McIntyre meets with Clinton

Mike McIntyre Hillary Clinton reportedly met with U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre today.

MSNBC reports that the Democratic presidential candidate met with undeclared superdelegates at a townhouse near the Democratic National Committee this morning.

The Lumberton Democrat previously said he would not make any endorsements before the state primary.

He is one of two state Democrats whose Congressional districts were won by Clinton. The other, U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, said he will cast his superdelegate vote for Clinton because she won his district.

Clinton won the Seventh Congressional District, 49 to 48 percent.

Update: McIntyre told the Associated Press he would wait to see how the primary process plays out before making a decision. He also noted that his district went for Clinton, while the state went for Obama.

"I think we should give the primary process every opportunity to work," McIntyre said in a phone interview. "Our job (as superdelegates) is to really to broker a final determination" if the primary doesn't do that."
