Showing No Love for Call Me Senator Boxer - SF Chronicle Will Not Endorse Boxer

The San Francisco Chronicle has declined to endorse Barbara Boxer.  This comes as a big surprise for several reasons, one being it is her hometown paper of sorts.  She started her political career in Marin County and her husband's law practice is based in Oakland. 

The incumbent, Democrat Barbara Boxer, has failed to distinguish herself during her 18 years in office. There is no reason to believe that another six-year term would bring anything but more of the same uninspired representation

Ouch! 

Boxer, first elected in 1992, would not rate on anyone's list of most influential senators. Her most famous moments on Capitol Hill have not been ones of legislative accomplishment, but of delivering partisan shots. Although she is chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, it is telling that leadership on the most pressing issue before it - climate change - was shifted to Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., because the bill had become so polarized under her wing.

Double Ouch!

So instead of endorsing Carly Fiorina they have chosen not to endorse anyone.  But the did say some positive things about Carly. 

Boxer's campaign, playing to resentment over Fiorina's wealth, is not only an example of the personalized pettiness that has infected too much of modern politics, it is also a clear sign of desperation.

In past elections, Boxer has had the good fortune of having Republican opponents who were inept, underfunded, on the fringe right - or combinations thereof. Her opponent this time, Fiorina, is proving to be articulate, well-funded and formidable.

But by not endorsing Call Me Senator are they not just saying go ahead and vote for Carly?
