WASHINGTON - Minorities will be represented in record numbers among the delegates to this month's Democratic National Convention in Boston, convention organizers said Wednesday.

Nearly 40 percent of the more than 4,300 delegates are of a minority background, including record numbers of blacks, Asians, American Indians and Hispanics, the Democratic National Convention Committee said.

Delegates to the convention, to be held July 26-29, are expected to formally choose John Kerry (news - web sites) as the Democratic presidential nominee and John Edwards (news - web sites) as his running mate.

3. Nader continues to refuse the Congressional Black Caucus.

"He made it clear he's going to stay in the race," said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, the chairman of the caucus. "It became abundantly clear to us that this is about Ralph Nader, and we were sorely disappointed."
