But it looks like U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback may have the most elaborate plans. His tent - fully air conditioned - holds up to 600 people and includes an intern dunk tank. Famous Dave's BBQ, snow cones, cotton candy and popcorn will be served. And at an event that turns out many religious conservatives, Brownback has snagged the Po-Life all-star team for his backers: evangelical leader Lou Engle, Bobby Schindler, the brother of the late Terri Schiavo, and Norma McCorvey, better known as "Roe" of Roe v. Wade.
