Democratic Congressmen Against Barack

Some members of Congress aren't happy that their party's choice as nominee.

Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., told the Associated Press today that he has no intention of endorsing Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois.

And Democratic officials do not expect Boren to be the last to refrain from making a show of not backing his party's presumptive presidential nominee -- though Boren says he will vote for Obama for president in November.

These rebel Democrats don't even want to be seen at the convention!
Other House Democrats from swing districts -- Democrats who eked out victories in traditionally GOP districts, whom House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., calls her "majority makers" -- may refrain from even attending their party's convention in Denver in August.
Boren hits Barack's credibility at its most foundational level.
Boren noted that Obama had earned the National Journal's controversial rating as "Most Liberal" U.S. Senator in 2007, and saying though he talks a good game on working with Republicans, "unfortunately, his record does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion."
Now won't that make for a nice TV commercial!
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-Illinois, won Boren's congressional district with 66% of the vote during the Oklahoma primary in February. "Our nominee is not my first choice," Boren says.
