Pictures from the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles...

 The Kansas Sunflower Girls Show Jack a Good Time

At Sunday night's party for the Kansas Delegation, Jack the Donkey was entertained by some of his YD friends who took a break from dancing with Sunflowers to pose for this picture.

 A Kansan Made Good

Former Kansas Congressman and US Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman (with Joe White) stoped by and visited the Kansas delegation following his speech to the convention on Wednesday. He told this story to the convention during his speech.

When he was a freshman member of Congress and the members had to sit alphabetically, he was between Gephardt and Gore. He said that he jokes with both of them that he's glad one of the three of them made good.

Still thinking of a caption

  Nominating Night

The Kansas Delegation to the convention surrounds state chair Tom Sawyer (center) as he prepares to cast Kansas' votes for Al Gore.
KYD Treasurer Nora Bielat's head, or half of it, is just to the left of Sawyer's. Above and between them is Joe White. Chris Gallaway's head is obscured by the Gore sign in the lower left.
Dan Lykins (purple hat in front) is the state Party treasurer and, like Sawyer, is a former state president of the Kansas Young Democrats.

Is this guy supposed to be here?

CNN's Larry King poses for a photo with Joe White outside the CNN booth. Apparently when security tries to stop you from getting on the press level all you have to do is look upset and say,
"I've got network news in five minutes and I don't have time for this."
