I was told by a couple of friends on FB that that was her mic pack. Umm, excuse me they had mics on their platforms so again, wtf was it?
back ups in case they walked towards each other or said anything away from podium...
standard operating procedures.
With an expected 100 million viewers, I expect they planed on using either the wired mike or wireless as a backup in case of malfunction.
If I were the one responsible for production, I would want a backup for the backup.
They each had both, a mic on the lecturn, and a mic on the clothing. The wireless arrangement is a contingency in case they leave the leacturn for some reason.

Lavalier lapel mics.
Is this the photo of the ear piece Hillary was wearing?
