BOSTON - Former Clinton Cabinet member Robert Reich on Friday endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton in the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Two other Democratic elder statesmen, former Sens. Sam Nunn of Georgia and David Boren of Oklahoma, also said they were supporting the Illinois senator.
Reich, who served as Labor secretary under Bill Clinton, said in a blog post that "although Hillary Clinton has offered solid and sensible policy proposals, Obama's strike me as even more so."
Reich also said Obama's plans for reforming Social Security and health care have a better chance of succeeding, and his approach to the nation's housing crisis and financial market failures are sounder than the New York senator's.
Reich is a longtime friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton. He ran for governor in Massachusetts in 2002 and now is a professor at the University of California-Berkeley.
A number of other former Clinton cabinet members have endorsed Obama. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who was U.N. ambassador and energy secretary under Clinton, endorsed former rival Obama in March despite heavy wooing by the former president. Former Denver Mayor Federico Pena, who headed the transportation and energy departments under Clinton, became a co-chair of Obama's campaign last September. Former Clinton Commerce secretaries Norman Mineta and William Daley also have endorsed Obama.
Nunn and Boren will serve as advisers to Obama's National Security Foreign Policy Team.
Nunn served as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee from 1987-95, while Boren was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Both fall into the moderate-conservative end of the Democratic party's ideological spectrum and gave Bill Clinton trouble during his presidency, trying to tug him to the right on issues while most congressional Democrats were leaning to the left.
Nunn, who recently flirted with his own possible White House bid, said Obama has "a rare ability to restore America's credibility and moral authority and to get others to join us in tackling serious global problems."
Boren, who recently played host to a forum on electoral alternatives, including third-party runs, said: "Our most urgent task is to end the divisions in our country, to stop the political bickering, and to unite our talents and efforts. Americans of all persuasions are pleading with our political leaders to bring us together. I believe Senator Obama is sincerely committed to that effort."
LOL! Mini-Me?
On this morning’s show, Imus referred to Reich as “...that traitorous dwarf.”
The media is rarely stating the point that has been obvious since February. Hillary needs overwhelming victories in the remaining states just to break even.
I talked to someone from N.Y.that came in to help Hillary.They said she needs a big win in PA.
I’m really torn up over this. On the one hand I want to see Hillary and Bill lose the nomination and on the other I want this infighting to go on into the summer. Watching the dim party fracture is fun.
They already accused each other of being Terrorist Sympathizers on National TV.
Since I want McCain-Obama matchup, from my point of view the risk of infighting to continue is that Hildabeast would win. If she is the nominee, she would scorch-earth the whole planet including McCain.
So I keep hoping she would be slayed by Obambi because Pubs don’t know how to beat Klintons.
I had nightmares as a kid about the Oompa Loompas.
Or is it Oompas Loompa?
Anyway, they really creeped me out.
And if Obama wins the nomination, Bill and Hillary will make sure he loses to McCain. Only way Hillary could possibly have a chance in 2012.
It won’t be her choice.
With Fast Eddy Kendall in her corner, I don’t see her losing PA either—especially Philly.
Although I would like to believe the hype that Clinton will drop out, dropping out does not fit her M.O., not when she is close to the prize.
Remember who asked Obamadingdong the question about Ayers—George Stephanapolous. And he used to work for?
With Fast Eddy calling in markers right and left, he will deliver PA to Her Heinous. They will be counting votes all night long in Philly—until they find enough votes to make her the winner.
All this ejaculation about her dropping out seems a bit premature to me.

That missus clinton is vetted is perhaps the biggest 'fairy tale' of this race.
Great stuff by Mia.
