The Secret Service said Thursday that Democratic Sen. Barack Obama was being placed under its protection, the earliest ever for a presidential candidate.
Obama campaign officials will not say why they requested early protection, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Orr. But one source inside the campaign said there is concern about the size of Obama's crowds, and the crush of people who want to press close or even touch a candidate who exudes rock star appeal.
Obama's rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has a Secret Service detail that is provided to all former first ladies.
Now you just know that this is going to piss off the other potential candidates, whether they are Democrat or Republican.
I heard on CNN that this might have something to do with Obama being african american. Sadly that may be the only reason that he is in more danger then the other candidates.
