    Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obam has been placed under the protection of the U.S. Secret Service, reportedly because of a threat against him.

    It was bound to happen.

    Some things never change.

    Don't high-profile candidates usually receive protection as the election nears?

    More general threats = earlier protection.

    Nothing to see here, IMHO.

    What do you think will happen the day of the California Presidential Primary, between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM?

    Actually, NPR just reported that the Obama campaign requested the protection.
