Senator Obama passed on major test of party unity yesterday when the Kentucky Democratic Party, convening to name the delegates to the National Convention, also selected an Obama supporter as their add-on delegate.
As I noted here, the ability of the Kentucky Democratic Party to nominate an Obama supporter would show how far the state party was willing to unite around the presumpive nominee, despite his overwhelming loss in the state primary to Senator Clinton.
Matthew Barzun, an Obama backer, was named the Kentucky add-on delegate.
In other Kentucky news, three uncommitted Kentucky superdelegates--Governor Steve Beshear, State Chairwoman Jennifer Moore, and Vice-Chairman Nathan Smith--pledged themselves to Senator Obama at the Convention.
