Sen. John McCain of Arizona waded through a crush of strangers at a crowded roadside diner in Florida two weeks ago, shaking hands and posing for photos with admirers and gawkers alike.

That's the kind of scenario that energizes voters but makes Secret Service agents shudder.

McCain, though, has no agents watching over him.

This article forgets the time that President Reagan was shot at in 1981. They don't even mention it!!

John McCain was held hostage for years and survived one of the worst Naval disasters in history. He has his own security and I, for one, applaud his bravery. Doubt anyone is going to shoot him.

Let's face it. If someone really wants you dead...he/she has a real good chance at pulling it off.

If this is a reflection of his decision-making, I question his judgment. The man is good man who has been a hero in service to his country ... but I think he might be just too far past his prime to be President.
