| 35. Like I said upthread--the SS USES armored SUVs. They get about seven miles to the gallon. |
|
The candidate receiving protection doesn't get to "pick" what car they want to ride in. The SS makes those decisions.
I know Clinton gets protection, and Obama does as well. I don't KNOW if Edwards gets it. If he does, these sniping comments are totally unfair.
If all the candidates are getting protection, this thread is flat out DUMB, and reflects poorly on the people getting snarky without getting their facts in order....

| -Edwards says no SUVs. Except the one he's driven around in. |
