...long ago, a family driving across Kansas on well-traveled I-70 would encounter nothing racier than a pecan log and nothing more hyped than the "world's largest prairie dog."

There, anti-Obama demonstrators (made up mostly of two groups - Patients Rights and Tea Party Patriots) were gathered with signs, right next to a pro-reform group, Montanans for Single Payer (many of whom are unhappy with Max Baucus, the Montanan who chairs the Senate...
