Fmr KY Guv For HRC
FRANKFORT, KY -- Former KY governor Julian Carroll announced today that he is backing Hillary Clinton in the Dem primary. Carroll offered his support for HRC in the state capital before an event featuring Bill Clinton, who makes his first visit to the Bluegrass State today.
Carroll said he has known the Clintons since "Nineteen and Seventy-Four," when he became governor. "Look at me, I'm still goin! Look at that!" said Carroll, 76, kicking his heels at the podium.
"We need for our delegates to be cast in the lot of Hillary Clinton at the convention," he added. "That's what this is all about. ... I came today to put my personal endorsement, not only on my friend Bill Clinton ... but on Hillary Clinton, to be the next Democratic president of the United States."
Carroll was elected to a full term as governor in 1975; he now serves as a state senator representing a district that includes Frankfort.
WJC's visit to KY is the first by either Clinton and comes two months before the state's primary. Hillary Clinton is expected to visit the state later this week.

We all need to be doing our research during this time of decision for our choice of candidate for President. We know basically where the Clintons stand due to former President Bill Clinton. What do we really know of obama other than words. What and/or has he proved to us that he really can do the job! A man who cannot put his hand on his heart for the pledge of allegiance out of respect for what this great nations was built on then can he respect us of other faiths/religion. I really am concern as to whether enough of us are going to step up to the plate when our decision is made and have facts to back our decision and not make this a vote on promises with no proven track record.
