As Bradley and Republican Rep. Frank Guinta explained how the Segway worked, a handful of Clark campaign workers arrived bearing signs. One was dressed as a magician, a profession Bradley briefly held when he lived in Switzerland in the late 1970s.
Just thought it was funny that these guys running for office would use the segway as an attention getter. I wonder who else might use this idea and apply it to their needs.

A politician being seen riding a Segway around might attract some of the young voters to vote for that particular politician. He might be perceived as being for the x generation. Anything for a vote. [V]

It is a positive sign for Segway that some politicians consider the Segway a people drawer.

One thing I would love to see is the 100yr old senator in the U.S. riding one of those babies on the fast key. If he could handle it, what a story that would make. [:p]

I have to say now that politicians are just as bad as any of the other groups that are using the Segway-HT and Segway LLC for the wrong reasons.

This is just me fuming off from another post in this forum :(
