Roxanne TaylorDENVER - Roxanne Taylor (D-Bowie), a Barack Obama Democratic National Committee delegate from the 5th District, plans on making it to presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s acceptance speech despite suffering from a stroke.

Taylor checked in to Denver Medical Center early Tuesday morning after she suffered a stroke during a reception hosted by Comptroller Peter Franchot (D-Takoma Park).

“She is recovering miraculously,” Maryland Democratic Party Executive Director Quincey Gamble told the Maryland delegation during a reception at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

Gamble then read a statement from Taylor: “Nothing will stop me from being there Thursday night,” she said.
