Thu, 16 Oct 2008 18:15:48 +0000 http://www.crunchgear.com/?p=48750#comment-939238 Actually I went to the Hilton resort in Sedona once. I was there for about a week and half, there's quite a few people there, and the reception is absolutely horrible. No matter where I went I barely had reception if at all. So I could understand requesting a tower being built there. I'm sure they went out of their way to build one for a senator. Anyways, the real estate is redic in Sedona. The cheapest house we saw was around a million. I can't imagine what a entire Ranch would cost. Actually I went to the Hilton resort in Sedona once.

Obama just wants to stir up controversy in case his millions in ad money and his slogans "vote for me and all your dreams will come true" and "free money for all" don't work out.

The author of the article didn't bother figuring that out! Yep the Secret Service were the ones who requested the temporary cell towers, not the Mccains.

Oh and that cell tower? That was ordered by the SECRET SERVICE so they would have proper coverage to you know, protect a presidential candidate. <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1008/Secret_Service_says_they_put_in_request_for_Verizon_tower.html?showall" rel="nofollow">link</a> I see you’re back to your old smear campaigns against conservatives.

I'm sure if Obama lived out in the middle of nowhere they'd cart out a few there as well. Big deal. I'm certain his position didn't hurt, but come on. Non-story.
