Presidential nominee, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona has refused to request Secret Service protection.
Is he being a hero? Or does his desire to be more in touch with the people make him just naive in these times?
Not even these times.....How many years ago was it that Bobby Kennedy was assassinated on the campaign trail? 40?
I know McCain served during Vietnam, had close calls, and was a POW, but for him, or any of the candidates to not use Secret Service protection is ignorant.
He may have fought in combat, but he isn't carrying a weapon to defend himself right now.
He's a target...and what's worse is, now everybody knows it.
John McCain....don't be a hero.
