.....snip..... Factor in the cost of transportation,
and you're into five figures, easy -- all for just ONE crummy little
speech,
given by a V.P. candidate!

You're sure willing to **** this kind of money away protecting a
vice-presidential wannabee -- and you're sure cavalier about our freedom
of
movement.

Personally, I don't exactly understand why presidential candidates in the
USA campaign in person anyway, given that they all load up the live audience
with their own supporters in advance anyway... (and the Republicans are even
worse than the Democrats).

For all the difference it will make on election day, they could all make
their speeches from an underground studio inside the Colorado Mountains.
