“A cherished friend”
Bill Gwatney was the chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party. The 48-year-old former state senator, who owned three Little Rock-area General Motors dealerships, had been planning to travel to the Democratic National Convention in Denver this month as a superdelegate. He had backed Hillary Rodham Clinton but endorsed Barack Obama after she dropped out of the race. Clinton and her husband, Bill, the former president and former Arkansas governor, issued a statement saying Gwatney was “not only a strong chairman of Arkansas’ Democratic Party, but … also a cherished friend and confidant.”
