Well, this is ALMOST on-topic, as it involves wireless audio devices.
More suited (if you'll pardon the pun) to a newsgroup on corporate AV,
however. They're the ones who mostly use these devices. You don't
think all those CEO's are working from just their own knowledge when
they answer questions from shareholders, do you? So why should the CEO
of USA, Inc. not avail himself of the best available technology?

Because this is supposed to be a live, televised debate?

HA!

You probably believe that Britany Spears sings into that headset mic
while she's dancing, too.

I know a guy who sat on a panel with the Prez, who said he had an equally
vast knowledge of an arcane subject...the post-secondary education system in
the US...again w/o notes. Hmmm. But how does the sound get into his ears at
the debate? Is he 'implanted' or something? The legendary Windows Human
Interface Device???

....and if you look very carefully you can see a 3.5mm jack socket in the
side of Bush's head and the outline of the battery compartment just below
the his hairline...

The significance is that the agreement that the two parties signed
stipulated no use of wireless communications to the debator.

If you mean the split screen on C-SPAN, that part of the agreement was
not signed.

I don't know why everybody seems intent on misusing the term podium.

It is not a podium, it is a lectern.

A podium is stood upon, usually by the conductor of an orchestra. It can also
be a footing or a wall, but it is not something one stands behind to give a
speech.

Bzzzzzzzt! Sorry but you is mistaken Rick. The terms "lectern" and "podium"
are in fact synonymous.

"Dictionary.com".

" podium.
po·di·um ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pd-m)
n. pl. po·di·a (-d-) or po·di·ums

1. An elevated platform, as for an orchestra conductor or public speaker.

2. A stand for holding the notes of a public speaker; a lectern. "

Bummer. We get to see reality. What a change for the press.

It was a pen that he pulled out of his pocket. Taking notes was okay,
BRINGING notes was against the rules.

Now how many times did Bush look down and "remember" his talking
points? Five? More?

I think that we should be allowed to "see their work" - just like math
class.

I actually got it from a UK resident. He said "maths", which sounded
even better.
