Calling him "the most liberal senator" in Congress, Democratic Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he won't endorse the presumptive Democratic nominee.

But Boren said that he will vote for Obama at the Democratic convention in August and also plans to vote for him on Election Day in November.

"I think this is an important time for our country," Boren told the AP. "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."

Barack Obama today scored the backing of Sam Nunn and David Boren, two former senators with strong foreign policy bona fides. The relatively conservative Democrats – who are not superdelegates – will be advisors on Obama's National Security Foreign Policy Team.

Nunn is a Georgian who spent eight years as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee; Boren, the former Governor of Alabama, was chair of the Senate Select Committee on intelligence. Both are highly respected in the Democratic foreign policy establishment.

Boren noted that Obama "had the good judgment more than five years ago to warn against our involvement in this tragic and costly war. He also understands the need to repair our partnerships with other nations and to more effectively use diplomacy to serve our national interests."

Obama also secured the endorsement of former Clinton administration Secretary of Labor Robert Reich this afternoon. In a blog post, Reich, also not a superdelegate, wrote that his "avoidance of offering a formal endorsement until now has also been affected by the pull of old friendships and my reluctance as a teacher and commentator to be openly partisan." (Reich was a friend of Bill Clinton at Oxford and dated Hillary Clinton when she was at Wellesley.) He writes that he could not "be silent any longer":
