Photos: Getting around Democratic convention

MSNBC hired someone to dress up as a Democratic Party-donkey and ride around downtown Denver on a Segway in 93-degree heat. No wonder this donkey stayed in the shade. And, yes, there was an GOP elephant too. (Oddly, there was no evidence of the Libertarian Party's mascot, the Statue of Liberty. Nor was there a Segway-equipped sunflower or earthflower mascot tooling around to represent the Green Party.)
