As Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention kicks off, a lingering question remains unanswered: Just where are the Sebastian County Democrats who came to Denver?

No one from the county or Fort Smith, the state’s second-largest city, is part of the official delegation to Denver. However, county party chairman Lee Webb said earlier this month that “a couple” Democrats from the region were headed to the Mile High City for the festivities.

Webb refused to say who they were. Arkansas delegates haven’t seen or heard from any Sebastian County residents.

In honor of Biff Henderson of the Late Show with David Letterman, who was spotted last night at the Pepsi Center, here are the top 10 possible places these unnamed Sebastian Countians could be:

10. Behind bandanas posing as anarchist protesters.

9. With the Oklahoma delegation, since their across-the-state-line neighbors have a Democratic congressman.

8. At Invesco Field to beat the crowd for Barack Obama’s Thursday night acceptance speech.

7. Hiking from the Arkansas delegation hotel to the Pepsi Center. If they left Monday, they should finally get to downtown Denver about noon Wednesday.

6. Crashing parties.

5. An hour ahead of everybody else, having forgot to move their watches back an hour for Mountain Daylight Time.

4. At Denver Broncos training camp.

3. Wandering aimlessly as they navigate the security fortress constructed around the Pepsi Center.

2. Boycotting the convention, since they’re big Coca-Cola fans.

1. Using a convention trip as a ruse so they can take a vacation somewhere else.
