At least as of Memorial Day 2000 Bush had some pretty heavy security when he spoke in Killeen Texas. Of course, it was definite by that time he was the Republican nominee. It's interesting to see secret service types in full suit and tie not breaking a sweat in the Texas sun.

As for terrorist possibilities to hurt Kerry - do you really think they'd want to do away with their choice for President?

You're right about Kerry being a terr'ists choice for leader of the U.S.

I don't know this for certain, but I guess that George W. had security provided by the Texas Rangers. When security is visible, folks get the idea that they're in the presence of someone important. It makes them look more presidential. Kerry did not look presidential to us. Even with his Botox wearin' off face.
