No camera shots from behind the candidates and no notes either ! What are the Bushites afraid of ?

2. bad tailoring

just an idea

[havocmom]

10. Thirty years tailoring experience here: THAT was not a rumbled suit

They put something on the man. They demanded not filming from the back.
They were doing something wrong and they bloody well knew it.

To those who wonder how bush* could have preformed so badly if being fed lines: There are devices which jam signals. Jamming devices are frequently used where security is high to prevent any electronic device from detonating any device they may have missed.

If there was some device he had to wear, such as a back brace or one of those things which deliver stimulation to nerves to fight chronic pain, his tailor could have made accommodations which would have made the device unnoticeable. The fact that the tailor did not make any accommodations for a device means the device was very secret.

Jamming devices are in order, ladies and gentleman. As is a good pat down and extremely good video scrutiny.

I would like to see him have to give a urine sample too. The public should know if a candidate is taking drugs to preform.

5. that's been the rule every other debate--the networks don't follow that 1

though

6. How can one watch electoral porn without the "back shot?"

:shrug:

[Endangered Specie]

7. Oh I dont know... when Kerry nails Bush

in the ass, you won't need any fancy camera vies to see/hear it.

[rkc3]

9. When Kerry nails bush in the ass it's not a gay thing...

he's just showing bush who's boss.

8. A Side Shot Will Do Just as Well

Here's hoping.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. I noticed in the second debate (on C-Span)

that the side shots of Dumbyass chopped off his back. There were a couple of brief shots, but they weren't substantial enough to see anything.

However, following the debate, he turned around while the cameras were still on.

12. They're afraid the string will show.

13. Steve Bell is at it again

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. No notes? Why not?

First, Kerry's note taking to limit reaction shots was brilliant, just brilliant! I don't know if it was planned, but he didn't give the pundits any negative reaction shots to latch onto. So I have to ask, who requested the elimination of the note taking?

15. More than likely the Bush Campaign did .

I only heard this while watching CNN Inside Politics earlier today . I will believe these rules once I watch the debate this evening .
