Hope maybe someone can confirm for me that Mitt is actually cheating here?

I only ask because if he is then why isn't this a major news story?

For me it would be something that would signal that here is a man who cannot be trusted.
It would be a really big deal?

Do others think this is a big deal or am an I just a naive idealist who needs to get real?

Of course the other thing is it's just so bloody inept that I'd be also thinking that someone with such a childish way of cheating was a bit of a wally.

So is it cheating

It would be funny if true.
The most powerful man in the world,
The President Of the United States of America
outsmarted by a man with a handkerchief.

"It's a handkerchief," the aide said simply in response to the post. Romney can be seen at another moment in the debate using the handkerchief.

I think this is the type of claim that would require a level of proof like Mt Everest in absolute terms. Obama is...not his friend...to be almost laughingly understated about it and Obama was feet away from him. He'd have noticed this. I'm not sure what that was... Something... but reading off cards in a fluid, fast moving speaking situation isn't something you can hide. I mean, if anyone...Obama was looking down an awful lot.


This kind of thing can get out of hand quick...the speculation on top of speculation, IMO.

You can figure the views the public saw of the stage are just a few recorded from many many angles. All angles, I'm sure.... There is almost 0 chance I could see of this being done, even if someone was so shallow as to try.

Just my two cents....

* I noticed the comments over there went way out there assuming those were cards or something...

Just because he later wiped his nose with his cheat sheets means nothing.


Actually, I'm half convinced it was a genuine hanky but it's still funny how he James Bonded it.

They're really going overboard with trying to discredit Romney.

Sour Grapes ?

Even if a "cheat sheet" was there, he still had to make the presentations and rebuttals effectively !!

And it wasn't like Romney was ignorant of the issues and facts like maybe Obama seemed to be ?

Cheaters usually can't do two things at once anyway .....

Just review Obama's performance and see.

Yeah could be. Guess I'd have to watch the full debate and see whether he glances down or mops his brow with it.
But in a debate where speakers aren't supposed to use preprepared notes you'd think they'd have water, and paper towels on hand. Especially after Nixon's sweatfest when he faced Kennedy. (hope that's right).

I would suggest that mopping his brow during a debate might be seen as a sign of weakness and blowing his nose would be pretty gross, but maybe he was a boy scout and he just wanted to be prepared?

Obama has been cheating for the last four years with fraudulent pieces of paper. His SS#, birth certificate, muslim membership card, teleprompters etc.

Personally, as a Brit I have no strong preference either way. Obama was a disappointment and Romney will be more of the same. I would have loved Ron Paul to be the candidate because then we'd have had some fireworks and TPTB would have been forced to remove Ron Paul by some other means. This is a show designed to convince us we have a choice but in reality I don't suppose it'll make much difference who wins. The next four years are already mapped out methinks.

However it is fun watching them wiggle.

I did not watch the debate, it is always the same.
Chev Debates Ford
on who has the number one selling vehicle
in America, and Toyota is not allowed to attend,
even though they are the number one seller.

Wow. Pretty classy, dude.

Even Romney's own campaign had to fact check that debate because he was so full of it. Telling 27 lies in 38 minutes isn't very commendable, no matter how much serial killer charm you put in to it.
