TAMPA – Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign has been informed that it will start receiving Secret Service protection on Thursday, two campaign sources and a senior Republican tell ABC News.

Secret Service protection is being given to the campaign not because of a specific threat but because of the increase in crowd sizes as the primary season has progressed over the past few weeks, according to the sources, who refused to be identified because they don’t have authority to comment on such matters publicly.

I take it they're afraid an over-obsessed Newt fan will show up at one of their rallies?

It's kinda ironic that the Republican candidate who receives the smallest crowds is the only one getting protection from larger crowd sizes.  Maybe the White House already knows this.

Romney is the presumptive nominee, so his protection is a matter of national security.

Any word on when the presumptive nominee will start leading in the national primary polls?

Sorry, I wouldn't go that far. Give it a month.

[Averroës Nix]

So how long until Newt mentions this as proof that Obama would rather face Romney?

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm not suprised by this move to be honest with the multiple-contest days starting this month.

I assume Romney is the first android ever to receive secret service protection.

P.S. LOL at everybody that takes Lief's anti-Romney posts too seriously. I find his act hilarious.

the Secret Service should be privatized, no?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

OMG, what a great development that changes everything. A frontrunner for the nomination received Secret Service protection. This is truly historic day.

That would be Al Gore.

Gallup already has him in the lead nationally.

A presumptive nominee who's 5% ahead and only polling 31%... what?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Im surprised he did not already have secret service protection.

Your humor is about as funny as that of your idol.
