Boxer rejects media questions about whether Hillary has done enough for Obama

DENVER - U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer once again rejected the questioning of reporters on Wednesday, wondering whether Sen. Hillary Clinton has done enough to shift emphasis from her to presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack O'Bama.

"They (the media) just don't get it," Boxer (D-Calif.) said. "I ask you, our delegates. Are we united for Barack Obama? The answer is yes we are!"

Boxer credited Clinton for her primetime speech Tuesday night at Pepsi Center where she made plain, at least to many observers, that she expects her supporters to fully line up behind the Illinois senator's candidacy.

"It was a great speech," Boxer said. "But when we all go home - that is when the work begins in the battleground states. I think we have to cover our bases, but I think it's fair to say that Barack Obama is safe in California."

Before closing her speech to run to four more events just before noon, Boxer passed on the regards of her colleague, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who broke her ankle earlier this month while on a walk at Lake Tahoe.

"She's still in quite a bit of pain but, knowing her as I do, she'll be out there again soon," Boxer said.
