Anyone detect Bush had warmer lighting on him
Than Kerry? Bush always seemed to look like he was in warmer light and Kerry had colder, greener light. Or was it just me?

1. Yes
I was watching on C-Span and Kerry was smaller/farther away and had a yellowish/greenish tint.

This was an adjustment from the 1st debate where they made * and Kerry the same height. In that instance, *'s podium was higher on the screen. This time, they put the podiums on the same level which had the effect of * being in the foreground and Kerry being in the background.

Bush was really pink on my screen, like a cooked lobster or a cooked shrimp.

2. Cooked shrimp
Or just a warmer, friendlier guy than that "green" Kerry guy.

6. i was telling my sister that.. looked sunburned or cooked
also noticed it looked like his camera was closer too, in order to make him and Kerry look more the same size. At least that is the way it appeared to me on NBC.

3. On C-SPAN looked to me like Shrubbie McFuckWad had the worse lighting
when he was in the middle of the podium, he had a terrible reddish/pinksih tint light on him. When he moved to either side, the lighting was very natural and looked fine.

I have to say that Kerry had the far better lighting (though he also had a somewhat odd tint).

But on other stations, I didn't see the same reddish/pinkish tint on the AWOL War Criminal In Chief. Only on CSPAN.

I have a feeling that CSPAN was having some difficulties with its camera placement, and that it wasn't a conpsiracy with lighting.
