Romney “Cheat Sheet” Was A Handkerchief, Campaign Says
buzzfeed.com ^ | 10/5/12 | Zeke Miller, Andrew Kaczynski

Mitt Romney's campaign is shooting down a simmering online theory the Republican nominee used a "cheat sheet" in Wednesday night's debate against President Barack Obama.

The theory — extensively documented by the liberal blog Daily Kos and picked up on the Daily Beast and elsewhere — focuses on a brief moment as Romney took the stage, pulled something out of his pocket, and put it on the podium.

But according to a Romney aide the object was simply a handkerchief, not an illicit list of zingers.

"It's a handkerchief," the aide said simply in response to the post.

Romney can be seen at another moment in the debate using the handkerchief.

“Obama was looking down a lot of times as if he were reading something...”

Maybe a wriswatch synced to an iPhone, getting tweets? I can spread “he cheats” rumors too.

Not a handkerchief that Mitt placed on the podium, but a pair of that "Magic Underwear" we've been hearing about.

At any rate, it must have worked. Obama appeared pretty unnerved right from the start.

When a committed leftist is shown the truth, he cannot accept it, and is forced to change his perception of reality.

Romney cheated, he forgot to check his brains at the door like Barry did.

I have it on good authority that these were Obama's podium notes during Wednesday's debate ;^)

This came from the same malfunctioning kind of mind that said that G W Bush had a radio receiver strapped to his back during a debate.

They are so crass they probably are not even familiar with the idea of carrying a handkerchief. It is a rather sophisticated and gentlemanly custom.

0bama didn’t have a handkerchief, so he had to use his sleeve, which is unfair and racist!

Obama had the answers written on the back of his eyelids...that’s why it appeared he was looking down.

Romney speaks without a teleprompter.... he doesn’t need to cheat. Then again, the kind of people who can’t talk to children without reading the words... well... dems might be projecting.

If you tell the truth, you don't need a CHEAT SHEET...
