From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Last night, on Hannity & Colmes (is that how it's spelled), they showed
(not as part of the pen/notes controversy), the opening of the debate,
where they shook hands, and walked to their respective podiums.  The camera
angle show on this playback, was the camera pointed directly at Kerry's
podium (head on), and to MY EYES, he clearly took out a pen, and twisted it
to open it.

I've not been able to get any of the other online copies to display
clearly, but this was on broadcast TV, an normal full size.  I knew to
watch, as there has been so much discussion about, and I wanted to see IF I
could notice anything.

There definitely was not any white items seen by me.

I think this is much ado about nothing.

I think the President didn't do as well as he could have, I was NOT
persuaded to change my opinion.

JUST adding this here as another point of visual reference.
