DEBATE MYSTERY: DID KERRY HAVE CHEAT SHEET?

Section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding" that was negotiated and agreed upon by both political campaigns states:

"No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate.... Each candidate must submit to the staff of the Commission prior to the debate all such paper and any pens or pencils with which a candidate may wish to take notes during the debate, and the staff or commission will place such paper, pens and pencils on the podium..."

So what did Dem presidential contender John Kerry take out of his jacket as he approached the stage [with his back to the auditorium's audience]?

What did Kerry place on the podium?

Video replays of the Kerry maneuver played all weekend long on the internet.

[A tight zoom analysis of the Boston.Com feed shows Kerry pulling a mysterious item his jacket [14 seconds into video, after commerical]. Kerry appears to unfold some sort of paper seconds later, at his podium.]

A top Kerry campaign source explained to the DRUDGE REPORT late Sunday how Bush supporters were once again trying to distract.

"Kerry did not cheat," said the Kerry insider. "This is more lies from Republicans, who are hoping for a quick change of subject away from the president's performance, and the new polls."

When pressed on the fact that even brandishing a pen from his jacket would have violated debate rules, the Kerry staffer laughed, adding, "See you at the inauguration, Drudge".

That Kerry insider obviously has mental delusions since the polls are still in Bush's favor.. but anyways, if this is true...

I saw Kerry blink a lot too, so I think Bush had one.. it was like that one show of the simpsons.. where the Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Marge and Homer were shocking each other.

It's starting to be reported that the "mystery object" Kerry removed from his pocket before the first question was...

*gasp*

...a pen.

DEM FLASHED 'WRITE' STUFF AT DEBATE

By GERSH KUNTZMAN

October 4, 2004 -- Was John Kerry trying to pull something at the debate last week?
That question was burning up the Internet yesterday after a slo-mo review of the footage showed the Massachusetts senator taking an object out of his right pocket before the first question.

Was it a cheat sheet — as some conservative bloggers claimed — or was it something innocuous?

Either way, it would violate the debate rules agreed to by both campaigns: "No props, notes . . . or other tangible things may be brought into the debate."

Many blogs offered links to the "Pocket-gate" footage. One, INDC Journal, even posted frame-by-frame stills purporting to show Kerry pulling out a notecard and placing it onto the podium.

But the mystery was solved when The Post reviewed a Fox News Channel feed from Thursday's debate: Kerry pulled out . . . a black pen.

Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade remained angry at the bloggers' guilt-by-insinuation.

"The right-wing attack machine will say anything to steal a debate do-over," he said.

"We plead guilty to having a pen."

The Bush campaign did not comment.

David Wade could be trying to cover his ass. I think Kerry cheated in this debate. He is still losing in the polls and he will lose the election.

It could be a circular tube with a note wrapped up in it made to look like a pen.

Or maybe it was a detonator disguised as a pen...if things start going to badly in the debate, *whump* and no more opponent.

You know, Kerry is actually very smart, he wouldn't need a "cheat sheet"; that's something Bush would need.

Besides, if he had such a sheet, he wouldn't have been writing constantly while Bush was talking. What was he doing? Why, he was jotting down what points to make to counter what Bush said.

Cheat-sheet? *sigh* That's silly.

Even if he had a cheat sheet. So what. Kerry's remarks were obviously more spontaneous then Bush's canned comments.

Oh remember when somebody was asking me about that Rasmussen poll with 3,000 correspondents that was partly taken before the debate?

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/Pre...acking_Poll.htm

Well it has been updated.

Kerry gained one percent. Wow. He failed in my eyes. This poll has one of the larger samples out there.... it is better then those 600-1,000 samplings. Bush's popularity went down... a stunning... -.4%.
