49. Secret Service protection this election is impressive.
Both Jen and I worked for K/E in 2004 and there's no comparison to what we saw yesterday.

Before Biden spoke, there were two agents standing in front of the podium, looking at every face in the crowd. When Joe came on stage, EIGHT agents came with him. I was watching the guy in charge and he told one of the agents to close a small entrance to the stage. He did and stood right in front of it. The others scanned the crowd, looking for something/anything out of the ordinary.

When the Bidens walked to the rope line the agents formed kind of a bubble around each of them; Jill had about four (two women included) and Joe had EIGHT. Two agents proceeded him, two followed, and four surrounded him.

When the agent told Jen to put down her flag, he meant it, and she did.

Impressive, indeed.
