I haven't heard anything about that over here. The box in the back of his pants would have been the mic's battery pack, they were carrying cordless mics in their hands adn those need a battery pack somewhere on you. The earpiece was either a hearing aid or possibly he was listening to a baseball game during the debate. :)

As an American, can I say that I feel that our electoral system has failed us? We have no one to choose from this year. How did we get Kerry as a choice? Wasn't there anyone else? How did we get Bush? Wasn't there anyone else? Where are the statesmen, the great intelligent caring men who could lead the nation? Where are the Lincons, the Jeffersons or Adams? I would even settle for another Reagan if I had to. why are we stuck with Dumb and Dumber as our presidential candidates? ( Iwon't tell you which is which because its such a toss up)

I want another choice.
