Do the candidates have security

[Blue_Roses]

as they campaign? After Robert Kennedy's assassination in '68, I often wonder and worry how tight security is for the candidates as they near the nomination. Kennedy appeared to be nearing the Democratic nomination when this happened and I would like to think that security would be tight enough that this doesn't happen again.

With the volatile nature that this election promises to be, it is a concern.

1. Don't know if they do...

... but I hope so. I worry about their safety too sometimes.

4. I know they provide

security at debates and events like that, but to my knowledge Dennis Kucinich has no security staff. He travels with supporters in their vehicles (American made only), and that's enough to reassure me because I know how many of us would take a bullet for him without blinking.

6. Dennis does have a body guard

Just one guy who follows him around, blends right in...

5. According to a Clark advance man

I talked to a couple of weeks ago, Secret Service protection kicks in for all the candidates after New Hampshire.
