Here are the specific frames from the debate video shoqing most clearly what Kerry had in his hand as he took it out of his pocket and placed it on the podium.
I have taken two of the frames, lightened them, zoomed in, and sharpened the pics. No other enhancements have been made:
**Has anyone checked the end of the video to see if he picked up anything?**
Excellent question!
**"W" should win debate on a disqualification!**
And cancel the rest of the debates!

Good one! 3x5 cards no doubt. He looks at them for some time as he's taking the podium and then he looks up addressing the crowd and appears to consolidate the stack putting them down. No one would handle a handkerchief or pen like that at a moment like that.
Kerry cheated.
Just d**n.
I've seen elsewhere that at 2:43 there might be evidence of a Kerry earpiece, though there is nothing wrong with his hearing. Seems like you may have the ability to detect that given the nice work you just did.
If you find anything on the earpiece, make a new post about it and what you've found so far. The magnitude of what you are finding merits it.
"Exactly
Hugh Hewitt on Friday played long long excerpts of Bush's substantive answers."
LOL! Re your 131. Posted my 478 before reading yours. All I can say is:
GMTA!
I'll take a look at it, the 00:02:43...
I also agree that at 00:1:56, the zoom of the photo shows definate flat Pixels, whereas frames just prior show hand with curved, and not so flat pixels...

Possible.

Well, it appeared to me he actually folded something. It could have even been a small notebook, BUT the motion seemed more like that of folding a...........handkerchief. The eye of the beholder...
Kerry cheated.
Wouldn't surprise one bit!

I wonder if Bush saw that sKerry had some note cards or crib notes or whatever, and just got plain disgusted with the whole thing. His demeanor certainly changed shortly into the 90 minutes.
How do you handle something like this?
They had agreed not to "roam", along with no notes, etc. I probably wouldn't have been as kind as George Bush, and I would have strode over and picked up the notes and looked at them, and then declared this debate is OVER- My opponent has just broken the rules which he and his team agreed to, and this a breach of contract for all the debates.
He is clearly cheating, and I won't play this game. Then I would have thanked the audience and left the stage.
I see Sandy Berger has been advising John Kerry again.
What a loser.
"I read somewhere that Fox News was supplying the cable video for all the networks to use. "
May be. I had the choice of CBS or CNN. I found a UPN channel being narrated by Shephard Smith for FOX, so I watched that.
it looks like my little white sony clie. i hope fox really does have overhead shots as has been rumored.
The press wasn't "suckered" any more than Dan Rather was suckered. The press is against us. Unfortunately, Bush gave them something to seize on.
Gun Control is good. I like gun control. My idea of gun control is a a 3 inch group at 100 yards with open sights. :)
He definately had something under his jacket, they showed his back several times and it was bulky and you could see the top ridge of it. He is much thinner in person. I don't remember one shot of Kerry from the back. I've got the tape and need to watch again.
Sorry I've been off the planet for a few days.......whats the deal about a card or notes Jeff ??
