You are right about that sadly
I saw the digital still that seemed to clearly show a squared off object in Kerry's hand. I wondered if there were any door or window at that location which might have let in light; but that didn't seem likely they would allow a door or window light to be showing at that point in the debates. - I tried to look objectively, but it sure did look a lot like either a notecard or a pack of notecards, or some such thing. - In addition, did Kerry put anything back in his pocket after, or during the debates; or if he left something on the podium, there would have had to have been a confederate to pick it up after the debate. - -
On the channel I watched, it seemed to me that the stage lighting over Bush was a yellowish tinged one, while the one over Kerry was a full spectrum light. Did anyone else notice this? It would be so easy for a Bush hater in the setup crew to do little things that added up to make Kerry look better. (A yellow light would make a person's coloring look jaundiced or washed out. I kept thinking Bush looked remarkably well, for there to be a yellowish light over him. Maybe I'm just being paranoid or imagining things.)
Twinkie, I hadn't even thought about the lighting, even though I did look at Bush several times and think he looked exhausted, spent. Can someone with a good recording take a look at this issue?

I guess it's just ok for them to break rules as laws.
If it was Bush all hell would break loose.
UPDATE: LGF has posted another video that shows even more clearly that the object in question is DEFINITELY not a pen. I can only assume that those who are proclaiming it to be a pen are either ignorant of the fact that they're discussing two separate and distinct moments in time, or they don't care, or a combination of the two.
I continue to try to obtain a high-end copy of the footage. As clear as the issue is in the limited-resolution videos posted on LGF, it will be IRREVOCABLY clear if I can get high-end footage to work with. Once I get the footage, I'm planning to also put together a multi-camera synced shot that demonstrates clearly that the OBJECT 1 (pen) and OBJECT 2 (paper/index cards/device) sequences are two entirely different moments.

Anything new to report?
Nothing new to report; still trying to get high-res footage. I'll have a deadline off my back tomorrow and will be able to chase it with a bit more tenacity.

Thanks, would you ping me when and if you find anything?
Yup, will do.
