Barbara Boxer to Cast Superdelegate Vote, but not Endorsement for Clinton?

WARNING: The statement referred to below could not be verified so do not take it as fact until it is fully sourced.
  • The Mercury News reported in an article on March 6, 2008 that "Barbara Boxer, one of the state's best-known superdelegates, has confused some by her stance.
  • Boxer does not plan to endorse Clinton or Obama as long as both are running.
  • Even though she has not thrown her support to either candidate, she does plan to vote for Clinton at the convention because Clinton won the California primary. Saying "the will of the voters is paramount," she hopes the superdelegates do not decide the nominee at the convention. "Part of me says, 'Let's make the most of this.' We're seeing a record number of people turning out in state after state. There is tremendous excitement in states that we will need this fall. But this is dangerous territory - you try to control what your supporters say, but you can't always do that."
  • The article did not source the information and corroboration of Boxer's intent to vote for Hillary Clinton could not be found. Stay tuned for updates.
