Maybe it was the notecards that they were allowed to write on. In the video it also looks like Bush is pulling something out, as well.

If it's a 3x5 cheat sheet, someone with VERY good handwriting must have made that up. Heck, I nearly failed a test in college, even with a cheat sheet that size! Although that might have been because I was "out" the previous night... ;)

I actually heard a theory from someone that it was a list of people to thank at the beginning, as he seems to look down a couple of times while doing his thanking. That makes sense.

IF Kerry cannot memorize a list of people to thank, there is no way he could have done this well in the debate without a cheat sheet. Also, they could not bring any tangibles to the podium. Why would he need to face away from the audience and moderator if it was NOT a cheat sheet.
