Over 400 Convention attendees, friends, families and guests flocked to two official parties Thursday night in Little Rock. Guests first checked out the Clinton Presidential Center before moving on to a rooftop cocktail party hosted by the Arkansas Times. Said Salt Lake City Weekly's Ben Fulton (pictured), "The air smells like chewing tobacco, frying pork and diesel oil, and that's a good thing."

AAN News put together this voting guide to help members get acquainted with the candidates.
