Note the reflectivity of the object just before he put it down. Lite color (whiteish) around the outside and then dark in the center. From that camera angle dark would be a simple reflection from the audience. And glass would do that.
Hard to say what it is but a PDA is NOT a farfetched possibility. Actually, somewhat of a probability.

Well, whatever it was he didn't use it THAT much. From what I remember it was Bush who kept looking down at his 'notes' and Kerry who was talking to the camera. Kerry was also taking notes a lot when Bush was talking.
Even so, whatever it turns out to be is a clear violation. I picture a great Bush Ad starting with a kid caught cheating in an exam and then slow mo of Kerry pulling 'whatever it is' out and then the caption ends saying, "Can we trust him to be a moral leader for our nation? Character matters."
lol maybe the swift vets could even get in on this.
It may just be a makeup compact of some sort. I'm sure he carries one.
