>I found his response interesting since he is from Kansas and writes for the Hays Daily News in Hays, Kansas (pop. 20,000). Since Obama's mother and grandmother were from Kansas a response from another resident of Kansas would be interesting. Of course he may represent a very small minority, I don't know.

Well said!! I like him (the writer - not Obama - obviously).

Hays is a nice town - we have some clients out that way. It's a big city compared to Saint Marys (pop. 1800 or so on a sunny day), but it is still a very typical midwest town.
