WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., said Tuesday he will not endorse Barack Obama for president.

"I still remain very concerned about the (Obama) voting record being the most liberal of the United States Senate," said Boren, a superdelegate to this summer’s national Democratic convention in Denver.

He expressed support for what he described as a "centrist" agenda, adding his party’s presumptive nominee’s record does not reflect that approach.

Where’d this guy come from, and can we clone him?

A bi-partison Democrat who thinks for himself and has a conscience. Few and far between.

He’ll have an accident or found mentally incapable so they can take his vote.

Could make for a nice Mc Cain ad. If a fellow Democrat is saying that Obama is too liberal, that carries more weight than Republicans saying it.

And let’s recycle all the old Hillary campaign quotes about Obama too.

The Dems. have already written the ads to use against Obama.

There are still some Democrats left that put Country before Party.

If he didn’t I guarantee he wouldn’t get re-elected down here.

Dan’s father, David Boren, was the single vote that saved American from the Clinton BTU tax.

Rubbish. He is just a panderer who wants to be elected again in Okie. When he is in Congress he will caucus with the majority and help push their agenda.

Only the first of many. barack mvgovern will be like a burning gasoline filled tire around the neck of many rats who have to run with him at the top of their ticket. Of course b.mcgovern had no chance in Oklahoma anyway, but wait until he wants to go to South Florida to try to fool the old Jews from Queens. We'll see who is standing next to him. Let's see if Klein will be on the stage with him.
