but I've been wondering if anyone has reviewed the END of the debate to see what Kerry may have done with the object he brought to the podium.

I just reviewed the END of the debate Kerry had ample time to stick the documents down his pants like his buddy Sandy Berger while President Bush was giving his final remarks, OR while Laherer was giving the sign off, DURING BOTH the presidents final remarks and Leherer's remarks the camera never went to Kerry he had plenty of time and room to jock the contraband!

I did not see a pen either. What I saw was white and square.

I assume we'll have many freepers going over all available footage from beginning to end. How fortunate that we got the camera angle from behind and to the left of the podiums or we would never have seen this.

I'm wondering if he may have actually pulled a pen from the pocket as a cover story in case he was questioned, but there was definitely something else there as well. He also clearly had something in his right hand as he rounded the back of the podium. Some say it was a handkerchief but even that could have concealed something else.

Whatever the slight of hand, after he reached the podium he was handling a solid rectangular object which he laid on the podium surface. He made a motion which at first appeared as if he was unfolding something. After looking at it many times in the high res version, I now think he was either pressing a button or, as my son suggested, doing a flip motion. Either way, I am beginning to move away from the idea that this was a stack of note cards and leaning toward believing that the object was an electronic device.

I have no doubt that better minds than mine are at work on getting to the truth of this. I look forward to the results.

Did he take an earpiece out of his ear?
