Salon.com - War Room: "The man can't catch a break from protestors opposed to his war in Iraq, even when he ventures off into the reddest of the red states. Even with Cindy Sheehan off to visit her ailing mother, protestors are still camped out near the president's estate in Crawford, Texas. They filled a park and lined the streets when he spoke Monday in Salt Lake City. And about 200 protestors turned out to greet the president this week in Donnelly, Idaho -- population 138 -- as he prepared for some rest and relaxation there.

Idaho may be the Bushiest state in the nation, but it doesn't seem to matter. 'President Bush probably breathed a sigh of relief when he landed in Idaho last night,' the Washington Post quotes Laura McCarthy, whose son Gavin is serving in Iraq, as saying at a protest in Boise this week. 'But no matter where he goes, he's going to find a Cindy Sheehan in every community across the United States. The name is going to be different, but the message is going to be the same.'"
