The truth is, all candidates use it -- or suffer the consequences. When Wesley Clark entered the 2004 presidential race, he caught a cold, lost his voice, and was unable to campaign for several days. Some people speculated that the pace of a national campaign had knocked the former NATO comander off the campaign trail. I knew it was because he hadn't learned about hand sanitizer. National candidates shake hundreds, if not thousands, of hands every day. They will get sick unless they wash their hands early and often.
Consider the average trade show/conference - you meet tons of people, you shake their hands - and then you blame the post show cold on the airplane. I'm thinking it might not be the airplane air. This isn't something I've given much thought to, and I don't come down with serious colds all that often. If you do, you might want to consider the advice above.
