WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Artur Davis, a key surrogate for Barack
Obama's presidential campaign, has been tapped to deliver a
nominating speech for the candidate at the Democratic National
Convention.
Davis' spokeswoman said the congressman will speak for several
minutes Wednesday afternoon at the Pepsi Center to formally place
Obama's name in nomination. The other nominating speakers had not
been named.
Davis, a former Harvard law classmate of Obama's, chaired
Obama's campaign in Alabama and was one of his earliest supporters
in the presidential race.
