As Democrats head to Charlotte, North Carolina this week for the Democratic National Convention, many Kentucky delegates will be going for the first time.  Auditor Adam Edelen is one of those first-timers. Edelen says he thinks his party will show why they truly are the best representatives and supporters of the middle class.  Edelen says former President Bill Clinton will likely be the best messenger for that campaign at the convention.
No Kentuckians are slated to give speeches from the convention stage, but Edelen says many, including himself, will be giving speeches to different groups throughout the week.  The Democratic convention ends Thursday night with President Barack Obama accepting his party s nomination for president.
