Obeying the rules is not trivial.

I know some Dems who look at this type of stuff in a candidate and it would sour them on Kerry.

Just because you have an overly negative view of Americans does not mean it is accurate.

[EDINVA]

not on your life, and I DO have two sons of what was once draft age

[rwfromkansas]

He still broke the debate rules.

[Bronzewound]

Yes, I saw it. It does have a dark area in the center that could be a screen. At that same point in time you can also see that he still has something in his right hand which he seems to place on the podium atop the object in the left hand.

This is not a particularly compelling scandal and will only make our side look bad, stabbing for an 'excuse' for Dubya's loss.

We should focus on winning, not this peripheral stuff. That being said, we need to keep Kerry honest in matters like this in debates 2 and 3.

[dmanLA]

Hey Dems!  It's the seriousness of the charge that matters, right?

That is my guess as well...it seems to me that LGF poster was just looking for something.

[FreedomCalls]

I know what I saw. It was maybe 2 x 4 and it appeared that he flipped it open what ever it was.

Presentation case for a Purple Heart?

[rwfromkansas]

Just rechecked the LGF quote.....that is from Kerry's opening statement.

I agree with you; he just said that because it was obvious that they would discuss Iraq and homeland security on a debate focused on those subjects!

It means nothing regarding getting stuff ahead of time.

I think people want to believe Kerry had the questions ahead of time because it provides an explanation for how sucky GW was.

If anybody sees the supposed earpiece, let us know. I doubt there was one, but thought I would post it for examination anyway.

[Shermy]

A lot said the same here - looking for something.

Now, if Kerry suggested the question about Sudan was coming up...!

The debate was in Florida...and there wasn't a Cuba question? Sheesh.

---It's definitely not a hanky

Maybe he thought Bush might wet himself if Bush got too close or something. "Depends" briefs maybe?

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

It's medals...no ribbons...medals...ribbons

[Tribune7]

That's great. He certainly unfolded something.

[FreedomCalls]

MAJOR "OOPS" on my part. My snarky remak got messed up in the editing. It should have said "Maybe he thought he might wet himself if Bush got too close or something."

[igoramus987]

Sorry, Post #139

Some have said on another thread that that Kerry just shook hands with Bush, so there should be nothing in his right hand. I rewatched cpsan.org... Inconclusive at this point.

Now, if I was Kerry, what would I rather the media talk about? Global Tests or a pen...unless it was paper, in which case I'd be pooping my pants.

"Maybe he thought Bush might wet himself if Bush got too close or something. "Depends" briefs maybe?"


---Are you suggesting that Bush is scared of Kerry? Bush might not have done well in that debate but scared of botox-boy he's not.

[MichelleWSC]

saw your clarification

As a public school teacher, I feel it sets a terrible example to the children of America for a presidential candidate to openly break the rules of debate in front of 55 million people who took this seriously enough to watch late into the night.
Also this is the official N.E.A. candidate. I wonder if the great ultra liberal teachers union will demand an explaination or an apology. I wonder how many high school civics classes had watching the debate as a homework assignment for class discussion the following day. Also how many lib. teachers spun a great Kerry debate victory in class next day.

even if it was a love note from Teresa, it wasn't permitted by rules and sends wrong message to kids.
