Sometimes you have to go to the politics, and sometimes the politics just come to you. Yesterday UVM officially hosted a White House Regional Health Care event, and unofficially hosted a sizeable protest rally for single-payer health care. Both events were well-organized and well-attended. Neil Jensen shook loose an engraved invite and snapped the following shots on his way into the gargantuan Davis Center, where Deval Patrick apparently wowed the crowd.

And by the way, that angst-filled debate over whether the Left should give Obama some running room or hit him really hard with big branches from Day One? Apparently moot.
