Kentucky delegates will meet with Clinton today
By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com ReporterDENVER -- Clinton delegates from among the Kentuckians at the Democratic National Convention were invited to meet with their favored candidate this afternoon, on the eve of the acceptance speech of their party's nominee, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama.
The New York Senator is having a reception specifically for Kentucky Clinton supporters at her downtown Denver hotel today.
In yesterday's roll call vote on the floor of the DNC, Kentucky gave 36 votes to Obama and 22 to Clinton, meaning 40 percent of the delegation stuck with Clinton.
Going into the convention, Kentucky's delegation was officially comprised of 40 Clinton and 20 Obama delegates.
Delegates say Clinton is meeting with Kentuckians as a show of gratitude for their support of her campaign.
