I think it is likely that the extra wireless mic would be for moving around the stage or even away from the mic a little bit, and keeping the voice intact. If it turns out to really be a secret headset, that is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard of. My honest opinion is that Bush did pretty poorly in that debate and missed many opportunities to pounce on Kerry. If Rove or some other campaigner were on the other side of a earplug, he would have done much, much better. One last point. I watched the debate and then I watched all the follow-ups showing still shots and video of Bush's pissy expressions. Millions and millions of people scrutinized his face and posture and not a single person saw any type of earpiece or even bone vibration-type speaker. I think something would be visible on his head or ear somewhere. I will go back and re-watch my TiVoed debate and look for both mic and headset of any kind. I doubt this is anything important. I am pretty sure that is not a bullet proof vest.

I think the best proof that it was nothing nefarious was his poor performance in the debate. (I say that in all seriousness) Had he been equipped with an earpiece wired to one of his policy / speechwriter guys, he would have performed much better, and they would have told him to stop making that sour lemon face.

Normally they are placed at the hip and at the very least toward the back belt line. The fact is the only person who knows what that is is GW himself. I wouldn't rule out a bullet proof vest though and how do you actually win anything when you lie? Having worn and used wireless mics, that would be the most ridiculous area to place the transmitter.

James Baker explicitly requested that neither candidate be able to walk away from their podium, since he had seen Kerry do that with great success in a Mass. senatorial debate. Maybe a bulletproof vest, but my best guess is that it's a bro. ...or a Manzeer. I couldn’t be a wireless mic pack.

They need to put all of the video and audio together and get it out there on the mainstream media, as a paid commercial. Will Bush retain his folksy, plain talker image if he's exposed to be using an earpiece and being spoon-fed responses? I doubt it. Kerry in a landslide!

It's a rectangular box-like device with a coaxial cable snaking up his right shoulder. All the theories of it being a kevlar vest or back brace were denied by of all people, THE WHITE HOUSE itself! They are sticking to their story that it's "bunched up fabric" from his suit. Amazing...A perfectly rectangular box of fabric between his shoulder blades...America is truly naive and gullible. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and flies like a duck, it just might be a DUCK...Or in this case, the puppet strings attached to Karl Rove in the wings.

I know how stupid you all think Bush is, but as Jay mentioned above, days ago, "Having worn and used wireless mics, that would be the most ridiculous area to place the transmitter." It's important. In between your shoulder blades is not where a transmitter would go. They are typically in the small of the back because of the natural indentation. As dumb as you think Bush may be, he wouldn't have wired himself up. Somebody who knew what they were doing would have. It would not have been there. It is all very confusing. I don;t know what it is. I am pretty sure it is NOT "a wrinkle in the fabric", Bush people deny the bulletproof vest (which I did not believe anyway), they deny the extra mic theory (which was my best guess), and I can't believe it is a poorly placed receiver. I just can't believe it would be in that location, and that his answers would be so bad if he had external couching. So what else could it possibly be? A jetpack for quick getaway? A Camelback water pack? Cigarettes? Marajuana? Altoids? LEt’s be fair here.
