U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, an Obama superdelegate, spoke to the crowd Friday evening on behalf of his favored presidential candidate. The message of his speech was one of unity, but supporters of both sides noisily made themselves heard as he spoke.

As U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton arrived to a raucous reception, she was joined on stage by KDP Chairwoman Jennifer Moore -- an undecided superdelegate -- and former state party chairman Terry McBrayer -- a committed Clinton superdelegate.

McBrayer successfully incited both sets of supporters in his introductory speech by noting Obama's absence from the state in the past several months.

No superdelegate commitment from Moore until after May 20

Kentucky Democratic Party Chairwoman Jennifer Moore said there is no change in her stance as an uncommitted superdelegate today, in spite of Senator Hillary Clinton's ten point victory in the Pennsylvannia primary.

"I'm in the same position as Monday," said Moore.

Moore - one of four uncommitted Kentucky superdelegates - indicated she would wait until after the Commonwealth's primary to announce a commitment.
