KDP fundraiser: Cheers, jeers for McBrayer's Obama milk carton comments

LOUISVILLE -- As U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton arrived to a raucous reception to Friday night's Kentucky Democratic Party fundraiser, she was joined on stage by KDP Chairwoman Jennifer Moore -- an undecided superdelegate -- and lobbyist and former state party chair Terry McBrayer -- a committed Clinton superdelegate.

McBrayer successfully incited both sets of supporters in his introductory speech by noting Obama's absence from the commonwealth in the past several months.

"I have personally contracted with Dean’s milk company and we are putting Obama’s picture on a carton of milk," McBrayer said.

The reaction to McBrayer's comment included extended cheering from Clinton's supporters and vocalized anger from the Obama side.

One shout of "Bring the party together" could be heard from Obama supporters.

Obama's campaign announced today the candidate would be visiting Kentucky next week, although details are not yet confirmed.
