DENVER - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton released her remaining convention delegates on Wednesday as Democrats were poised to formally deliver the party's presidential nomination to Barack Obama, making him the first black nominee of a major party.

Suspense still remained over the voting process — and whether and when a planned roll-call vote would be cut off to give Obama the nomination by acclamation.

Obama planned a mid-afternoon arrival in the convention city after campaigning in Montana.
