Heh, I think you've got an excellent idea there!
Let Kerry's people take the lights off Kerry's lectern, and leave them on Bush's.
The message the public will get: Kerry is a typical elitist. Thinks he's so special, the rules shouldn't apply to him.
Exactly - a stupid move.
But if they were to forcibly remove them from the President's lectern - that's a stupid move, as well.
