Bush does, there are meadows of yellow sunflowers, swaths of tall bright white euphorbia, and along the woody creekbeds purple violets. Though the land around Prairie Chapel Road is a commercial-free zone, it has become a pasture of political messages in recent days when a crop of red, white and blue pro-Bush placards have sprouted on fencelines and in the front yards of the president's rural neighbors...
