McCain: 'No' to Secret Service help

He points to inconvenience, expense to nation's taxpayers

Diana Marrero

WASHINGTON - 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.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, McCain is the only major candidate who is not guarded by a Secret Service detail. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has lifetime protection as a former first lady, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has had protection since asking for it last year. "The day that the Secret Service can assure me that, if we're driving in the motorcade and there's a guy in a rooftop with a rifle, that they can stop that guy, then I'll say fine," McCain told reporters late last year. "But the day they tell me, 'Well, we can't guarantee it,' then fine, I'll take my chances."

Although it has been decades since the last attack on a presidential candidate, Secret Service details have become part of the entourage that accompanies most White House hopefuls. Often seen as a necessary part of modern campaigning, the details can offer an air of legitimacy to a fledgling campaign. By providing security and some transportation, the details can cut down on campaign costs. But they're also cumbersome and constraining for candidates who want to connect with voters on a personal level.

McCain, who has cultivated a tough-guy image over the years, bristles at what he calls the inconvenience of Secret Service protection and says it's a waste of money.

McCain Plans to Take on Secret Service Protection

by FOXNews.com

Friday, April 4, 2008

John McCain plans to take on Secret Service protection and will be meeting with agency officials next week, the GOP nominee-in-waiting told FOX News on Friday, a day after the director of Secret Service told Congress that McCain is the only major candidate to have declined the protection.

“I think that it’s important as we get more and more visibility, that we recognize the inevitable,” McCain told FOX News’ Chris Wallace, in an interview to air on “FOX News Sunday.” “And so we will be talking with them early to arrange for very soon, some Secret Service protection.”

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama already have Secret Service details. McCain said Friday he’s resisted to date because it “inhibits my ability to have close contact with people.”

He said he’d meet early next week with agency officials to work out the protection and that he’d set it up “shortly thereafter,” likely within the next few weeks.
