...campaigned most vigorously on prescription-drug benefits for the elderly. For months, the Abraham campaign flooded Michigan voters with ads calling Stabenow a prescription for disaster. But Stabenow had a cannier vote-getting strategy: she sponsored bus tours for senior citizens, dubbed the Stabenow Rx Express, across the border into Canada to buy medications at cheap rates, a gimmick employed by Democratic candidates along the northern border states...

But after a tour of the Pacific coastline, we finally headed East...
