafted, I will not run; nominated, I will not accept; and if elected, I will not serve,? Strickland said in the interview. ??So, I don??t know how more crystal clear I can be.?
He added: ??That does not mean that I am any less committed to helping Barack Obama become the next president.?
Obama??s VP? ??Absolutely Not?? Says Ohio Gov. Strickland - America\??s Election HQ (http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/10/obamas-vp-absolutely-not-says-ohio-gov-strickland/)
So much for unity and actual support from the party....not saying that McCain is having much better luck with the far right. So who do the "moderates" vote for?;)
Have a good one!:s4:
